Following the launch of the Toyota Innova Zenix Hybrid in Indonesia, Toyota will be introducing more electrified (HEV) models in the Archipelago in the near future. According to OtoDriver, sources close to the matter told the Indonesian publication that there are more hybrid models planned for Indonesia. That being said, Toyota’s hybrid line-up in Indonesia won’t be expanded next year, but from 2024 instead. “Everything will start with the Toyota Yaris Cross Hybrid which will be launched in Janu

In spite of retaking the title of Indonesia’s best-selling car in 2021, the Toyota Avanza had its crown snatched by the Mitsubishi Xpander in January 2022.

The current, second generation Toyota Avanza is now reaching the 10th year of its model life. Granted, it has received many updates since, including two new NR series 1.3-litre and 1.5-litre aluminum block Dual VVT-i engines introduced in 2015, followed by a styling update in 2019 (now including Android Auto/Apple CarPlay).
