Volvo returns to Indonesian market after a long absence; the flagship XC90 SUV and S90 sedan are expected to play significant role in garnering customers

Swedish luxury auto manufacturer has returned to Indonesian market in January this year after a long absence in the country. The company used to rule the country’s luxury auto market in the 1990’s alongside two German brands Mercedes-Benz and BMW. It had a dedicated customer base there, but later the company stopped selling cars.

Now, the luxury brand has made a comeback to the South East Asian market again, as the demands for premium cars are increasing in Indonesia. It has appointed the Garansindo Group as the OEM which also serves as the OEM for other brands like Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler and Ducati. Currently, it is the sole distributor in the country.
