Overseas markets
[edit | edit source]The Wuling Starlight 730 was also introduced in Indonesia initially as the Wuling Cortez Darion and later simply as the Wuling Darion in PHEV and EV variants.[5][6] According to SGMW Indonesia, the name Darion stands for Dari Indonesia (lit. 'From Indonesia') to signify that it is engineered, assembled, and first introduced in Indonesia.[7] The Cortez name which has been dropped was a nod to the mechanically unrelated Wuling Cortez.[8]
Indonesia
[edit | edit source]The Cortez Darion was launched in Indonesia on 5 November 2025, with two trim levels: CE and EX, both trim levels are each available with PHEV and EV variants.[6][9]
