The artificial deficit created since March by sanctions in the domestic market, like any “currency”, has two sides: on the one hand, record prices and profits on every transaction, on the other hand, the liberation of the “place under the sun “. ”, for which they have been fighting for years. Every car brand’s annual conference began with proud words about the fractions of a percentage that it was possible to win back from competitors with incredible marketing efforts, read, infusions. On February 24, 2022, all these investments were suddenly written off, the Russian car market lost its attractiveness, and manufacturers began to abandon it one by one. Sad, sad, somehow offensive, but a holy place is never empty.
Others will come, and the return – 140,000,000 potential buyers are extremely hard to find – will cost many times more. Ask Opel. It took the Russian economy only half a year to confirm in practice: the “first sign” of new macroeconomic relations broke through in the information space. The Iranian news agency Fars, citing the head of the Association of Parts Manufacturers, reported that a memorandum had been signed between Iran and Russia on the export of cars worth $300,000,000. Considering the average cost of Iranian cars – and these are exceptionally budget models by our standards – we’re talking tens of thousands of cars.
This news has another extremely positive connotation: Iranian cars are archaic, mostly atmospheric, with simple suspension and unpretentious equipment, therefore they are resourceful and reliable. The average cost in Iran is about half a million rubles, so I want to believe that the deal will close the most painful and difficult niche of budget cars in the domestic market, which costs less than a million rubles. The part of the market that was actually completely destroyed. It makes no sense to list brands and models at the moment, there are no official details of the agreement yet, but several models from the Iranian range will certainly appeal to Russian buyers.
Firstly, this is the first Iranian crossover just presented – Iran Khodro Rira, built on the Peugeot 2008 platform, front-wheel drive and equipped with two 1.6-liter gasoline engines with a capacity of 113 horsepower. Of. and 168 litres. Of. in turbo version. The second is Saipa Shahin, built on the time-honored Toyota platform and equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with 112 hp and manual transmission. The third option is the most interesting: Iran Khodro Tara is a sedan, a converted Citroёn C-Elysse, which can easily compete with Lada Vesta.
