Moskvich 2027: long-range hybrids and all-wheel drive models

Russian car brand Moskvich has announced ambitious plans to expand its vehicle lineup with brand-new cars and advanced modifications of existing models. According to the official corporate strategy, hybrid versions of the M70 crossover and all-wheel-drive variants are scheduled for release in 2027.

• Hybrid powertrains and all-wheel drive variants for Moskvich models are slated for 2027
• The affordable Moskvich 3 crossover will receive deeper localization and a facelift
• Total car sales reached 10,000 units in the first nine months of 2026

Expansion of the M-Series and Hybrids

A central focus of the upcoming release will be the broader M-series lineup. The company plans to introduce hybrid variants of the M70 crossover, designed to offer an extended driving range through a combination of traditional and electric powertrains. Additionally, all-wheel-drive configurations are currently in development, though specific release dates and technical specifications remain under wraps.

The manufacturer aims to continue developing the entire M-series family to meet growing market demands for versatile vehicles. Analysts note that introducing long-range hybrids and all-wheel-drive options will significantly strengthen the brand's competitive stance in the crossover segment.

Upgrading the Mass-Market Moskvich 3

Alongside higher-end additions, the company will focus on improving its most accessible and popular vehicles. The Moskvich 3 crossover holds a central place in this segment, with immediate plans to increase its local component production rate to reduce supply chain dependencies.

In the long term, the popular crossover is also set to receive comprehensive exterior and interior refreshes. These updates aim to modernize the vehicle's aesthetic appeal and enhance cabin ergonomics for everyday drivers.

Current Lineup and Market Performance

As of today, the brand's diverse portfolio includes gasoline-powered and electric versions of the Moskvich 3, the Moskvich 6 sedan, the three-row Moskvich 8 SUV, and the newer M-series additions, namely the M70 and M90 models.

Commercial performance highlights steady consumer interest. During the January-September period of 2026, total sales of the brand's vehicles reached the 10,000-unit milestone, proving solid market demand for the revived domestic brand.
