Bahman Group takes part in Tehran Auto Expo with new products
Two subsidiaries of the Bahman Group, namely Bahman Motor with assembled vehicles and BM CARS with imported products, are present at the Tehran Auto Expo. The following is a brief introduction of the most notable and newest products of the Bahman Group which were present at Tehran Auto Expo.
Assembly products of Bahman Motor at Tehran Auto Expo 2024
Bahman Motor, which is in charge of the production and supply of assembled vehicles of the Bahman Group, has attended the Tehran Auto Expo with the following products:
Fidelity Prestige
Fidelity Prestige is one of the newly assembled products of Bahman Group, which enjoys a different face design, new cabin, and different technical specifications compared to the Prime model.This mid-size crossover possesses a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine and transmits a power equal to 197 horsepower plus 290 Nm of torque to the front wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. It is likely that Fidelity Prestige to gain a special place in Bahman Motor's assembly product portfolio in 2025.
Fidelity XB1
Jetour Dasheng is one of the latest products of Chery Automobile Co. which the Bahman group set to launch in the Iranian market in assembled form under the name of Fidelity XB1.
The modern interior design and powerful 1.6-liter engine with 197 horsepower, as well as various features and stylish appearance, are among the remarkable features of Fidelity XB1.
ّIn addition to sharing the same engine and gearbox as Fidelity Prestige, it is not much different in comparison with the engine of some Phoenix products in Iran.
In case of favourable circumstances, Fidelity XB1 would officially enter Bahman Motor's assembly product portfolio in the first half of the Iranian Calander year 1403 which begins at March 20, 2024.
G9 pickup
The G9 pickup truck off-road is another product of Bahman Motor, which was unveiled last year but has not yet officially entered the market. This large two-differentials pickup is powered by a 2-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged engine with a power of 220 horsepower.
This car weighs more than two tons and is considered one of the biggest pickups and is currently available in the Iranian market.
It is said that in 2024, the Bahman Motor's G9 would join the market.
Other products of Bahman Motor Co.
In addition to new products, Bahman Group's current vehicles such as Dignity family products, new Respect, and Fidelity Prime were also exhibited at the Bahman Motor booth in the Tehran Auto Expo 2024.
Imported products of BM CARS
BM CARS is another subsidiary of Bahman Group, which is engaged in the field of car import, welcoming visitors with several new models at the Tehran Auto Expo.
Hongqi products
In its first steps to import new cars, BM CARS chose the Chinese brand Hongchi and put a sedan called Hongqi H5 on its list of imported cars.
This car came to Iran in gasoline and also electric versions and it is said that the electric version called Hongqi E-QM5 is sold only for taxi and public transportation purposes in Iran.
The gasoline version of H5 is launched with a 2-liter engine with a power of 220 horsepower and a torque of 340 Nm as well as an 8-speed automatic gearbox.
Hongqi E-QM5 also has an electric motor with a power of 190 horsepower and a torque of 320 Nm.
Bastion T77
This imported crossover is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with 169 horsepower and a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
It is possible that if the issues of providing foreign currency for imported cars are facilitated, Bahman Group will deliver Bastion T77 to Iranian customers next year.
Neta U
Another brand that BM CARS plans to bring its electric products to the Iranian market is the Chinese brand "Neta".
In this regard, the Neta U compact crossover was depicted for Iranian customers for the first time at the BM CARS booth in Tehran Auto Expo 2024.
This family car has a 161 horsepower electric motor and according to the manufacturer's claim, it can travel 500 km on a full charge.
Crossover Dongfeng E5
Another imported product of BM CARS is a family crossover named "Dongfeng E5". This car has hybrid propulsion and it benefits from an electric motor with a power of 173 horsepower.
It is mentioned that the Dongfeng E5 will first be imported and later assembled by Bahman Group.
Bahman Group Co. is considered to be the oldest and largest car manufacturer in Iran's private sector and it has exhibited various models in Tehran Auto Expo 2024.
Unfortunately, most of the newly imported or assembled products of the Bahman Group have only been present at exhibitions and have not yet officially entered the Iranian market.
However, it is expected that by removing some obstacles, especially the supply of foreign currency, Bahman Group will be able to offer most of its newly imported or assembled products in the Iranian market next year.
