Chigov said that the conversation is not about the near future, of course, but that car may appear on the Russian car market after time. He added that Best Motors will initially bring Saipa Quick, Saina and Shahin models to Russia, with prices ranging from 1 million to 1.7 million rubles. Over time, many pickups designed on the Nissan platform and all-wheel drive vehicles similar to the American Hummer will appear on the Russian market.
There is limited information about the Iranian equivalent of “Hummer”. It is known that the Islamic Republic bought many cars for its army, which were later produced under the Aras brand, and according to local media, the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 could be the basis of the equipped Iranian all-wheel drive.
