The i2C, showcased at PT TMI's GIIAS booth, embodies Indonesia's commitment to innovation and its vision for future mobility. The vehicle's design, a collaboration between PT TMI and Italy's renowned Italdesign, blends local identity with international standards.
The i2C's exterior incorporates iconic elements, including the Garuda, a mythical bird prominent in Champa sculpture, often depicted with a lion's head, a bird's beak, human hands, a human torso, and animal feet, alongside intricate batik patterns.
The vehicle boasts a bold exterior with angular lines. While the interior design remains under wraps, it will feature 3 rows of seats, accommodating 7 passengers.

PT TMI reports a CLTC range of 617 km, powered by an 83.4 kWh NMC battery. Equipped with a single rear-mounted electric motor generating 204 hp and 310 Nm of torque (comparable to the BYD Atto 3), this large SUV accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 9.1 seconds, reaching a top speed of 200 km/h. Maximum charging capacity is 150 kW DC and 11 kW AC.
The i2C's presence at GIIAS 2025 aimed to gather public feedback and demonstrate PT TMI's dedication to independence, innovation, and creativity. The company plans to introduce the completed version at next year's auto show following development and design assessment. Mass production is slated for late 2027 or early 2028, with a target price below 30,700 USD.

Components such as mirrors and lights have been adapted for local production.
"All design aspects consider supply and supply chains to ensure production costs remain within reasonable limits," stated Harsusantu, President and CEO of PT TMI.
The company will produce 40 to 50 prototypes for crash testing and production feasibility, supported by digital simulations similar to those used in the aerospace industry. With affordability as a key objective, the i2C is designed as a modern vehicle for everyone, equipped with sensor and AI features, including real-time vehicle monitoring.
