Interestingly, four automotive brands from China made it into the top 10: Wuling, BYD, Chery, and Denza. Wuling was the highest among them, securing the eighth position with 2,033 units.

Following that, BYD's achievement slowly overtook Chery's. BYD delivered 1,488 units to consumers in February, while Chery delivered 1,327 units.

This was supported by BYD's aggressive introduction of new models. At the IIMS 2025 event, they brought the Sealion 7, which is touted as the SUV version of the Seal sedan.

In terms of price, it is also not much different. Still offered in the range of Rp 600 million and above, making it increasingly competitive against its rivals.

Meanwhile, Chery has once again introduced a new model targeting the entry-level class, the Tiggo Cross, as an update to the Tiggo 5X. Priced in the Rp 200 million range, it is within the purchasing power of the public today.
