Why Buyers in Iraq Are Choosing Hyundai HX220HD Over 220LC-9S

By Sam from Dige International Trading

In recent years, more buyers in Iraq have started shifting from the older Hyundai 220LC-9S to the newer HX220HD. One of the main reasons is engine efficiency and overall performance stability. The HX220HD features an upgraded engine and improved electronic management system, delivering stronger and more consistent power, especially during long working hours in Iraq’s extreme heat. Compared to the 220LC-9S, the HX220HD runs smoother and maintains better fuel control under heavy load.

Another major advantage of the HX220HD is its improved hydraulic system. The machine offers faster response, better flow control, and higher working efficiency, making it more suitable for demanding jobs such as road construction, pipeline work, and continuous loading. Operators often find the HX220HD more comfortable and productive, while the 220LC-9S, although reliable, feels less refined in comparison.

Finally, buyers in Iraq value durability and long-term operating cost. The HX220HD benefits from stronger structural design, improved cooling performance, and modernized components, which help reduce downtime and maintenance frequency. While the 220LC-9S remains a proven model, the HX220HD clearly stands out as a better long-term investment for contractors looking for higher efficiency and newer technology.

For buyers seeking a modern, powerful, and reliable excavator, the Hyundai HX220HD is increasingly becoming the preferred choice in the Iraqi market.
