Not as well equipped as ELX, this model was simply an upgraded version of Pars in terms of engine and rear brakes.
The Iran Khodro website contradicts this information, stating that a non-ELX 16V variant was still produced in 2009 (and with drum brakes in the rear).

They also managed to just barely fit a daylight system on the new Pars, they removed the plastic protection pieces from the car's body to make it look and seem more modern.
The car this time around, was also equipped with more features such as a DRL System, Electronic stability control, Gear Shift Indicator screen.
