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 600 to 750 kg (1,323 to 1,653 lb).[5][6]
