[11] At the end of 2017, Wuling Motors quickly climbed into the top-10 car brand in Indonesia by production and sales. [12]
On February 9, 2018, the company launched the Cortez, a rebadged Baojun 730. [13] On November 7, 2018, Wuling launched the Formo as a commercial variant of the Confero. [14] At the end of 2018, Wuling missed the targeted vehicle sales of 30,000 units, instead recorded 17,002 units for the wholesales figure and 15,162 units for the retail sales figure. [15]
