The Moskvitch 3 (Russian: Москви́ч 3) is a compact crossover sold by Moskvitch in Russia since 2022. The vehicle is a locally assembled rebadged version of the Sehol X4 by JAC Motors, produced using semi knock-down kits in cooperation with Russian lorry and engine manufacturer Kamaz.[1][2][3][4]

History

The Moskvitch 3 is the first vehicle to be launched by the revived JSC Moscow Automobile Plant Moskvitch.[5][6][7][8] However, it bears little commonality to the last vehicles produced by the company in its last iteration, which was known for its saloons and hatchbacks during the era of the Soviet Union. The revival of the company is part of a broader effort by the Russian government to support the Russian domestic car industry, in the face of western sanctions and the withdrawal of several brands from the country. In 2022, Renault Russia divested in its automobile plant in Moscow, which it had acquired from the bankrupt AZLK. The plant was taken over by the Government of Moscow in 2022, and renamed the JSC Automobile Factory Moskvitch.

Production of the Moskvitch 3 at the restarted plant began in November 2022, with the details of the vehicle revealed in the following days[9][10]

In April 2023, the Moscow City Duma proposed to sell its existing Toyota Camry based fleet, replacing them with the Moskvitch 3.[11]

In July 2023, the Chairman of the State Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin suggested focusing on cars produced in Russia, such as those produced by Lada, as well as Moskvitch. The Minister of Finance, Anton Siluanov, supported the initiative through promising to provide assistance. The Chairman stated:

"We can make the same decision with you regarding the cars used by deputies of the State Duma: we have Moskvitch, we have Lada, we have Aurus. In our power, as soon as possible the fleet of cars of the State Duma should be replenished with Lada and Moskvitch."

Production

The production of the Moskvitch 3 is planned in three stages. From the start of production in November 2022, vehicles are manufactured using semi knock-down kits with the assistance of Russian manufacturer Kamaz, as well as foreign manufacturer JAC Motors.[12] In stage II, planning to begin in 2024, it is planned to increase the localisation of manufacturing, through the attraction of Russian suppliers for components such as body panels and control systems. In stage III in the near future, near full local production of vehicles is anticipated.[13]

Anticipated Production Schedule[14]
2022 2023 2024 2025
Moskvitch 3 400 40,000 80,000 95,000
Moskvitch 3e 200 10,000 20,000 25,000

In mid July 2023, the company reported that they had produced more than 11,000 vehicles since the start of production.[15] The company further stated that they would stop vehicle production for the wellbeing of their workers from the 22nd of July, with production continuing on the 6th of August.
