Polytron G3 & G3+ Price & Specs: Indonesia’s Latest Electric SUVs
Indonesia’s Polytron has begun offering its domestically-branded electric vehicles, the G3 and G3+, to consumers, marking a significant step in the country’s developing EV market. The vehicles, a collaboration between Polytron and Skyworth K EV, are available through both traditional purchase and subscription models, with prices starting at 329.5 million Indonesian Rupiah (approximately $20,600 USD) for the G3 under a subscription plan.
Without the subscription option, the Polytron G3 is priced at 461.5 million Rupiah ($28,900 USD), although the G3+ model starts at 505.5 million Rupiah ($31,700 USD). These prices are valid for on-the-road costs in Jakarta, with potential variations in other regions of the archipelago.
The Polytron G3 and G3+ are sizable SUVs, measuring 4.720 meters in length, 1.908 meters in width, and 1.696 meters in height, with a wheelbase of 2.800 meters. The vehicles offer 1,141 liters of cargo space and feature an electronic tailgate with a kick sensor. Both models are equipped with a 51.196 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery and a 150 kW electric motor, promising a range of up to 402 kilometers (approximately 250 miles).
Polytron claims a maximum speed of 150 km/h (93 mph) and an acceleration time of 9.6 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h. Charging times are reported as less than 35 minutes for a 20-80% charge using a DC prompt charger. AC charging takes under 3.5 hours for the G3+ variant, while the G3 requires a longer charging duration.
Safety features include Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) Level 2 technology, incorporating 14 functions such as auto parking assistance, autonomous emergency braking, traffic sign recognition, adaptive cruise control, emergency lane keeping assist, safe exit warning, blind spot detection, auto brake hold, and driver fatigue reminder.
The launch of the Polytron G3 and G3+ follows Skyworth’s commencement of vehicle production in Indonesia, signaling a growing commitment to local EV manufacturing. The Polytron G3 is expected to be available soon, according to BitAuto Global.
