Suzuki Still Imports Jimny From Abroad

RiderTua.com – Suzuki car sales in Indonesia are still helped by models such as the Jimny. However, unlike the Ertiga and XL7, this SUV is still imported directly from abroad. Previously, Suzuki received suggestions from a number of people to assemble it locally. They prefer to import it because they see that demand in the market is not high enough.

Suzuki Jimny Comes Directly in CBU Form

Both the 3-door and 5-door models have received good reception from Indonesian consumers since they were first released. Suzuki had experienced difficulties in fulfilling existing orders, even for its newest model. It’s clear that many people don’t want to miss out on buying a Jimny, which has become one of the favorite cars in Indonesia.

However, because they experienced difficulties when orders piled up, many suggested that Suzuki could assemble it locally. Of course, this can also reduce dependence on imports, considering that they also bring in other models from abroad such as the Baleno Hatchback to the Grand Vitara. However, they still want to import it because demand is not as high as expected.

Demand Not Too High

With 1,700 Jimny 5-door units already ordered, Suzuki sees this as something that can still be handled without needing to assemble it locally. Not to mention the quality, which could be reduced if the model is produced in Indonesia. Indeed, this could reduce the selling price, but they still don’t want to look in that direction.

Demand for the Jimny is still high, even including the 3-door model which has many fans to this day. However, unlike the previous three years, the queue for orders is not so large, so Suzuki can handle it. Although for the 5-door model which also has many orders so far.
