Used Car Trends in 2026: MPVs and LCGCs Remain Favorites

KatadataOTO – Used cars have become an attractive option for the public amidst unstable economic conditions. Competitive prices and the availability of installment options are among its attractions.

This year, the types of cars that are said to be in high demand are models in the Low Cost Green Car or LCGC segment.

It should be noted that there are five LCGC models offered in Indonesia, namely the Toyota Calya, Toyota Agya, Daihatsu Sigra, Daihatsu Ayla, and Honda Brio Satya.

According to a used car showroom owner at MGK Kemayoran, besides LCGCs, Multi-Purpose Vehicles (MPV) are also quite popular among consumers.

“MPVs are for the upper-middle segment, while LCGCs are for the lower-middle,” said Andi, owner of Jordy Mobil MGK Kemayoran, when contacted by KatadataOTO recently.

Andi revealed that some of the trendy and sought-after MPVs by buyers are the Toyota Kijang Innova Reborn, Honda CR-V, and Toyota Avanza.

Amidst the influx of cheap electric cars in the Rp 100 million range, Andi is optimistic that the used car market will still have its own enthusiasts.

“I think it (the used car trend) will remain the same even with the influence of electric cars,” said Andi.

Speaking of price tags, used car prices in the market can vary depending on the condition and completeness of the vehicle's documents.

Specifically for MPVs, Andi revealed that their used car price range is around Rp 300 million and below.

Meanwhile, customers are usually looking for used cars in the price range of around Rp 100 million to Rp 300 million.

The Used Car Market in Indonesia is Growing

Previously reported, a study from Ken Research and Deloitte Analysis showed that the used car market in Indonesia was already quite high as of 2020, with a total of 1.6 million vehicles sold.

“It is predicted that in 2025 the market will be three million with a growth of about 14 percent a year,” said Wahyu Seto, General Manager of Hyundai Solusi Mobilitas in Jakarta some time ago.

The positive development of used car sales in the country has then prompted manufacturers to maximize their certified pre-owned vehicle trade-in services.

For example, Hyundai, Honda, and even luxury car brands like BMW. The prices offered are lower, but the quality is guaranteed.

Many used car platforms are also making it easier for customers to get the products they want according to their financial capabilities and needs.
