Daihatsu sigra Leads the Pack as LCGC Sales Decline in First Half of 2025

jakarta – Sales of Low Cost Green Car (LCGC) models experienced a significant downturn in the first half of 2025, with a 28.5 percent decrease compared to the same period last year. A total of 64,063 LCGC units where sold between January and June 2025, marking a drop of 25,580 units.

Monthly sales figures reveal a consistent decline:
January: 12,324 units
February: 13,618 units
March: 12,726 units
April: 9,087 units
May: 8,546 units
June: 7,762 units

Despite the sluggish market,the daihatsu Sigra emerged as the top-selling LCGC model,with 21,029 units sold in the first semester.The Honda Brio Satya secured the second position with 18,233 units, followed by the Toyota Calya, a popular MPV, which sold 14,359 units. The Daihatsu Ayla ranked fourth with 6,434 units,and its counterpart,the Toyota Agya,rounded out the top five with 4,008 units sold.The affordability that once defined the LCGC segment has diminished. Prices, which started around Rp 76 million in 2013, have now climbed to approximately Rp 138 million for the cheapest models, with some reaching up to rp 200 million. This price increase is attributed to several factors,including inflation,currency depreciation,and tax adjustments.

Historically, LCGCs benefited from being exempt from luxury tax (PPnBM), a factor that significantly boosted car sales in Indonesia, reaching a record high of 1,229,811 units in 2013. However, the current fiscal landscape, including a Value Added Tax (VAT) increase to 12%, coupled with other levies, has placed a greater financial burden on consumers seeking these entry-level vehicles.
