The base price for the Moskvich 6 liftback is reported at about 2.4 million rubles. This figure comes from Evgeniy Zhitnukhin, who leads the dealership department at the Fresh automotive market, as cited by the analytical agency Avtostat. The estimate reflects the market’s current expectations for a vehicle in this class, taking into account the overall pricing landscape and consumer demand across Russia.
Because the Moskvich 6 will not offer a manual transmission, and because even the entry-level configuration includes several modern features, the starting price is expected to be around 2.4 million rubles. Standard equipment is set to include cruise control, a keyless entry system with push-button start, a rearview camera, and parking sensors. The car will also be equipped with ESP, ABS, EBD, and other driving-assistance technologies, which together contribute to a higher initial price when compared with more basic rivals.
Denis Tsepelev, the Development Director of the Alarm Engines Group of Companies, suggests a recommended retail price near 2.5 million rubles for the Moskvich 6. He notes that there are few direct competitors in this segment, and points out that the dimensions of the FAW Bestune B70 and the Chery Arrizo 8 are closely matched to those of the Moskvich model. Vladimir Tuzov, who oversees Rolf Khimki and Rolf Center, identifies the main market contenders for the liftback as the Omoda S5, Changan Lamore, and Chery Arrizo 8, along with the Kaiyi E5 and BAIC U5 Plus, highlighting the competitive landscape in Russia’s mid-size segment.
The Moskvich 6 measures 4770 millimeters in length and rides on a 2770 millimeter wheelbase. Its engine lineup includes options with 136 horsepower and 174 horsepower. The weaker engine is paired with a CVT transmission, while the stronger unit is matched to a six-speed robotic transmission. Basic equipment is expected to feature LED headlights, a keyless entry system with push-button start, leather upholstery, air conditioning, heated front seats, and a sizable 10-inch multimedia display that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Additional standard items include cruise control, a rearview camera, and parking sensors, completing a well-equipped entry in this class.
Mass production of the liftbacks began at the Moscow plant, with the rollout continuing as production lines scale up. The Moskvich 6 will be offered in three trim levels, and sales are planned to commence by the end of October, marking a significant milestone in the brand’s reintroduction to the market. The plant’s capacity and the staged release aim to meet anticipated demand from local customers who are following the brand’s revival with keen interest.
Current market reception for Moskvich vehicles has been shaped by the plant’s reopening and the brand’s renewed presence. Analysts and industry observers are watching closely as production ramps up and consumer feedback begins to surface, providing early indicators of how the new lineup will perform in Russia’s evolving automotive landscape.
