SUVs Take Over the Streets of Iran

KhodroCar – the 2nd Tehran international motor show was host of local and foreign automakers and presence of many vehicles in SUV segment was the interesting point of this exhibition. It means that this segment is becoming more popular among people and automakers are focusing on manufacturing different cars from this segment such as full-size, compact and cross over.

In the past decades, people thought that these cars are not fuel efficient and they are just for off-roading, but today, various SUV vehicles produced which have suitable price and fuel efficiency. Variety of products, increased the popularity of this segment in the world and now European and Asian markets have more request for these vehicles alongside America’s market.

One of the main reasons for the popularity of these cars is reasonable price. Right now, Chinese automakers are producing equipped SUVs with reasonable price and this is the reason for increasing SUVs sale in Asia’s market.

The popularity of SUVs was obvious in the 2nd Tehran motor show because most of the exhibitors were showing these kind of cars in their booth. The interesting point of the exhibition was the presence of Chinese, French, Indian and Taiwanese with different SUVs alongside the Iranian automaker.

Companies with more SUVs in the Tehran motor show were BAIC, Mahindra, Changan, Haima, BYD, Citroen, Renault, DS and Toyota. They will improve the SUV’s market in Iran with reasonable price.

However, we have observed the boom in the SUV’s market in Iran and without doubt, Tehran’s streets will see more of these cars in the near future especially after the entrance of Chinese products. The number of these cars will increase and with reasonable price they won’t be unreachable any more.
