At the updated Moskvich plant, the pricing for the first batch of vehicles that began mass production on November 23 has not been officially announced yet. Market observers, however, anticipate a sticker price ranging from 1.6 to 2 million rubles when the model hits the market.
Residents of Moscow may benefit from a government-backed preferential car loan program, which could reduce the purchase price by as much as 20 percent for eligible buyers.
Sales of the Moskvich 3 city crossover are scheduled to commence in December within Moscow and the Central Federal District. The vehicle is powered by a 150 horsepower petrol engine and offers a choice between automatic and manual transmissions.
By year-end, the plant hopes to roll out a total of 600 units.

Requires 7,000 tires in common sizes
Without reliable tire supply, public safety can be compromised and essential medical services may be disrupted.
Behind the Wheel, in collaboration with the Popular Front, has launched a fundraising initiative to purchase tires for the People’s Police and the operational fleets of the LPR and DPR. The tires are intended for ambulances, emergency response vehicles, humanitarian aid transports to Donbas, and military equipment. Contributions can be made through the collection page.
