Hyundai will produce electric cars in a time soon. At present the South Korean car manufacturer has two line-ups for this battery-powered car, IoniQ and Kona.

Vice President of Hyundai Motor Asia Pacific, Lee Kang Hyun said the Hyundai factory in Cikarang is currently producing the CRETA SUV variant which has been launched to customers on February 2 yesterday. Going forward, it will also produce one type of electric car, IoniQ 5.

“In March we produce IONIQ 5 electric cars to support the electric car market in Indonesia,” Lee said, to CNBC Indonesia on Friday (4/2/2022).

Ioniq 5 is the latest electric car from Hyundai. The hatchback variant with a futuristic car model, has even won the best electric car on 2021. Lee said that from the sale of Ioniq and Kona imported at this time have dominated the electric car market in Indonesia.

With a market share reaching 90%. He is optimistic Ionic 5 Indonesian production can also support the Hyundai electric car market, at an affordable price and guaranteed after sales service.

Makmur, the Chief Operating Officer HMID, said the advantage of producing electric cars in Indonesia, according to Government Regulation PP Number 74/2021, the PPNBM became zero percent. Previously, “PPNBM zero percent despite importing from outside. Now, with the new regulation, which is not produced by local not zero percent,“said Makmur

That is, the locally produced is IONIQ 5 and will get zero percent PPnBM. Therefore, Kona and Ioniq prices rise, because they are still imported from South Korea. “But, for later LOCAL Production, it’s a PPNBM zero percent. That will be enjoyed again by the Indonesian people,” Makmur said.

Hyundai is ready to introduce Ioniq 5 Makmur said, Kona and Ioniq will still be sold, because the segment is different, namely B SUV. While for Ioniq 5, the segment is above it. That way, the price will be on it too.

“If the segment is different, the features are more, it must be,” said Makmur. At present, Kona Signature type is priced at Rp. 734.9 million (OTR Jakarta). While Ioniq, for the prime type cost Rp. 675.7 million (OTR Jakarta) and the type of signature for sale at Rp. 715.7 million (OTR Jakarta). That way, there is a possibility that IONIQ 5 electric car prices will be marketed in the range of Rp. 750 million to penetrate Rp. 800 million.
