The Moskvich plant has reached an output level of about 27 thousand vehicles since production began in November of the previous year, according to the press service of the capital’s enterprise and analysis from Avtostat. The figure reflects steady ramp-up in manufacturing capacity and signals a growing footprint for the brand in the domestic market as production scales to meet demand across urban and regional channels.
During the same timeframe, more than 9 thousand cars were sold, with Moskvich 3e electric crossovers accounting for roughly 8.5 percent of that volume. The company notes that public sector orders form a small share of total sales and have not exceeded 10 percent, indicating a primarily civilian market orientation and a balanced distribution of demand across private buyers and corporate fleets. This pattern underscores the plant’s progress in diversifying its product lineup while maintaining strong consumer demand for both conventional and electric models.
Today the Pechatniki facility employs around 1.6 thousand workers. The plant currently manufactures the Moskvich 3 crossover, the Moskvich 3e electric vehicle, and the Moskvich 6 sedan. The latter model is slated to begin production in September, with commercial sales yet to commence. This phased introduction aligns with the company’s broader strategy to expand offerings gradually, ensuring quality control and supply chain stability as new models enter series production.
City leadership has outlined ambitious plans for future growth, with Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin confirming the intent to initiate production of two additional crossover models, the Moskvich 5 and the Moskvich 8, in 2024. The Moskvich 5 crossover has already been showcased in Tatarstan during the summer, where it was identified with styling and engineering cues linked to China’s JAC Sehol X6. This cross-brand appearance highlights strategic collaborations and the global approach being pursued to broaden the product family while leveraging established platforms.
Additionally, market observers have been curious about pricing trajectories for the Moskvich 6, with ongoing discussions shaping buyer expectations as the model moves closer to release. The evolving pricing landscape will influence early demand, dealer incentives, and potential fleet opportunities as the lineup expands and the brand strengthens its presence in both the Russian market and international regions with similar demand profiles.
