GIIAS Bandung 2026 attracts global brands and vehicle financing targets

The GIIAS Bandung 2026 automotive exhibition, held from September 9–13 at the Sudirman Grand Ballroom, is attracting significant interest from automotive enthusiasts in West Java. The event features 19 global vehicle brands, including five new participants. A major highlight of the exhibition is the test drive and test ride program, which offers visitors the opportunity to experience 42 different vehicles, comprising 37 cars and 5 motorcycles, on a 3.2 km track and a dedicated obstacle course.

In conjunction with the exhibition, financing companies Astra Credit Companies (ACC) and Toyota Astra Financial (TAF) have set a target to finance 500 vehicle units, with an estimated value of approximately Rp170 billion. This target is driven by the growing automotive market in Bandung, which contributes roughly 15 percent to the national market according to Gaikindo data. Financing for four-wheeled vehicles saw a growth of about 15 percent between 2025 and the first half of 2026, with credit schemes accounting for approximately 67 percent of car purchases.
