Iran Khodro, which tried to win the love and trust of Russian consumers in the early 2000s, said goodbye to our country in 2009 due to stricter environmental requirements. But the Iranians did not lose hope of returning to the promising market. They repeatedly took part in various exhibitions, each time talking about grand plans to resume sales and even localize production. But this has been going on for about 10 years, but there is still no result.

Representatives of Iran Khodro again made a loud statement at the MIMS-2022 exhibition, where they brought the Tara sedan. So, according to the head of the IKCO testing department, Bekhruz Ahmadzade, the four-door, built on the basis of the Peugeot 301, will enter the Russian market in early 2023. The Iranians say the process of certification of new items is already underway, although the company has not yet filed an application, according to Russian Automobile.

Whatever the case, now is a good time to enter the impoverished Russian market – and especially with a car of this class. The B segment is struggling: Kia Rio and Hyundai Solaris are scarce, they charge a lot of money for LADA Vesta (up to 3 million rubles), and the Chinese, in whom great hopes are pinned, concentrate on intersections. What should taxi drivers drive? Iran Khodro Tara could come in very handy.
