Well, nearly two years after it was announced, it looks like Iranian assembler Iran Khodro, or IKCO, will have its first Runna sedans reaching domestic customers in the middle of this year.
The Runna is essentially a Peugeot 206 sedan, and is yet another of the company’s domestically-made offerings, slated as a national car. Word back then was that the car would ship with a few engine choices, all built by IKCO, and based on PSA blocks – a 95 hp 1.4 litre pot, as well as a 108 hp 1.6 litre and a 1.7 litre CNG-based unit.
IKCO does quite a bit of Pug stuff for the domestic market – there’s also the Samand, which is based on the 405 sedan, as well as the 206 hatch and the 207i hatch among the number of cars in its lineup. Strangely enough, it also has the 206 sedan – in SD guise – in its lineup. When first announced, IKCO planned to build 150,000 Runnas a year at full production – undoubtedly, that company should still be standing by those figures, unless something radical has come about.

I saw a Suzuki Baleno!
This is one ugly car. I believe the older model, Samand is much better looking car. Looks like a China car.
Front end looks like Korean car or Chevy Aveo……wired looking though……cut & paste.
This car is originally Made in China. Anyone can call themselves a car maker nowadays as long as you got some money. Basically, they are not car makers, they are assemblers. Fix the doors, fix the tyres, rebadge it and WALLA… call it your own National car!!
A middle east proton. Any basher?
iranian basher in training right now..later they will come
more like perodua
The design look not match lar, why so urgly.
heck this one looks way better than our “irresistible” 207 sedan
macam kereta saaga lolz!
gril lak amik dari volvo.. haha
The front lacks the character of 207 sedan, the side belongs to a 207 sedan, while the rear looks nicer than a 207 sedan.
emm.. persona looks better..
I don’t really mind the rest of the car, but those rims are fugly.
I love it, it is a quality car and looks great.
they’ve got nicer looking side mirrors though. looks bigger and a bit more modern. i’m referring to the side mirrors. dashboard nothing to shout about.
207 Sedan which released in malaysia was originally a 206SD which released in iran 3 years ago. basically the back looks the same as 207sedan but with old 206 lights, also front was exactly like the old 206. All it takes from 206SD to Runna was lights bumpers and front hood. like 2009 saga and 2011 saga! personally i think this is one hell of an ugly car to begin with. just like put more makeup on a very ugly girl!
