Importing cars from Russia! / Are Russian cars quality?
According to Tejarat News, in the past few days, news about the import of cars from Russia was published in cyberspace.
Why Russia?
Why did Iran choose Russia to import cars?
Morteza Mostafavi, an automotive expert, told Tejarat News: “The accuracy of this news has not been determined yet.” But if this news is true, the story is political. Iran’s relations with Russia are currently better than those of the West. On the other hand, due to the import vacuum, Iran may have chosen Russia to import cars. Importing cars from Russia may be easier in terms of financial exchanges and terms of cooperation.
He continued: “Russian car manufacturers and countries like Russia whose governments are present in industry and a significant part of their economy is opaque.” Political relations in these countries are also crucial in the industry. As a result, the Russian car industry, like the Iranian car industry, has suffered.
Babak Sadraei, an automotive expert, also told Tejarat News: “If cars are to be imported from Russia, it is better to ban imports.” Cars must be imported that are effective. That is, they have high technology and good quality.
Quality level of Russian cars
“Russian cars, like the Lada, have the technology of decades ago,” he said. These cars are not comparable in quality to European cars. Of course, these cars are better than Iranian cars. But their import to the country will not be effective.

Mostafavi also said: “The structure of the Russian car industry is like that of Iran and it only creates diversity in the Iranian market.” But they are not qualitatively comparable to European cars.
