Saina prices fall in Iran's open car market, with the dual fuel version down 11 million tomans in two days

According to a survey by the automotive desk of Eghtesad Online published on Tuesday 4 August 2026, prices for the Saina fell in Iran's open car market in line with a broader decline, although the model's different versions did not move alike.

The dual fuel Saina lost 11 million tomans over the past two days to reach 1,335 million tomans. The zero kilometre Saina S has fallen 26 million tomans since the start of Mordad (23 July) and now trades at 1,254 million tomans. The automatic Saina, by contrast, changed hands the same day at 1,700 million tomans and remains in a higher price band than the other two versions.

The report assesses that the decline in Saina prices reflects a corrective and volatile phase across the whole car market rather than added supply or weak demand for one particular model, and that it cannot be read as the start of a sustained downtrend. Iran's car market continues to respond to the exchange rate, political developments and the level of inflation expectations. The Saina is one of Saipa's economy models, built on the X200 platform.
