Wave of production price hikes: Iran Khodro sharply updates vehicle tariffs
On June 17, 2026, the Iranian automotive giant, Iran Khodro, announced a significant update to the factory prices of its products for the coming months. According to reports by خبرفوری ࡆ اخبارفوری مذاکره ࡆ جنگ فوری, these are increases ranging from 30% to 50%, with the "Tara Turbo" model priced at 2.74 billion Tomans. The updates reflect a new reality in the market, which until recently had been experiencing a downward price trend.
The move was accompanied by an official request from the company to the stock exchange to halt trading of its shares, as reported by آخرین خبر and تهران آنلاین ࡆ TehranOnline. The company justified this by the need to "protect shareholders' rights" while implementing the new factory prices. تهران آنلاین noted that this announcement serves as a "direct signal to the automotive market," which could stop or slow down the downward trend that had prevailed in the market.
Reports on the new prices varied. While ایکس فارسی ࡆ FarsiX reported a price of 1.8 billion Tomans for the "Soren" and 2.47 billion Tomans for the "Tara," the channel هات نیوز | فوری 🔴 quoted higher prices for similar models, including Dena Plus (2 billion) and Peugeot 207 Automatic (2.1 billion). The channel کافه سیاست 🖤 harshly criticized the move as a "crazy and frightening price hike."
On the other hand, SNN.ir|خبرگزاری دانشجو clarified that the new prices do not apply to the company's previous commitments in sales plans where payment has already been received in full. The economic channel 📈📊آکادمی اقتصادی اکومارکت remarked on the contradiction in the company's decision: "An agreement is taking shape between Iran and the USA, the dollar is weakening, gold is weakening - yet Iran Khodro has raised product prices."
The impact of the announcement on the local market was immediate. بازار حواله و خودرو اورامانات reported "chaos" in the market, with price increases of 80 to 150 million Tomans in a short time, this after it was reported earlier that there was a downward trend of 10 to 14 million Tomans in similar products on خراسان آنلاین.
