Positive Reception at GIIAS 2025

At the GIIAS 2025 event, BYD and Denza received a positive reception from the public. This was proven by the large number of orders placed during the exhibition.

Impressively, from that event, the two managed to record 4,195 vehicle orders.

“We greatly appreciate the enthusiasm of the Indonesian people for BYD during GIIAS 2025. This support and trust are a great motivation for us to continue to present the best products and experiences,” added Lunther.

Although not detailed, the large number of orders is believed to be inseparable from the presence of their new product, the BYD Atto 1. The presence of this model is indeed very attractive due to its highly competitive price.
