Six Japanese car brands are among the 27 car brands participating in the Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) in Surabaya, which will be held at the Grand City Convention & Exhibition in East Java from August 26th to 30th, 2026.
The 11th edition of the Surabaya exhibition is expected to support automotive spending, particularly on electric vehicles (EVs). However, national EV sales, including in East Java, are predominantly accounted for by Chinese products. Japanese manufacturers are responding to the increasing presence of Chinese brands.
According to the organisers of GIIAS Surabaya 2026, the Japanese car brands participating in the exhibition are Daihatsu, Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Toyota. They will be joined by Chinese brands including BAIC, BYD, Changan, Chery, GAC Aion, Geely, GWM, iCAR, Omoda Jaecoo, Jetour, Leapmotor, Lepas, Wuling, Xpeng and Foton.
Other participating brands include Citroen from France, Jeep from the United States, Hyundai and Kia from South Korea, Polytron from Indonesia, and VinFast from Vietnam.
"For GIIAS Surabaya, we will also showcase the Super-ONE to strengthen the presence of EVs from Honda," said Honda Surabaya Center President Director Ang Hoey Tiong at a press conference in Surabaya on August 24th, 2026.
The Super-ONE is a battery electric vehicle (BEV) designed for urban use. It will have an on-the-road price of IDR 445 million (US$ 24,920) in Surabaya, while special colours will cost IDR 455 million. The model is expected to be displayed alongside other Honda hybrid models, including the Prelude, HR-V and StepWGN. Honda will also retain the Brio Satya, one of its best-selling models, which uses an internal combustion engine (ICE).
Mazda showcased three products at the BCA Expo in Ciputra World Surabaya from August 21st to 23rd, 2026: the All New CX-5, the New CX-30 and the 6e Fastback, an electric vehicle.
According to Eurokars Motor Indonesia Chief Operating Officer Ricky Thio, the 6e Fastback will be displayed at GIIAS Surabaya with an on-the-road price of IDR 860 million, while premium colours will cost an additional IDR 4 million.
"East Java has a strategic position in Mazda's growth, where from January to July 2026, its contribution is around 12% of total national sales, making it the second largest after Jabodetabek," Ricky said.
Regarding the 6e Fastback, which won the 2026 World Car Design of the Year, Ricky said the model incorporates Mazda's Kodo and Jinba Ittai design and engineering philosophies. Consumers in East Java will be able to examine how these principles are applied to the vehicle's design and driving experience.
No information has been provided by the other Japanese brands regarding the EVs they will showcase at GIIAS Surabaya. However, as Chinese brands are expected to focus heavily on electric cars, EVs are expected to account for a significant portion of the exhibition.
Gaikindo Secretary I Eddy Sumedi said GIIAS Surabaya will follow GIIAS at ICE BSD City in Tangerang, Banten, which was held from July 30th to August 9th, 2026. After Surabaya, the exhibition will continue to Bandung, Semarang, Makassar and Bali.
"East Java plays a very important role in national vehicle sales, contributing 9.1% this year," Eddy said.
East Java's contribution ranks third after Jabodetabek and West Java. The province has the highest passenger-car population in Indonesia. This indicates continued demand for passenger cars in East Java.
According to Honda Surabaya Center Director Wendy Miharja, retail sales in East Java, Bali and Nusa Tenggara increased by 13.64% from January to July 2026 compared with the same period in 2025.
EV sales accounted for 6.51% of total sales from January to July 2025. During the same period in 2026, the EV share increased to 15.88%. In unit terms, EV sales more than doubled.
In 2025, when EVs accounted for 6.51% of sales, the segment ranked behind pickups, minibuses, 4x4 vehicles, trucks and buses, as well as the low MPV, LCGC, MPV and low SUV segments. In 2026, EVs have moved into second place, behind pickups, minibuses, 4x4 vehicles, trucks and buses.
Japanese manufacturers have generally taken a cautious approach to EVs. Wendy said that before the Super-ONE, Honda had introduced other EVs to Indonesian consumers, including those in East Java, such as the Honda e and Honda e:N1.
"The needs of consumers are our main focus. Honda's EV products will certainly be increased in line with the growth of the ecosystem, especially the readiness of facilities and infrastructure," Wendy said.
Japanese manufacturers have continued to offer products with safety and after-sales service as key considerations, while Chinese EV manufacturers have competed on price and technology features.
