Production volume in Indonesia in 2003 - 51,815 passenger vehicles and 19,480 pick-ups. In 1975 PT Indohero launched the assembly and subsequent production of Suzuki vehicles. A mer­ger of PT Indohero and PT Indomobil in 1976 resulted in the formation of the Indomobil Group, a cor­poration which acquired PT Ismac (Nissan producer) in 1987 and PT National (Mazda producer) in 1991. In that same year the PT Indomobil Suzuki joint venture was established (49% owned by Su­zuki and 51% belonging to Indomobil). In November 2002 Suzuki increased its share in the compa­ny to 90%. Since 2002 the Aerio hatchback has been part of the product line, fitted with a 1.5-liter 110 hp power plant (=Japanese Aerio from 2001). In 2003 the old Baleno Mask was replaced by the new Baleno Next-G sedan, equipped with a 1.5-liter 110 hp unit based on the Japanese Aerio se­dan made in 2001. As of 1981 Indonesia is also the site of construction on the Katana 4x4 station wagon (Spanish Samurai of the years 1985-2003), fitted with a 1.0-liter 50 engine. Since 1998 the program has also featured the Karimun minivan (=Wagon R Wide 1997-99) with a 1.0-liter 55 hp unit. In 2001 old Escudo and Sidekick models were replaced by the new Escudo 4x2/4x4 SUV, ava­ilable with a 1.6-liter 107 hp or 2.0-liter 128 hp (=Grand Vitara) power plant. This model is expor­ted to Thailand as the Grand Vitara. In 2003 the 7-seater Grand Escudo XL-7 SUV was introduced with a 2.5-liter 160 hp V6 engine (=Grand Vitara XL7). Since 1991 the original 6 /7-seater Carry Futura minivan has been issued in Real Van and Grand Real Van versions, equipped with 1.5-liter 77 hp units. In 2002 the 9-seater Carry Personal Van was re-launched, available with a 1.0-liter 55 hp en­gine. Pick-ups are also built on the basis of the Carry and Carry Futura. In August 2004 the original APV model was released with a 1.5-liter 91 hp or 1.6-liter 92 hp power plant as an 8-seater minivan or Carry pick-up version.
