IKCO Arisun and IKCO Arisun 2 are small coupé utilities (pickups) designed by Iran Khodro, based on the Peugeot 405. Production started in 2015, and it costs about $7,000.[1] [2] [3] Production was temporarily halted in December 2016,[4] but has since recommenced.

Arisun 1 shares the same chassis and engine as Paykan, although its bodyshell is from the Peugeot 405, with some slight modifications. This model was discontinued due to Euro 5 emission standards.

The replacement model, Arisun 2, was released in 2022. This model is more closely based on Peugeot 405, ditching the Paykan 1.7 litre bi-fuel (CNG and gasoline) engine in favor of the Euro 5-compliant XU7 Plus engine also used in the Peugeot Pars. This model is also front-wheel drive, unlike the Arisun 1 that is rear-wheel drive. Load capacity was increased from .[5] [6]
