Funding, Import Procedures to Delay Entry of Foreign Sedans

The Iranian car market is rife with speculations about the brands and models approved for import, but the ground reality is that the import of 100,000 sedans touted by officials will not materialize in the current Iranian year (ending March 20, 2023).
A few car import companies had claimed that orders have been registered and Italian, Japanese, South Korean and Chinese brands are going to enter Iran soon (while others disputed them). Since then, the names of Fiat’s 500 and Tipo, Hyundai’s Elantra, Kona and i10, Dongfeng’s Aeolus and three Changan models have been circulating in the media as prospective imports, Donyaye Khodro reported.
However, SAIPA, a major automaker, announced that it will import three Changan models, namely CS35 Plus, CS55 Plus and UNI-T.
