The rural car (Indonesian: mobil pedesaan), also known as the village car (mobil desa), is a grouping of cars commonly found in Indonesia.

The rural car appeared after the second reshuffle of the Joko Widodo's cabinet in July 2016. The reshuffle replaced by the Minister of Industry to Airlangga Hartarto where President Jokowi gave the mandate to develop the Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) project and rural cars.[1]

This program was initiated by the Ministry of Industry together with the Indonesian Automotive Institute (IOI).[2] The fixed price for a rural car is around Rp60–80 million, cheaper than Kendaraan Bermotor Roda Empat Hemat Energi dan Harga Terjangkau (also called KBH2 or LCGC).[3] Rural cars can only be used on off-road roads and village roads outside the toll road.[4]

These rural vehicles are designed to facilitate community activities in the area with their function as a means of transporting agricultural and plantation products.[5]
