The Russian automobile plant Moskvich is now preparing to launch a new model. As expected, it will be the Moskvich 5 crossover. The production director of the automobile plant, Oleg Maslyakov, spoke about details about the model and launch timing in an interview with RIA Novosti.

“Moskvich 5” is a mid-size crossover; we plan for it to appear in the first half of 2024.
In the summer, Moskvich 5 was unexpectedly demonstrated at KamAZ before a meeting of the board of directors of the delegation of the Government of the Republic of Tatarstan and Rostec.
As reported then, Moskvich 5 will be offered with two 1.5-liter turbocharged engines. The first develops 149 hp, the second (with direct injection) – 184 hp. The first configuration is presented only with a CVT, the second – with a 6-speed “robot” with two clutches. The drive is exclusively front-wheel drive.
