The dream of importing a quality and economical car

Online Economy – Parham Karimi; The country’s automobile industry has always been associated with many problems, and Fatemi Amin, the Minister of Peace of the 13th government, had made many promises about solving these problems from the very beginning. Promises such as the regulation of the car market, most of which revolved around the middle and low-income strata of the society, and the issue of the production and import of economic cars was brought to the fore more than before. Especially with the approval of the law Car import The emphasis of the minister and his deputies has always been on the import of economic cars.

Approval of bylaws Car import It was delayed by two months, and its release added to the confusion surrounding car imports. Clauses such as the ceiling of 20,000 euros for the price of imported cars and the transfer of technology through imports brought a lot of criticism, and besides that, the statements of the officials of the Ministry of Privacy added to the severity of these criticisms.

One of these comments claims import and production Economy cars It is to replace cars like Tiba, and the car import regulation also shows that the Ministry of Safety has set its main goal of liberalizing imports to import and produce so-called economic cars in the country.

But this year is here, considering the price of about 200 million of cars such as Tiba or Quick, which have the lowest price among domestically produced cars, is it possible to replace these cars with imported cars?

The first car whose old versions are sold in the country is the Hyundai Accent, the 2017 assembly model of this car costs up to one billion tomans.

The 2022 model of this car is available from 9,000 to 11,000 dollars depending on the option level, with a 1.6-liter engine and a fuel consumption of 5 liters per 100 kilometers, it can produce 120 horsepower.

In any case, considering the price of 28 thousand tomans, this car in the country is priced from 250 million to 310 million tomans, without taking into account the cost of transportation, tariffs and customs duties, the importer’s profit, as well as the possible competition in the commodity exchange. If we add 20% to the base price, taking into account other costs, we reach a price of around 310 to 370 million Tomans. Of course, we should pay attention to the limited supply of imported cars, we should probably see more price increases.

Nissan Versa, with a price of 10,000 to 11,000 dollars and specifications similar to Hyundai Accent, is another car that can be considered by importers of economic cars. The basic price of this car seems to be 250 million to 310 million, and in the best case, the final price of about 400 million can be offered.

It seems that this list continues with subcompact cars and most of the economy cars are in this category. Kia is a well-known car brand and one of the most economical cars that you can find even in the American car market.

Kia Rio is the smallest car in the Kia production line, and it has the exact same specifications as the Hyundai Accent and is offered at a price of 12 to 14 thousand dollars. Considering other costs, the price of this car should be around 450 million.

Toyota is the largest automobile company in the world and is known for producing affordable, reliable and safe cars. Toyota Yaris with a 1.5-liter engine and 106-horse power along with a fuel consumption of less than 5 liters can be a good option that will be available in the country at a price of about 600 million tomans.

All the mentioned cars are only examples of cars that have the lowest price and the highest quality that can meet the domestic needs, and in any case, these cars will cost at least 300 million tomans in the country, and this means that replacing a car Like Tiba, it is impossible unless the Ministry of Security and importers go towards cheaper cars that do not pass the country’s quality standards and are no different from low-quality domestic cars.

One of these cars that you have heard a lot about recently is the Renault Kwid, but you should note that the Brazilian version of this car is being considered by the officials of the Ministry of Security. A car that, according to many experts, cannot pass domestic standards and is practically no different from cars like Tiba and Pride. In this regard, there are rumors that the standards organization is planning to give up its 85 standards and base them on the same 55 features of the past.

The important thing is that according to the price ceiling Car import regulationspossibly and in case of implementation Import regulationsWe will witness the arrival of 75 thousand cars in the country. The amount that, considering the conditions of the country’s car market, does not seem to be able to help the market. On the other hand, the small supply of these cars, due to the high demand in the car market, leaves policymakers with several options; Either it should hold a lottery ceremony like the domestic production, in which case we will witness a wide distribution of rent and strange price differences in the car market, as in the scenario of the domestic market, or the idea of ​​replacing imported cars with economy cars should be withdrawn.
