RiderTua.com – Toyota hybrid cars have become increasingly popular in Indonesia in recent months. This is proven by the Kijang Innova Zenix Hybrid which became the best-selling hybrid model last year. Especially with Toyota’s other flagship model, namely the Yaris Cross Hybrid, in the SUV segment. This model is even able to attract the attention of Indonesian consumers to switch to the environmentally friendly version.
Toyota Yaris Cross Hybrid is increasingly popular with consumers
It is clear that environmentally friendly cars are increasingly sought after by consumers because they can reduce the carbon emissions produced. Especially in providing better fuel efficiency when compared to regular petrol cars. So far, Toyota has only presented two locally assembled hybrid cars, consisting of the Kijang Innova Zenix and Yaris Cross Hybrid.
The sales performance of both is quite good, especially with the environmentally friendly version being the most sold. Interestingly, in the last few months, Toyota has seen an increasing trend in sales of hybrid variants of each model. Especially the Yaris Cross, where this variant sells better in the market than the conventional version.

Of course, this is not an unusual sight, considering that sales of hybrid cars usually exceed those of the ICE (internal combustion engine) version. Especially for Toyota, where environmentally friendly variants are much sought after by Indonesian consumers. It’s true that the average price is more expensive than the Yaris Cross Hybrid, but that doesn’t affect sales in the slightest.
This is why it is not uncommon for Toyota to always stop selling petrol versions of a model in its market, for example the C-HR to the Corolla Cross. It is possible that the Yaris Cross will also suffer the same fate as the two SUVs, although they admit that they cannot do so at this time. Because Toyota still wants to meet the demand in its market, even though the demand is quite high.
