Chronology
PredecessorIKCO Dena Plus

After the JCPOA was announced, Iran Khodro and Peugeot Citroën intended to jointly produce the Peugeot 301, Peugeot 208 and Peugeot 2008 as the IKAP (Iran Khodro Automobile Peugeot) joint venture. After the return of sanctions by the United States, Peugeot left Iran and IKAP was suspended. As a result, Iran Khodro facelifted the Peugeot 301 and the result was the Tara, which was unveiled for the first time on February 19, 2020 on the sidelines of the cabinet meeting by Hassan Rouhani. The K132 was officially unveiled by the Iran Khodro Company at a SAPCO facility. The car was pre-sold for the first time on July 8, 2020.

Parts of the side frame, cabin and roof frame of this car are common with the Peugeot 301, and most changes have been made in the design of the front and rear of the car. According to Iran Khodro, this car is "92% internalized".[2]
