In this article, we tried to compare two popular and high-end products of Iran Khodro company with each other, so stay with IR Lux Cars team. A question that may remain unanswered in the minds of many. Rana Plus or Pars XU7P?
Peugeot Pars or Rana Plus?
Peugeot Pars is one of the oldest products of Iran Khodro, which has been produced since 1379. This so-called French sedan is a facelift of the Peugeot 405, which has been mass-produced with changes in the lights, bumpers and dashboard. In contrast, Rana Plus is the facelifted and Iranized version of Peugeot 206 with a box. Rana was initially produced with a simple model from 1991 to a few years ago, but Iran Khodro produced an updated version with the addition of Plus with minor changes. At first, Rana was known for the bad and poor quality market, but gradually with the production of the Plus version, these titles are being forgotten. Which one do you think is better? Rana Plus or Peugeot Pars?
Peugeot Pars is much older and it is natural that its design is out of fashion. However, at a time when modern cars with space designs are being produced, we should not focus on two old cars, but these are the dreams of the country's youth. let's move on…! In general, the simple and old design of both cars is characteristic, and these sedans have nothing to say even against Chinese products. In terms of design, Rana Plus looks a little more attractive, but the negative points of the design in both cars are extremely annoying. The same repeated story of the exterior design of Peugeot Pars and Rana Plus is strongly visible inside the cabin.
The extremely low quality of the dashboard material and the sound of the door creaking is very annoying. Peugeot Pars was produced with the same old dashboard of 405 until 2013, but from that year onwards, Iran Khodro engineers used a new design for the dashboard of this sedan, the material quality of which was not very good. In the Full Pars versions, which are known by the custom suffix, things like touch screen, different amps behind, new guide handle and two-color trim have been added, which add to the attractiveness of this car's cabin.
Changes have also been made in Rana Plus, among which we can mention the steering wheel belonging to Peugeot 207, new wheels, seats similar to 207, behind the amps and guide handle, and a new wiper. In terms of equipment and amenities, both cars are at the same level. Rana Plus with new safety and comfort equipment such as anti-lock braking system (ABS and EBD), front disc brake, rear cup brake, stability control system (ESC) and traction control system (TCS), driver and front passenger airbags, electric steering , reverse gear sensor, automatic fuel cut-off system, cruise control, unlocking the trunk from the inside, integrated center console set, side handles and strings in the same body color (look pack), new steering wheel set, sound insulation in the engine, new dashboard set (manual handle And the new design wiper handle, front digital amp with belt warning, display screen on the dashboard, ambient temperature display) will be launched on the market. In contrast to Peugeot Pars with anti-lock braking system (ABS and EBD), hydraulic front and rear disc brakes, steering wheel control keys (MFC), immobilizer, central locking with remote, front seat belts with height adjustment, reverse gear sensor, The thermometer on the dashboard and the trunk door opener are provided from inside the room.
In the engine department, Pars has improved fuel consumption and emissions with the XU7P engine, but it produces less power and torque than the old XU7 engine. This engine has a power of 97 horsepower and a torque of 146 newton meters (the old XU7 engine produces 100 horsepower and a torque of 153 newton meters), which this power and torque is created thanks to making changes in some parts such as the mill valve, cylinder head, etc. According to Iran Khodro, the engine speed has been reduced in the final gear in order to reduce engine noise and consumption. Also, the most important problems of the old XU7 engine, i.e. gasketing in the XU7P engine, have been fixed. In contrast, Rana Plus is equipped with the same famous TU5 engine. This popular 1.6-liter engine has 105 horsepower and 142 Nm of torque. In terms of fuel consumption, the tu5 consumes less gasoline than the XU7P engine and produces less noise. Now, according to the investigations carried out by the IR Lux Cars team, we hope that we have been able to help you dear ones in this matter.
