We’ll also provide insights into the structure of the event, ticket prices, and other highlights that make this auto show a must-attend.
Ford’s Off-Road Test Drive Experience at GJAW 2025
One of the most exciting features of GJAW 2025 is Ford RMA Indonesia’s decision to introduce an off-road test drive area in Pagedangan. This move is designed to give visitors a more immersive and thrilling experience when testing Ford’s latest models. According to Irwan Nurfiandy, Head of Marketing RMA Indonesia, the test drive area will allow participants to experience the performance of Ford’s rugged vehicles, including the Everest, Ranger, and Ranger Raptor, in real-world conditions.
The location was chosen specifically because of its challenging terrain, which is ideal for testing the capabilities of Ford’s off-road vehicles. The event will be conducted in collaboration with Jejelogy, a well-known off-road specialist, ensuring that participants get a professional and safe experience.
This initiative sets Ford apart from other manufacturers who typically offer only standard test drives within the exhibition halls. By providing an off-road test drive, Ford is not only showcasing its vehicles’ durability but also offering a unique opportunity for potential buyers to see how these cars perform in difficult conditions.
