Workers from factory of company Iran Khodro are smile, and local autojournalists are glad, after all for them here a big opportunity — in detail to tell to the population about the new car of a domestic production. A name to it — Iran Khodro Runna. This sedan has been presented one of these days directly at a conveyor tape of the assembly enterprise in Teheran.

Founders is proud call the car completely own working out. But we see that under pearl-white body the ten years old woman from France — Peugeot 206. Any robbery: the Iranian office supports for a long time close relations with Frenchmen. It not only exhausts original models Peugeot on the capacities, but also on the lawful bases uses an ancient platform of a sedan 405 for release of the not numerous cars.



However recently at the disposal of Iranians there was something is more modern — base from a sedan 206, models which in their country make not the first year. Having turned to Runnu, technically the car remained former. A suspender simple: in front — McPherson, behind — a beam. Motors — entirely petrol. One of them without changes has removed from original model, its volume — 1,6 l, and capacity — 110 h.p. (142 Nm). Other two engines too French, volume 1,4 and 1,7 l, and both are capable to absorb except gasoline also gas. And Iranians underline that all motors are entered in norms of Euro-4, and petrol 1.6 and at all in Euro-5.

Gear box — five-step "mechanics" or four-step "automatic machine". Besides, Runna already in base equipment it is completed with ABS, two pillows of safety, the air conditioner, electrowindow regulators and an audiosystem. For the budgetary Iranian car very much even it is rich.

About 25 % from their number will leave abroad and to be on sale on four continents, including in Russia where proud manufacturer Iran Khodro while is presented only by one model — sedan Samand.
