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?

    1. a base corolla in the us is the LE model, they don’t even sell the L model anymore (as far as I know). So base models everywhere are not the same.

    2. if you remove all the safety sense tech (which is standard here), airbags, cheaper fabric more plastic, eliminate the emissions system, the d4s and high-pressure fuel system, and the power mirrors and driver seats, now that really lower a lot of the cost.

    So seeing that 21k corolla in the us/euro market can defiantly be cut to around 15k if we get rid of the emissions and tech in it.
