Mobil SUV: Jenis, Keunggulan, dan Rekomendasi Terbaik 2025

In recent years, SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle) cars have increasingly dominated the automotive market in Indonesia. With their bold design, spacious cabins, and ability to handle various terrains, these vehicles have become popular across many groups. Not only are they visually impressive, but SUVs are also known for being comfortable on long trips and durable on rough roads.

Discussing their popularity, GAIKINDO (Association of Indonesian Automotive Industries) recorded that the medium SUV segment attracted the highest interest throughout 2024, with the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro leading the market in total sales, surpassing its competitors. Entering the first quarter of 2025, Chery recorded wholesale sales of 4,399 units. Among those, the Chery J6 SUV contributed 987 units as of March. This proves that Indonesian consumers are increasingly choosing SUVs as their primary daily vehicle, whether for city mobility or family holidays.

With various SUV types on the market, how can you determine which model suits your needs? This article will help you better understand SUVs, from their basic concepts and available types to their advantages and Chery’s best SUV recommendations that suit your lifestyle.

What is an SUV?

An SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle) is a type of car designed to combine road-driving comfort with the ability to tackle tough terrains. These vehicles typically have a taller stance than sedans, a sturdy body, and a spacious cabin—making them ideal for carrying passengers and luggage.

SUVs usually come with rear-wheel drive (RWD), front-wheel drive (FWD), or even all-wheel drive (AWD) / four-wheel drive (4WD) systems, enabling them to handle diverse road conditions, from smooth asphalt to rocky or muddy tracks. Their high ground clearance is also a key advantage, minimizing the risk of scraping the underside of the vehicle.

Compared to other car types like sedans or hatchbacks, SUVs stand out for their flexibility. Sedans tend to be lower and better suited for urban use, while hatchbacks are compact but limited in cabin and trunk capacity. On the other hand, SUVs offer a higher seating position, better visibility, and generally more advanced safety features.

Although initially known as off-road vehicles, SUVs have evolved into stylish, comfortable, and high-tech family cars. Many manufacturers now offer crossover SUVs that blend SUV styling with passenger car platforms for a smoother and more efficient driving experience.

Types of SUVs

The differences between SUV types are typically based on body size, passenger capacity, features, and off-road capabilities. Here are some common SUV categories in Indonesia:

1. Compact SUV

Compact SUVs are ideal for urban users looking for slimmer-sized SUVs to navigate narrow streets. These vehicles offer a mix of fuel efficiency, comfort, and maneuverability. Examples include the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro, Chery Omoda 5, and its upgraded version, Omoda 5 GT.

2. Mid-Size SUV

Mid-size SUVs are among the most popular segments, comfortably seating up to seven passengers and delivering solid performance for long trips or casual drives. In this segment, Chery offers the Tiggo 8 Pro, featuring luxurious soundproof interiors, a panoramic sunroof, a high-performance 2.0L TGDI engine, spacious cabins, and modern exterior design.

3. Full-Size SUV

If mid-size isn’t enough, full-size SUVs offer maximum space, engine power, and comfort. These models are popular among large families or users needing significant cargo capacity. One standout from Chery is the Chery Tiggo 8 CSH, a 7-seater SUV powered by Chery Super Hybrid technology. It features a 1.5L turbo gasoline engine and a hybrid system that enables up to 90 km in full electric mode.

4. Luxury SUV

Luxury SUVs focus on premium design, comfort, and high-tech features. Vehicles in this class typically feature elegant looks and cabins with premium materials. The Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max represents Chery’s luxury SUV with a modern exterior, roomy interior, and advanced features such as complete safety systems and both FWD and AWD options. Powered by a strong engine and a 230 mm ground clearance, this variant excels in both appearance and capability.

5. Off-Road SUV

Designed for adventure seekers, off-road SUVs are built to handle rocky, muddy, or sandy terrain. Chery introduces the J6, part of the Omoda series—a boxy-styled electric vehicle with a futuristic touch, capable of tackling extreme roads. Equipped with an AWD system and available in iWD (Intelligent Wheel Drive) or RWD variants, the J6 offers up to 426 km of range, making it perfect for eco-conscious off-road enthusiasts.

6. Crossover SUV (CUV)

Crossover SUVs combine passenger car comfort with SUV styling and durability. Ideal for city driving with added flexibility, Chery offers two models in this segment:

Chery Omoda E5 is a 5-seater electric SUV featuring a futuristic design and advanced features like a 24.6-inch display, ADAS system, and fast charging. With a 61 kWh battery, it can travel up to 430 km on a single charge.

Chery Tiggo Cross is a crossover SUV with a modern design, spacious cabin for five, and a high yet comfortable driving position. It combines the best of SUVs and crossovers for daily commutes or inter-city travel.

Advantages of SUVs

SUVs offer several practical benefits, making them a favorite among Indonesian consumers. From comfort to performance, here are some key reasons why SUVs are in demand:

1. Comfort and Safety

Modern SUVs are designed for maximum driving comfort. With softer suspension, higher seating positions, and good cabin insulation, rides feel smoother. Additionally, SUVs often come equipped with advanced safety features such as dual airbags, ABS brakes, stability control, and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) for optimal protection.

2. Performance and Durability

SUVs are known for their powerful engines and rugged build, capable of performing well on highways and rough terrains. Their wide range is supported by high ground clearance and AWD or 4WD systems in select models. This makes them ideal for long-distance travel or areas with challenging road conditions.

3. Spacious Cabin

Thanks to their larger body dimensions, SUVs offer generous cabin space. They can typically accommodate 5 to 7 passengers with flexible luggage space. Rear seat folding features also allow for transporting larger items without compromising comfort.

4. Technology and Design

Today’s SUVs are not just tough but also stylish. Aerodynamic and modern exterior designs are common, while interiors come equipped with the latest technologies like panoramic sunroofs, touchscreen infotainment systems, smartphone connectivity, and wireless charging. These elements make driving more enjoyable and upscale.

5. Higher Resale Value

SUVs generally maintain a more stable resale value compared to other car types, especially when well-maintained and from trusted brands. This makes them a valuable consideration for long-term investments.

Best SUV Recommendations for 2025

Seeing the high enthusiasm of Indonesian consumers for SUV-type vehicles, Chery has launched a diverse lineup under two main series: Tiggo and Omoda. The Tiggo series was first introduced in Indonesia in 2007 and has continued to evolve to meet market needs. Meanwhile, Omoda is a newer series that made its debut in 2023.

In general, SUVs excel in terms of range and versatility, while MPVs are more efficient and practical for daily family use.

Looking at the automotive market trend in Indonesia through 2025, it's clear that SUVs have become a favorite. This is due to their blend of comfort, strong performance, modern design, and spacious interiors. These vehicles are ideal for daily use, long-distance travel, or tackling challenging roads.
