Iran Car Prices July 2026: Iran Khodro and Saipa Models

Prices reflect free-market (open dealer) rates in Tehran, not factory list prices, which are typically substantially lower but rarely available at that price to consumers due to demand and allocation systems. Figures are compiled from daily market reports and may shift day to day; treat this as a snapshot rather than a live feed.
Why domestic car prices keep rising
Iran’s car market has been on an unusually steep climb this year, with sector inflation running above 100% year-on-year as of Khordad 1405 (May/June 2026). Two forces are driving it: the rial’s continued depreciation against the dollar amid wartime economic pressure, and persistent supply constraints tied to sanctions on parts imports and production bottlenecks at both Iran Khodro and Saipa.
Free-market prices, what buyers actually pay through dealer networks, consistently run well above factory list prices for the same models, in some cases nearly double. That gap reflects a combination of limited factory allocation, informal dealer premiums, and the practical reality that most buyers cannot access vehicles at factory pricing without long registration waits.
The cheapest and priciest domestic options
At the budget end, Saipa’s Quick GXL and Saina S remain the cheapest new cars available on the Iranian market, both priced in the IRR12bn to IRR13bn range ($6,600–$6,800). At the top of the domestic (non-imported) range, Iran Khodro’s RiRa sedan has become the most expensive locally produced car on the market, now trading above IRR35bn ($19,000), roughly three times the price of the entry-level Saipa models.
A note on the numbers
These figures convert Tehran free-market toman prices (as reported daily by Iranian outlets) into rial at the standard 10:1 toman-to-rial ratio, then into dollars at the prevailing open-market rate. Because Iran’s currency and car prices are both moving quickly amid the current economic and security situation, treat this table as indicative of mid-July 2026 pricing rather than a live, minute-to-minute reference. For a current quote on any specific model, checking same-day Iranian market reports or a dealer directly remains the more reliable approach.
