In Indonesia, family cars remain the best-selling and sought-after type of car. According to Gaikindo, the Association of Indonesia Automotive Industries, 6 of the 10 best-selling cars between January and December 2024 are family cars.
The top 3 spots are held by family cars, i.e., the Toyota Kijang Innova (Reborn and Zenix), Toyota Avanza, and Daihatsu Sigra. The sales data shows that family cars remain a top choice among Indonesian people.
Family cars are a type of car designed for daily use by a family, seating up to 7 passengers. In the past, 7-seater family cars were exclusively of MPV class, but today, many of them are SUVs.
Compared to other types of cars, family cars provide more advantages in terms of functionality. For example, family cars offer more seating capacity, a more reliable engine, and better fuel economy.

A car for the masses, the Toyota Avanza is renowned for its reliability and fuel efficiency. It’s available in a 1,300 cc or 1,500 cc engine capacity that can produce up to 97 hp and 105 hp, respectively.
Based on a test performed by an independent media outlet, the 1,500-cc Avanza recorded fuel consumption of 15 km/liter for urban driving and 18 km/liter for extra-urban driving.
Classified as a low MPV, the Avanza is a 7-seater car that still provides a relatively spacious interior. Some of the features you can enjoy include an audio system with a touchscreen head unit and Bluetooth connectivity.
A sister car to the Toyota Avanza, the Daihatsu Xenia can also be a great choice for your Eid homecoming trip. This family car also offers a 1,300 cc or 1,500 cc engine capacity, just like the Avanza. Daihatsu claims that the car can travel 29 km per liter of fuel consumed.
An independent media outlet verified the claim when the car was driven at a constant speed of 60 km/h. At the speed of 100 kph, the fuel consumption was recorded at 17 or 18 km/l.
The car is equipped with a range of features, such as cruise control, an audio system with a touchscreen head unit, and Bluetooth connectivity.

When first launched in 2017, Mitsubishi Xpander shook up the low MPV market thanks to its futuristic design and smooth suspension.
Even to this day, the car remains one of the most comfortable cars in its class. Its 1,499-cc engine capacity can produce up to 103 hp.
Despite its impressive power, the Xpander has good fuel economy. An independent media outlet performed a test and found out that the car consumed 15 km/l in an urban setting and 18 km/l in an extra-urban setting.
The Xpander also offers a range of the latest features, such as cruise control, Bluetooth connectivity, an audio system with a touchscreen head unit, and Voice Command.
Classified as a low SUV, the Daihatsu Terios is a great option for RWD car enthusiasts. The 7-seater SUV also has the advantage of a relatively high ground clearance of 220 mm.
This clearance is useful when you have to drive on uneven roads. With a 1,496-cc engine, the car can provide up to 103 hp. Despite this, the fuel consumption can be considered low, at 14 km/l for urban driving and 16 km/l for extra-urban driving.

Of all the cars on this list, the Toyota Innova is the most spacious, luxurious, and powerful. The family car is available in two models, i.e., Innova Reborn and Zenix.
The Innova Reborn is powered by a 1,998-cc engine that can produce up to 137 hp, while the Zenix’s 1,987-cc engine can produce up to 172 hp.
Its fuel economy might not be as good as that of MPVs such as the Avanza, Xenia, and Xpander. However, in terms of power, comfort, and features, the Innova is clearly a cut above the rest.
In addition, with bigger dimensions, the Innova Reborn and Zenix provide the most spacious interiors compared to the other cars on this list.
