was carried out using an accidental sampling technique in determining the sample size. There were 203 questionnaires
collected. The data analysis method used is Structural Equation Modeling. The research results show that there is a
significant influence of product innovation on purchasing decisions. Product innovation variables and purchasing
decisions also significantly influence customer loyalty. Purchasing decisions significantly mediate the influence of
product innovation on customer loyalty. Innovation must continue to be carried out to maintain the loyalty of Toyota
Calya car users in the cities of Bogor and Bekasi.
1. Introduction
Increasingly fierce competition in the business world requires every company to design and implement
various appropriate strategies (Istiyanto, Hendratmoko, & Mutmainah, 2015). The environmental situation is
dynamic and continues to develop, so it is not enough for companies to maintain an attitude of attracting
customers or expanding new businesses. The challenge faced is maintaining customer loyalty (Syafrizal,
Makmur, & Seprini, 2017).

Based on the data collected, it shows that Toyota Calya car sales are still unable to
compete with other products. In Table 1 the author shows a comparison of sales of Calya,
Avanza and Daihatsu Sigra cars from May 2019 to April 2020.
Table 1 also shows that sales of Toyota Calya cars experienced an increase in August
and September 2019, but from November 2019 to April 2020 they continued to decline. On
average, when compared with other brands, Toyota Calya sales are lower than Avanza car
sales. Average Toyota Calya sales are slightly above Daihatsu Sigra sales, but if you look at
the data for the last three months, Daihatsu Sigra sales continue to increase and the number
of sales each month is far above Toyota Cayla sales. In April 2020, car sales in general fell
drastically, this was due to Covid 19 which had reduced people's purchasing power. However,
in the midst of the Covid 19 pandemic, sales of the Daihatsu Sigra were much higher
compared to the Toyota Calya which was only able to sell 62 units, while the Daihatsu Sigra
only sold 479 units.
Product development through innovation carried out by the company can create a
competitive advantage and will attract new customers, while existing customers will remain
(Sumarsih, 2019). Purchasing decisions are consumer actions in an effort to fulfill desires
and needs which is the process of determining attitudes or purchases towards goods and
services. To understand consumer behavior in purchasing requires a process, because it
changes every time (Kadir, Syarifuddin, Rahman, & Andini, 2018). In global competition,
automotive companies must continue to innovate because technology is rapidly developing
in addition to being able to continue to compete with competitors and to meet consumer
needs and tastes (Tandia & Iriani, 2018). Innovation is something that is absolute to achieve
sustainable excellence (Siregar, Suryana, Ahman, & Senen, 2019). Every company has an
interest in the best performance that can be produced by the series of systems that apply
within the organization (Syamsuri & Siregar, 2018; Siregar & Lubis, 2017). Many products
have similar shapes, uses and other features, making it difficult for consumers to differentiate
between these products. Continue product innovation

carried out by car manufacturers to attract consumers' attention and of course so that consumers
are willing to buy the products they produce (Tumembouw, Mandey, & Loindong, 2019).
Based on the previous description, the research questions in this study are:
1. Does product innovation have a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions?
2. Does product innovation have a positive and significant effect on loyalty?
3. Do purchasing decisions have a positive and significant effect on loyalty?
4. Do purchasing decisions mediate the effect of product innovation on loyalty?
customer?
Customer Loyalty
Literally loyal can mean loyal, while loyalty can be interpreted as loyalty. Customer loyalty is
a customer's commitment to a brand, store or supplier, based on a very positive attitude and
reflected in consistent repeat purchases (Bulan, 2016). Customer loyalty has an important role
in a company, retaining them means improving performance and maintaining company survival.
This is one of the reasons companies maintain their customers (Saputri, 2019).
The concept of loyal behavior, the emphasis is on repeat purchase behavior of products that
have previously been purchased by customers (Junaedi, 2015). To maintain business continuity,
customer loyalty is very important for companies. Loyal or loyal customers are customers who
are very satisfied with the choice of certain products and services from the company, so they
have the enthusiasm to say positive things about these products and the services they receive
to other people (Tugiso, Haryono, & Minarsih, 2016) .
Buying decision
Purchasing can be interpreted as the act of obtaining goods and services through exchange,
which is intended for one's own use or for resale (Khairiyah & Yunita, 2018). Consumers who
want to make a purchase will go through a process called a purchasing decision before deciding
to buy a product (Tandia & Iriani, 2018). According to Kotler and Armstrong (in Tandia & Iriani,
2018) purchasing decisions mean buying the most preferred brand, but two factors can be
between the intention to purchase and making the purchasing decision. The purchasing decision
making process itself can go through stages such as recognizing needs, information search,
evaluation, alternatives, purchasing decisions, and post-purchase consumer behavior, but not
always all of these stages are passed or carried out by consumers as a whole (Setiadi 2013 in
Kadir et al. , 2018).
Product Innovation
Product innovation is any item or product that has been developed or modified which is
considered new (Tandia & Iriani, 2018). Product innovation is related to the development of a
product or something new that is discovered, this is done so that consumers do not get bored
with the old products produced (Aryoni, Eildine, & Muniroh, 2019).
Innovations carried out on products by companies are considered to eliminate feelings
consumer boredom or boredom regarding product choices by consumers who tend to lack
diversity and lack uniqueness (Al Rasyid & Tri Indah, 2015). With innovation carried out by
industry or companies, it will provide added value to the products they have so that consumer
expectations will be met. One of the benefits of innovation aims to beautify products so that they
are more attractive to consumers (Sumarsih, 2019).

Hypothesis Development
Product Innovation and Purchasing Decisions
Soleha & S, (2019) conducted a research on product innovation regarding Honda Mobilio
car purchasing decisions. Their research findings found that there was a positive and significant
influence between product innovation and purchasing decisions. This shows that with product
innovation it will be a consideration in deciding to buy. This is also strengthened by the findings of
research conducted by (Abdjul, Soegoto, & Soepeno, 2018) showing that product innovation has
a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions. To increase customer decisions and
loyalty, product innovation must continue to be carried out continuously.

In this research, there are three research variables, namely product innovation, purchasing
decisions and customer loyalty. The measurements of each variable can be seen in Table 2.

3.1. Normality
Test One of the requirements that is met in the data analysis method using Structural Equation
Modeling is that the data must be normally distributed. According to Schumacker & Lomax, (2010)
recommends a cr value of <± 2.58 and the skewness and kurtosis values of all indicators are below
<2.58 (Schumacker & Lomax, 2010).

4. Discussion
The research results show that consumer loyalty of Toyota car users is influenced by
innovation and purchasing decisions. This means that product innovation will make customers
feel interested in making a purchase, and from this purchasing decision, customer loyalty will
be formed for the Toyota Calya car in the cities of Bogor and Bekasi. Product innovation is
closely related to the attraction of customers to buy the product. Companies that are able to
modify products to provide added value in terms of model, design and product features can
influence consumer decisions in making purchases. Purchasing decisions will provide
consumers with product usage experiences. If customers have a positive response to their
purchases, this will form loyalty to the product.
The first hypothesis test was carried out and it was found that there was a positive and
significant influence between product innovation on purchasing decisions for Toyota Calya
brand cars in the cities of Bogor and Bekasi. The finding of the influence of product innovation
on purchasing decisions is strengthened by findings made by (Tandia & Iriani, 2018) that
product innovation significantly influences purchasing decisions. The results of research
conducted by Al Rasyid & Tri Indah (2018) show that product innovation is one of the factors
that influences consumers in making purchasing decisions. In other words, before buying a
product, consumers will pay attention to the innovation of the product. This will attract
consumers to make purchases.
The results of testing the second hypothesis also show that the influence of product
innovation on consumer loyalty is positive and significant. This means product innovation
well, then this will make consumers increasingly increase their loyalty to Toyota Calya brand
products in Bogor and Bekasi Regencies. These research findings are relevant to research
conducted by (Syafrizal et al., 2017) which found that there is a link between product innovation
and customer loyalty. This is also strengthened by research conducted by (Aryoni et al., 2019)
which found that consumer loyalty is influenced by product innovation. Thus, the findings of
this research show that product innovation is very important to maintain consumer loyalty.
Furthermore, testing the third hypothesis also proves that purchasing decisions influence
customer loyalty. This means that consumers who purchase Toyota Calya brand cars in the
cities of Bogor and Bekasi will influence their loyalty as customers.

5.2. Suggestion
Customer loyalty is very important for the company. Loyal customers will certainly maintain the sales performance
of Toyota Calya cars in the cities of Bogor and Bekasi, therefore innovation must continue to be carried out in order
to maintain the loyalty of Toyota Calya car users.
