New car sales in Indonesia climbed 12.2% year-on-year to 81,159 units in February 2026, following a 7.0% rise in the previous month. The increase signaled that demand for new vehicles is gradually improving after weakening in January, supported by stronger interest in electric vehicles and a broader recovery in Indonesia’s automotive sector. On a monthly basis, car sales surged 22.1%. In the January-February period, total wholesales reached 147,631 units. Meanwhile, retail new car sales jumped 16.7% month-on-month to 78,219 units.
