Technical features

Platform

The Reera does not use the Tara platform with the code IKP1, but rather it has been developed on Iran Khodro's new platform with the code IKP2. This platform is similar to the second-generation Peugeot 2008 platform.

Engine

This vehicle is expected to be equipped with a 1.7-liter EF7P-TC turbocharged engine, capable of producing 160 horsepower and 240 Nm of torque. This engine is also used in the Dena Javanan model. The turbocharger is supplied by Chinese company Vofon. The company, established in 2010, has been developing small, high-efficiency turbochargers for various engines up to 2.2 liters in displacement. Additionally, a future version of the Reera is expected to feature the IK3-TGDI three-cylinder engine. This 1.3-liter turbocharged engine with three inline cylinders and dual-variable valve timing for exhaust and intake valves can generate 160 horsepower and 240 Nm of torque.

Transmission

The EF7P-TC engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, which is also used in the Dena Plus Turbo Automatic model. For the three-cylinder version, there are reports of a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission being offered.

Features

The Reera will be equipped with features such as a panoramic sunroof, light sensor, rain sensor, four airbags, electric power steering, electronic parking brake, electronic gear shifter, wireless charger, digital dashboard, keyless start, digital speedometer, blind-spot radar, lane-keeping radar, tire pressure and temperature sensors, cornering lights, interior ambient lighting, foot sensor, and an electric trunk lid. Additionally, it will offer heated front seats, power-adjustable driver seat, and more. The Reera has also been equipped with an emergency contact system in collaboration with the Space Technology and Advanced Transportation Development Headquarters of the Vice Presidency for Science and Technology. Moreover, the Reera includes additional features such as traction and stability control, hill start assist, sunroof, automatic climate control, a 12-inch touchscreen multimedia display, a 12-inch digital instrument cluster, rear and 360-degree cameras, power-folding side mirrors, and daytime running lights.
