RiderTua.com – Honda has only sold two hybrid cars in Indonesia, both of which are CBU models from abroad. Including the CR-V e:HEV, where the previous generation model was assembled locally, but now the units are imported directly from Thailand. However, Honda still recorded quite good sales results from its flagship medium SUV. With 300 units sold throughout last month.
Honda Successfully Sells 390 CR-V e:HEV Units in March 2024
Since it was first presented in Indonesia, the CR-V has become one of Honda‘s mainstays in the SUV car market. After being here for a long time, the medium SUV entered its newest generation last year, now bringing an environmentally friendly variant in e:HEV technology. But the model is no longer produced locally, but imported directly from Thailand.
So it’s not surprising why the selling price is quite expensive, reaching more than IDR 800 million, apart from bringing many changes to the model itself, it comes in CBU form. But that doesn’t mean there are few fans, with hundreds of units being sold every month. Like last March, where Honda successfully sold 390 units of the CR-V e:HEV in Indonesia.
CBU model
In fact, if you look at the sales results so far, the CR-V has always sold 300 units every month, with a total of 1,063 units sold during the first quarter of this year. Maybe that’s quite a small result when compared to other Honda SUVs, such as the BR-V to HR-V. But it is clear that the CR-V is an imported model, and even then the demand is not as much as the HR-V or Honda cars other than SUVs, for example the Brio.
Apart from the CR-V, the Accord also got a hybrid variant as well as its latest generation model at the end of last year, with the unit imported from Thailand. This model is priced quite expensively compared to the CR-V, although for a sedan the price is right. It’s just that Accord sales are still unclear.
