Paykan

About Paykan

The Paykan (Persian: پيکان, romanized: Peykān meaning Arrow) is the first Iranian-made car produced by Iran Khodro, between 1967 and 2005. The car, formerly called "Iran National", is a licensed version of the British Rootes Arrow (Hillman Hunter) and was very popular in Iran from its introduction until its discontinuation. The Paykan spawned some locally developed variants, most notably a coupé utility named Bardo and having a different body shell from other the one sold elsewhere.
