Chinese automakers are expanding their presence in East Java, Indonesia’s third-largest car market, ahead of next year’s Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) in Surabaya.

Market Impact

Gaikindo said East Java accounted for 9.1% of national car sales through April 2026, making it the third-biggest market after Jakarta and West Java. Nearly half of the 26 passenger-car brands exhibiting at GIIAS 2026 Surabaya—slated for 26-30 August at Grand City Convex—are Chinese, including newcomers Changan, iCar and Leapmotor. Most are showcasing new-energy vehicles.

GAC highlighted Surabaya’s growth potential and said its sales in the city have climbed alongside a dealer network that has reached five outlets. The brand is offering discounts on electric models and prizes, including a chance to win an Aion Y Plus via a test-drive programme.

Changan is debuting two electric lines, the Deepal S05 and Nevo Q05, with financing terms as low as 0% down and lucky-draw giveaways. Similar roadshows will follow in Bandung, Semarang and Makassar through year-end.
