What Media Motors Co does

Media Motors Co (مدیاموتورز) is a privately held Tehran-based company founded in 2009 that operates as the exclusive authorized distributor of British MG (Morris Garages) passenger vehicles in Iran. Its lineup spans five SAIC-engineered models — the MG 550 sedan (introduced 2009), MG6/Magnette (2011-2012), MG 350 (2013), MG 3 hatchback (2013-2014), MG GS SUV (2015-2016), and MG GT fastback (2016) — equipped with turbocharged engines, dual-clutch or automatic transmissions, and European-standard safety systems including 6 airbags, ESP, TPMS, and ABS. The company goes to market through 30+ authorized dealerships covering all 31 Iranian provinces, complemented by two dedicated central service centers in Tehran (a 1,500 sqm West Tehran facility opened in 2012 and a 1,000 sqm East Tehran facility opened in 2014). Revenue is generated across three streams: one-time vehicle sales through the dealer network, recurring after-sales service revenue from the central workshops, and sales of genuine MG spare parts. Customers are individual Iranian retail buyers, supported by a 5-year/150,000 km comprehensive warranty, SMS-based customer communication, online service booking, and a complaint-tracking system. In 2019 the company added a partnership with Parsian Insurance to integrate insurance products with vehicle sales.
