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?

    Speed limit in Indonesia is 100 kmh, and unless you are on toll roads, the motorcycles won’t let you go higher than 50 kph.

      This is kinda perfect for Toyota’s low cost version of the Yaris van. Buyers especially won’t pay for the extra horsepower if they can’t use it.

        Yup, and you don’t need the advanced safety system since you don’t go very fast, and this reduces the cost too.

      Exactly like they said. Cars are designed for their area. My car has tons more power than Euro or Asian models because the roads are wide and distances far.
