Market Responds to Currency Pressures
Following a brief period of stability, Iran’s domestic car market has resumed an upward price trajectory. While trading activity remains subdued, industry reports indicate that recent currency market fluctuations have prompted sellers to list vehicles at higher rates. Analysts observe that despite these price adjustments, consumer purchasing motivation remains low due to the prevailing market stagnation.
Domestic Models See Notable Adjustments
Key Iranian-manufactured vehicles have experienced significant price increases. The Pride 151 SE model saw its price rise by approximately 10 million tomans, now trading around 520 million tomans. The Atlas Automatic E+ registered a more substantial increase of 20 million tomans, reaching a price point of about 1.07 billion tomans. Similarly, the Peugeot 207 Automatic TU5P saw a comparable adjustment, now positioned at approximately 1.28 billion tomans.
Imported and Assembled Vehicles Exhibit Volatility
The segment for imported and assembled vehicles demonstrated even more pronounced price movements. The MG4 EV increased by 50 million tomans, reaching 3.35 billion tomans. The Opel Corsa recorded a similar 50-million-toman rise, trading in the range of 2.95 billion tomans. The Geely Azkara Hybrid experienced a significant jump of 100 million tomans, bringing its price to around 3.1 billion tomans. Most notably, the BMW iX1 saw a substantial increase of 200 million tomans within a 24-hour period, with its price now set at 7 billion tomans.
Context and Outlook
These market movements are viewed within the broader context of international economic pressures. The government continues to monitor the situation closely, with a focus on understanding the interplay between global currency markets and domestic pricing structures. The resilience of the national industrial base remains a key focus as these economic dynamics evolve.
