The Peugeot Pars (Persian: پژو پارس), previously known as Peugeot Persia and Peugeot Safir, is a passenger car produced by the Iranian carmaker Iran Khodro. After 10 years of manufacturing the Peugeot 405 in Iran, the Peugeot company designed the Peugeot Persia For Iran as its facelift, with a front end design similar to that of the Peugeot 406. The Peugeot Persia was soon renamed Peugeot Safir and eventually Peugeot Pars because of local copyright problems.
