Honda is set to relocate a factory from India to Indonesia, although it has not been disclosed as to when this will occur.
CNN Indonesia reports that the country’s minister of industry, Agus Gumiwang, revealed these plans following a meeting with Honda principals during a visit to Japan last week.
Agus said that that Honda has pledged a strong commitment to investing in Indonesia. “Honda is committed to increasing investment until 2024 of around 5.2 trillion rupiah (RM1.49 billion), including the development of new models being carried out in Indonesia,” he said. He added that the automaker is planning to build a new electrified model in the republic, but its identity was not revealed, nor was it disclosed if it would be a hybrid.

Following its world debut in Thailand last November, the Honda City Hatchback has now been launched in Indonesia, replacing the third-generation Jazz that was previously offered there. Interestingly enough, the archipelagic country is welcoming the hatchback version of the latest City first, before the sedan that is already available to us in Malaysia.
For the Indonesian market, the City Hatchback comes in a sole RS trim level, although customers will get to choose between a six-speed manual (yes, you read right) and a CVT, both mated to the same engine.
Just like our market, that engine is not the 1.0 litre VTEC Turbo three-cylinder petrol unit offered in Thailand. Instead, it’s a 1.5 litre DOHC i-VTEC naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine that makes 121 PS at 6,600 rpm and 145 Nm of torque, which Honda Prospect Motor (HPM) – the local distributor there – says is the most powerful in its class.
