Morattab is an SUV manufacturer based in Tehran, Iran. Since 1962, the company has produced versions of the Series Land Rover. The currently produced vehicles are in fact versions of the Series IV models made by Santana Motor of Spain until the early 1990s, when the production tooling and design were sold to Morattab and shipped to Iran. As such Morattab Land Rovers differ significantly from the final Series model built by Land Rover in the United Kingdom (the Series III, which ceased production in 1985)- for example, the Series IV models have parabolic leaf springs, one-piece windscreens and fully-fitted interiors, all of which were never found on UK-built Series Land Rovers. Morattab fits locally-built 1.8-litre 4-cylinder petrol engines to its Land Rovers, the design for these originating with Nissan, instead of the 2.25-litre 4-cylinder or 3.3-litre 6-cylinder engines fitted to the Santana Series IV.
In 2003, they launched production of the Ssangyong Musso.
