New Moskvichs, which are not yet sold, have hit Russian roads
Despite the fact that the new Moskvich 5 and Moskvich 8 are not officially sold in Russia, they are being registered with the State Automobile Inspectorate. This was reported by the resource “Chinese cars” with reference to data from the company “Autostat Info”.
According to its statistics, 16 seven-seat Moskvich 8 crossovers and 18 Moskvich 5 units were registered in June. During the first half of the year, 57 and 20 such cars were registered, respectively.
To recap, the Moskvich plant released a limited edition of several hundred Moskvich 5 crossovers in different colors (red, gray, white, and black) and sent them for testing in the spring. Based on the results of the latter, a decision will be made on whether or not to launch the model into production.
As Maxim Kadakov, editor-in-chief of the Za Rulem magazine, reported in April, all Moskvich 5s from the limited edition are equipped with 1.5-liter turbo engines with a capacity of 136 or 174 hp. s., which are aggregated with a variator and only front-wheel drive.
