This year, the model range of the revived Moskvich brand is replenished with two more new cars. Representatives of the plant have not yet gone into detail about them, but the body types of the new products are already known – the line will include a crossover and a sedan, which, most likely, will receive the names Moskvich-5 and Moskvich-. 6.
On the sidelines of the Congress of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP), Sergey Kogogin, CEO of KamAZ, told our colleagues from RIA Novosti that Moskvich’s new products scheduled for 2023 will provide greater crossover and sedan than the Moskvich-3. And for those who do not fully understand what KamAZ has to do with it, let’s not forget that the trucking giant is a technology partner of the capital’s enterprise.
Mr. Kogogin specified that the cars would be put on the assembly line in the fourth quarter of this year. As for the SUV, there are no suggestions yet, but the empty place of the four-door can be taken by a version of the JAC Sehol A5 adapted to Russian operating conditions. And although this model is not a sedan at all, but a liftback, it acts as the most likely candidate.
And it would be nice if that is the case. After all, the new four-door Moskvich will occupy a completely empty niche of C and D-segment sedans, somewhere in the middle. In terms of dimensions, it is larger than, for example, the Skoda Octavia, but more compact than the Kia K5. And given the not-poor equipment and a fairly powerful 184-horsepower engine for a car of this class. with., we can safely assume that it will certainly meet the needs of both private buyers and taxi companies.
