The Iranian Saipa – the one that was supposed to be launched in Russia on June 1, but failed to solve all the problems in time – introduced a new Sahand model to the home market. The budget four-door, an upgraded version of the Saina sedan, will go on sale in its home country next year, and then it may reach us.

Unfortunately, Saipa Sahand did not become a technological breakthrough for the Iranian brand. The developers took the Saina sedan, which, in turn, is based on the Kia Pride of the late 1980s, as a basis and packaged it only in a more beautiful package. The novelty is distinguished by different body panels, bumper design and different optics. In the cabin you will find a modified “tidy” and a more modern multimedia complex.

As for the power units, Saipa Sahand was equipped with a 1.5-liter petrol engine with 90 hp. with., combined with which both a five-speed “mechanics” and a variator work. Drive – of course, front. The Iranians do not go into other technical details – probably precisely because there are simply no design differences between Sahand and Saina.

As mentioned earlier, sales of new items in Iran will begin in 2024. It is possible that the sedan will come to Russia over time, because Saipa has big plans for our market. True, so far she has not been particularly successful in selling them: it was assumed that the brand would enter the domestic market in early June, but the delivery of cars was delayed. And then came the LADA Vesta NG, which probably made the distributor nervous and think again.
