I saw that a brand new Toyota avanza costs arround 14k euros in Indonesia.
This seems very cheap for me. For sure toyota saves on some parts so that the Cars can be Sold more cheaper over there.
Does anyone know how these Toyota can be sold so cheap in Indonesia?
I’m going to say the crash standards or regulations in Indonesia are much less, if there are any at all. IDK. In the US, it takes big bucks to pass US regulations and that cost gets passed onto the US consumer.
Indonesia uses NCAP as opposed to IIHS. Specifically avanza, is rated 5 stars. ASEAN has a higher NCAP standard than global, but probably lower than Australian one
