DAPURPACUID – It is recorded that up to August 2024, the Suzuki Hybrid has sold more than 30,000 units since it was first popularized in 2022. Apart from being environmentally friendly, factors of customer interest in this model include practicality in mobility.
This connection with the sale of hybrid cars cannot be separated from the growing awareness of environmental impacts, long-distance travelers are also increasingly considering more efficient cars to reduce total fuel consumption in order to reduce emissions left behind when passing through various regions.
“Hybrid vehicles are currently the most attractive and relevant efficiency solution alternative for Indonesian people when the frequency of mobilization is high. “This is proven by the significant record sales figures for hybrid vehicles every year, showing that Indonesian consumers increasingly need environmentally friendly technology,” said Harold Donnell, 4W Marketing Director of PT Suzuki Indomobil Sales (SIS).
Another factor that causes hybrid car sales to increase is the increasing number of toll roads that are connected to each other, especially on the islands of Java, Sumatra, and others, which is what causes the spread of sales of Suzuki hybrid cars such as the Grand Vitara, New XL7 Hybrid, and All New Ertiga Hybrid. reaching the Indonesian islands.
From January to August 2024 alone, almost 80% of the three models were on the island of Java, while other positive growth was seen on the island of Sumatra where 10% of hybrid model sales were located there. Apart from these two islands, the presence of the Suzuki hybrid model is also widespread on the islands of Bali, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, as well as Maluku and Papua.
Apart from ease of use, low maintenance costs and robustness of Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki (SHVS) technology, it has been recognized as suitable for use by customers in various places without exception. One of the keys to supporting the advantages of Suzuki hybrid cars is the light weight of the vehicle. Using the Heartect platform in each of its hybrid model lines, Suzuki has succeeded in achieving a vehicle weight reduction of up to 10%.
When light vehicles are combined with SHVS technology, Suzuki believes it will create optimal efficiency and have smaller impacts on the environment, reduce the impact on changes in driving dynamics and agility, reduce the impact on changes in track surface, and minimize risks for drivers, passengers and users. recourse if an accident occurs.
The advantages of using a Suzuki hybrid car for long-distance travel can be directly felt by the driver, such as the following 2 things, first is the flexibility of distance and second is the speed of the duration of the trip. That’s when motorists are faced with concerns about the remaining distance that can be traveled, through efficiency through the existence of SHVS, as well as the presence of more than 7,000 SPBU (Public Fuel Filling Stations) throughout Indonesia can certainly cure this anxiety.
“Suzuki has been able to combine embedding more environmentally friendly technology in light-weight vehicles to create cars that are more efficient and provide a sense of calm for drivers even when traveling long distances. “Of course, we add safety equipment and appropriate features according to customer needs without having to make new adaptations or change our usual mobility patterns,” concluded Harold.
