The IKCO Tara[1] (also known as K132) is a subcompact sedan produced by Iranian carmaker Iran Khodro since 2021. This car is a modified version of the Peugeot 301 and is based on Iran Khodro's IKP1 platform, which is a modified version of the PSA PF1 platform. As a result, the platform is shared with the Peugeot 208, Peugeot 2008 and Citroën C-Elysée.

After the JCPOA was announced, Iran Khodro and Peugeot Citroën intended to jointly produce the Peugeot 301, Peugeot 208 and Peugeot 2008 as the IKAP (Iran Khodro Automobile Peugeot) joint venture. After the return of sanctions by the United States, Peugeot left Iran and IKAP was suspended. As a result, Iran Khodro facelifted the Peugeot 301 and the result was the Tara, which was unveiled for the first time on February 19, 2020 on the sidelines of the cabinet meeting by Hassan Rouhani. The K132 was officially unveiled by the Iran Khodro Company at a SAPCO facility. The car was pre-sold for the first time on July 8, 2020.
