BYD has gained significant attention in Indonesia’s electric vehicle market with its expanding lineup and attractive pricing. The Chinese automotive company now offers six electric car models covering city cars, SUVs, MPVs, and premium sedans, making it one of the most complete EV lineups for consumers seeking alternatives to conventional vehicles.
The presence of BYD began to accelerate after the company opened official bookings in the country. Initially, three models were available: BYD Dolphin, Atto 3, and Seal. According to industry reports, early customers had to exercise patience as unit deliveries started several months after bookings, demonstrating the brand’s high demand and complex regulatory environment.
Lineup Expansion and Local Incentives
BYD quickly became a beneficiary of government incentives for fully built imported electric vehicles. This position allowed them to price their offerings competitively against locally produced EVs. The strong response from Indonesian buyers further motivated BYD to diversify their product range.
Within a short span, BYD introduced the M6 MPV, first showcased at a prominent automotive event. The M6 was released in several variants, including standard, superior, and superior captain seat versions, aimed at meeting family and executive transportation needs. The M6 features battery options up to 71.8 kWh, providing a maximum range of 530 km, positioning it as a versatile choice for longer commutes.
Premium Segment SUV and Newest Entry City Car
Continuing its push into different segments, BYD brought the Sealion 7 SUV to market. This model came in two variants, both equipped with 82.56 kWh batteries. The Sealion 7 showcased longer driving ranges for its class—up to 567 km on a single charge for the Premium variant, and 542 km for the Performance variant, reflecting BYD’s focus on energy efficiency and value.
The most anticipated recent launch from BYD is the Atto 1, a city car positioned as the most affordable electric vehicle in their fleet so far. Introduced at a major auto show, the Atto 1 stirred up the market due to its competitive price—on par with popular low-cost green cars (LCGC) in the country. The Atto 1 is available in two variants: Dynamic Standard Range with a 30.08 kWh battery (claimed range 300 km) and Premium Long Range with a larger 38.88 kWh battery (claimed range 380 km). Both variants share the same electric motor, producing 55 kW of power and 135 Nm of torque, allowing impressive acceleration for its class.
