Wuling Motors secured 3,290 vehicle purchase orders at the 2026 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show, with its new Aira EV micro car generating 2,238 of those orders. This represented 68% of the company's total sales volume during the 11-day exhibition in Tangerang. Buyers overwhelmingly favored the Long Range variant, which received 2,073 orders compared to 165 for the base Standard Range model.
The Aira EV also proved popular for test drives, accounting for 1,648 of the 2,203 total test drives recorded at Wuling's display. This performance earned the model the show's Most Driven EV Passenger award. The vehicle is assembled at Wuling's manufacturing facility in Cikarang, West Java, and serves as an updated evolution of the company's compact electric platform.
Pricing for the Aira EV starts at 155 million Indonesian rupiah ($9,600) for the Standard Range version, while the Long Range variant retails for 175 million rupiah ($10,800). The Standard Range model offers up to 205 kilometers of driving range with its 16.2-kilowatt-hour battery, while the Long Range version extends this to 301 kilometers with a 25.1-kWh battery.
Beyond the Aira EV, Wuling displayed 21 vehicles at its exhibition booth, including battery electric, plug-in hybrid, and internal combustion models. The Darion EV generated Wuling's second-highest order volume with 517 units, while the Eksion EV recorded 179 orders. The expansion of plug-in hybrid options reflects changing buyer demands in Indonesia where charging infrastructure remains sparse outside urban areas.
