ARO 240 is a two door 4x4 off-road vehicle, which was manufactured by ARO (short for Auto Romania) from 1972 to 2006. This was the first of the ARO 24 series, which eventually included many other models: the four doors 244, the 242 pick-up, the three doors 243, the 320 pick-up, and many others body trims. Last special military versions were called ARO Dragon. Plans to market the ARO 244 in the United States as the Cross Lander 244X in 2005 were eventually canceled.
