Vespa Keeps Sprint and Primavera 180 Prices Steady Amid Dollar Rise

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The weakening Indonesian rupiah against the US dollar typically leads to immediate price adjustments for imported premium motorcycles in Indonesia. However, PT Piaggio Indonesia has taken a different approach. The iconic Italian motorcycle manufacturer has chosen to keep its vehicle prices stable. This price-holding policy is particularly notable for the latest Vespa Sprint 180 and Primavera 180 models. However, consumers eager to purchase the new-engine Vespa models at current prices must act quickly, as Piaggio Indonesia’s management has indicated the stable pricing ‘promotion’ will not last long. Marco Noto La Diega, Managing Director of PT Piaggio Indonesia, explained that maintaining prices despite increased engine specifications is a short-term strategic move to ensure the new models gain widespread acceptance among domestic consumers first. “This won’t last long (holding prices). We can’t absorb these additional costs indefinitely, but for now we’re offering more at the same price,” Marco said during the product launch. Piaggio acknowledged additional production costs from the engine displacement increase to 180cc and global currency exchange rate fluctuations. However, for now, the company has chosen to absorb these extra costs to cater to its loyal Indonesian fans. “As for the dollar impact, there’s no adjustment yet. Price changes haven’t happened so far,” Ayu said during an interview in Jakarta on Tuesday, May 26, 2026. For those interested in capitalising on the current stable pricing before future adjustments, here are the latest on-the-road prices for the Vespa Sprint 180 and Primavera 180 in Jakarta: With the engine displacement increased to 180cc without a price increase, the new Vespa range offers excellent value for money for Indonesia’s premium scooter enthusiasts.
