Exterior of the new sedan Khodro Dena 2016
As already mentioned, the forms in the Iran Khodro Dena sedan are strict with sharp corners. The front end of the Dena sedan stands out for its large optics. The daytime running lights integrated into the optics accentuate the edges, and the optics are based on halogen lighting. In the middle, a trapezoidal grille was placed, inside there will be only a mesh insert. In the center, the company emblem in the form of a horse's head was placed, just such a company logo.
The Khodro Dena bumper is also in strict forms, in the lower part, the designers have placed another grille for additional airflow, and foglights on the sides. A towing hook was located at the bottom right of the bumper, although it could be made removable or hidden under the bumper. Overall, the front end is pretty good. The hood rests over the optics and the top of the front bumper. Two stripes are curved from the grille to the windshield.
Side Iran Khodro Dena part without any bells and whistles. There is a turn follower on the front fender. From the front to the rear bumper, the designers have made a curve that follows the wheel arches, while emphasizing the doors.
The door handles are conventional, body-colored. The turn signal side mirrors are painted half black and half body color. A demanding buyer will say about the car simply and tastefully.
The rear of the Iran Khodro Dena is made in smoother shapes, the rear optics are made on the basis of LEDs and halogen lamps. As for the trunk lid, it is made a little inconvenient, it opens completely, when it rains, water will get into the trunk. A chrome strip and the Iran Khodro Dena logo were placed on the end of the trunk lid.
The rear bumper repeats the features of the trunk with a small protrusion, the lower part is emphasized by a black insert, and in the middle there is a stop repeater. There is a towing hook in the lower left corner, although like the front it spoils the design a little.

What does the interior of the Khodro Dena sedan look like?
The manufacturer practically does not give information about which interior of Iran Khodro Dena. The front panel is made in a modern style, unlike the body, there are almost no strict sharp shapes and curves. The touchscreen display of the multimedia system is located in the very center. On the right and on the left, the designers have placed openings for air supply, a similar shape can be found in Volvo S90, Renault Koleos or Opel Mokka cars.
The climate control panel is located under the display, and even lower is an ashtray with a small compartment for storing mobile and other trifles. On the sides of the display, as well as along the perimeter of the entire cabin, there will be plastic inserts imitating wood.
For the front panel, high-quality plastic was used, the color of the upper part will always be black, and the lower one can be black or beige, depending on the chosen interior color.
The Iran Khodro Dena dashboard is not completely modern, but quite interesting. The tachometer and speedometer are located on the left and right, between them is a small monochrome display, which displays the engine status, the distance traveled, and other information about the car. Above the display are the engine temperature and fuel level gauges. There will be only three configurations of Iran Khodro Dena on the market, in the base model the steering wheel will be conventional with multimedia controls, without the possibility of an optional choice. As for the other two trim levels, it will be possible to choose an electric steering wheel for an additional fee.
Ignition will be normal, using the key located on the right under the steering wheel. In any configuration of the Khodro Dena, the steering wheel can be adjusted in height and seating depth.
The front and rear seats are not very luxurious. The fabric is used as upholstery. In terms of color, the seats will be black, but the interior is available in black and beige. For beige colors, only change the color of the lower part of the dashboard, half of the door trims, pillar trim and ceiling. The top of the dashboard will remain black, as will the top of the door trims.
The front seats can be adjusted to suit any passenger. The driver's seat can be adjusted in eight positions, and the front passenger seat in six. But often two are enough, this is the back and the depth of the landing. An armrest is installed between the Iran Khodro Dena front seats with a small compartment for storing various little things.
The rear seats are designed for three passengers, although there are two head restraints, a retractable armrest is located in the middle of the seat back. With comfort, we can note the presence of power windows for the front and rear doors. Iran Khodro Dena side mirrors with temperature sensors, auto-folding and electrical adjustment for any configuration. The rear window is heated, but the front windshield is simple without heating.
Four speakers were placed at the front and rear, one in each door. Optionally, you can purchase LED interior lighting, glove compartment lighting, electronic adjustment of front optics.
The interior design of Iran Khodro Dena can be said to be simple and does not stand out in any way with modernity except for the touch display on the front panel.
