Documents reported on Monday, August 3, 2026, show that Diamond Motor has received type approval for the Toyota Land Cruiser 300, joining the official importers of the model in Iran's market. The approval is a final certificate, indicating that standard testing and safety and emissions requirements have been completed. The permit is valid until December 22, 2027.

According to the registered details, the vehicle will be offered as the Toyota Land Cruiser Twin Turbo VX.R, model year 2026, powered by a 3.4 litre six-cylinder twin-turbo engine coded V35A. Combined fuel consumption is recorded on the certificate at 9.38 litres per 100 kilometres, and the vehicle is supplied to the regional standard used for the Persian Gulf littoral states. The registered identification code and chassis number prefix indicate the vehicle is built on Toyota's production lines in Japan.

Receiving the permit does not amount to a price announcement. Once import tariffs, taxes and duties are taken into account, the final market price of the vehicle in Iran has not yet been determined.

Iran's Car Market Splits in Two: Domestic Models Correct Lower While Imports Keep Climbing

Iran's auto market showed two different patterns on Saturday, September 5, 2026 (14 Shahrivar 1405): some domestic models entered a price correction while a large share of imported cars kept climbing. According to Ecoiran, the automatic Peugeot 207 Panorama fell from 3 billion tomans to 2.95 billion tomans (down 50 million tomans) and the Dena Plus Turbo fell from 3.18 billion to 3.07 billion tomans (down about 3.5 percent), even as the free market dollar rate stayed in last week's elevated range over the same period. By contrast, among imported models, the Kia K5's price rose from 9.65 billion tomans on 11 Shahrivar to 11.4 billion tomans on 14 Shahrivar, a roughly 18.1 percent jump in just three days. The Audi Q5 Black rose 1 billion tomans to 14.5 billion, and the Toyota Camry Limited rose 200 million tomans to 15 billion. Ecoiran described the divergence as a possible sign that higher priced imported cars are gradually returning to their role as a store of value, even as weak demand weighs on domestic models.

According to Khabaronline, Iran's vehicle market kept climbing on Saturday, September 5, 2026 (14 Shahrivar 1405). Per the report, the automatic Peugeot 207 Panorama has risen 190 million tomans since the start of Shahrivar, reaching 2.95 billion tomans. The automatic Dena Plus has gained 70 million tomans over the past three days to reach 3.22 billion tomans, and the Quick S has risen 90 million tomans over the past two weeks to reach 1.3 billion tomans. Khabaronline, citing Tejaratnews, reported that automakers Iran Khodro and Saipa have said consumer prices for their products will rise because of higher costs tied to end of life vehicle scrappage certificates, a factor that could add fresh momentum to the market's upward trend in coming days. Per the report, the simultaneous jump in gold and currency prices, including the free market dollar's move above 221,000 tomans, has been a main driver of the price increases.

Iran Khodro Raises Vehicle Prices From Today

According to Bourse News, Iran Khodro said in a notice that consumer prices for its products are rising from today, Thursday, September 3, 2026 (12 Shahrivar 1405), due to higher costs for vehicle scrappage certificates and registration. The change follows an amended Article 10 regulation of the auto industry organization law and higher plate registration fees. Under the notice, buyers must pay the price difference before an invoice or plate can be issued, and no invoice or registration will be processed without that payment. Vehicles pending since 11 Shahrivar 1405 will be calculated using a 35 million toman scrappage certificate value. Buyers replacing scrapped vehicles accepted from 22 Ordibehesht 1405 onward will also fall under the new price schedule.
