Recently, the Moskvich (Moscow) brand under Russian manufacturer Kamas released two new SUVs. The new car is named Moskvich 3, positioned as a small SUV, providing two power options: fuel and pure electric. After watching the picture for a long time, the domestic "gene" of this car is still quite strong.
turned out to be an OTC model of the X4 and E40X brand of SKD. It is understood that the new car will transport the assembly parts to Russia in the form of SKD in the future, and then complete the vehicle assembly at the Moskvich factory and finally sell it in the Russian market. At present, the production and sales of new cars are planned to be 100,000 vehicles per year. If it can be achieved, sales seem to be better than the performance of X4 and E40X in China.
I won’t say much about the appearance and design, after all, Moskvich 3 is a label replacement car for X4 and E40X. However, the new car's car-machine system will be localized according to the preferences of Russian users. There are a few interesting stories about
Moskvich 3. First of all, the Moskvich brand has been shelved for more than 20 years. This time, it was restarted and chose the automobile factory located in the previous Renault . In May this year, Renault sold the factory at the price of 1 rubles , and is now renamed the Moscow Automobile Factory.
At the same time, Moskvich's project manager Maxim Klushkin refused to confirm that Sihao was a partner of Moskvich,
"We will not disclose the partner's name."
Another more dramatic thing is that in March this year, two Russian factories of Volkswagen announced their suspension of production. At that time, Volkswagen Group issued a statement on Twitter saying that Volkswagen's two factories in Kaluga and Nizhny Novgorod in Russia stopped production and stopped exporting cars to Russia.
Ersihao is a new brand established by JAC and Volkswagen in China. After calculation, has Volkswagen returned to the Russian market in disguise with Moskvich 3?
