BATAMCLICK.COM: In the evolving landscape of Indonesia’s automotive industry, PT Suzuki Indomobil Sales (SIS) has posted a promising milestone in May 2025. Locally manufactured models—New Carry, New XL7, All New Ertiga, and APV—accounted for 81% of Suzuki’s total retail sales for the month.
But beyond the numbers lies a broader story of independence, collaboration, and shared ambition. Thousands of Suzuki workers, hundreds of local component suppliers, and a nationwide dealer network have all contributed to this momentum.
“The 81% share of locally-assembled vehicles is more than just a market indicator. It’s a tribute to the hard work of our local workforce and the involvement of hundreds of partners in our supply chain,” said Randy R. Murdoko, Dept. Head of 4W Sales at PT SIS.
Overall, Suzuki’s retail sales grew by 11% compared to the previous month. The New Carry led the way, contributing 55% of total sales, followed by the New XL7 and All New Ertiga, both of which have earned praise for fuel efficiency and durability, especially among urban families and small business owners.
The success isn’t confined to domestic markets. Indonesian-made Suzuki vehicles are now exported to over 70 countries, including Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America—underscoring Indonesia’s strategic role in Suzuki’s global roadmap.
Suzuki’s aftersales support network, which includes 302 dealerships and 217 official workshops across the archipelago, plays a crucial role not only in customer service but also in supporting local economies and job creation.
“Our retail sales are largely driven by business owners who need fuel-efficient, tough, and versatile vehicles. That’s why the New Carry is so dominant,” Randy concluded.***
