GAC Indonesia has unveiled the Aion i60 electric SUV in Jakarta and opened pre-bookings, putting a guide price of “Rp500 million-something” on the car while holding back the official figure until Gaikindo Auto Week (GAW) later this month. The model is the battery-electric crossover that GAC hinted at in October without naming it, when it promised a car that had never been shown in Indonesia.
The launch took place on Saturday, 7 November, according to Kompas.com and OtoDream.
First right-hand-drive i60
Indonesia gets the i60 in right-hand-drive form, and GAC is presenting that as a first. The two outlets frame it slightly differently: Kompas.com describes the launch as the model’s Southeast Asian debut in right-hand-drive configuration, while OtoDream quotes GAC Indonesia chief executive Andry Ciu going further.
“The Aion i60 launched in Indonesia is the first right-hand-drive [version] outside China.” – Andry Ciu, CEO, GAC Indonesia, to OtoDream (translated from Indonesian)
GAC markets the car as an “All-Rounder Vehicle”, a family crossover that borrows from SUV, MPV and saloon packaging. Masato Katsumata, chief technology officer of GAC International, told reporters the company was aiming for a quality standard that combined comfort, safety and reliability, and described Indonesia as a strategic market.
Size, range and equipment
According to Kompas.com, the i60 measures 4,685 mm long, 1,854 mm wide and 1,660 mm tall, on a 2,775 mm wheelbase. GAC claims an effective cabin length of more than three metres, with 1,037 mm of second-row legroom and 1,020 mm of headroom.
OtoDream reports the following headline claims for the Indonesian car:
- Range of up to 602 km on a single charge (the test standard was not stated)
- DC fast charging from 30% to 70% in about 15 minutes
- A 60-litre front boot (“frunk”)
- A 15.6-inch, 2.5K-resolution infotainment screen and a “nap mode” for resting in the car
- Level 2 driver assistance with 15 functions, including adaptive cruise control, traffic jam assist and lane keeping assist
Neither outlet gave the battery capacity or motor output for Indonesian-market cars. As we noted in October, the Chinese-market i60 is sold with 56.68 kWh and 77.65 kWh packs and quoted on China’s CLTC cycle, which tends to produce higher range figures than the WLTP standard used in Europe. Buyers should treat the 602 km claim as a best-case number until GAC publishes full specifications.
Pre-booking terms and deliveries
Pre-bookings run from 7 to 19 November 2026 through GAC Indonesia’s dealer network, with a booking fee of Rp99,000. GAC says customers who book in that window are eligible for unspecified “free upgrade” offers, and deliveries are targeted to start in December 2026. The official price is due at GAW 2026, which OtoDream says runs from 20 to 29 November.
Neither report said whether the i60 will be imported or assembled locally. That matters: from 2027 the government wants electric cars to reach 60% local content with locally built battery packs to keep their tax advantages, and locally assembled rivals are already lining up, such as the XPeng G9L due on 11 November.
What it means for buyers
At around Rp500 million, the i60 would sit in the middle of the Aion range in Indonesia; our Aion directory entry lists current models from about Rp345 million for the Aion UT to Rp755 million for the Hyptec HT. The Rp99,000 booking fee is a low-risk way to hold a place in the queue, but buyers should wait for the confirmed price, battery size and warranty terms at GAW before committing, and check how any free upgrades compare with show discounts other brands typically offer at the event. Our guide to EV taxes and incentives in 2026 explains how import status can affect the final on-the-road price.
