Notable events in recent months have stimulated demand for hybrid cars of all types in Russia. Since their domestic pricing naturally means that only the very wealthy can buy them, manufacturers and official dealers are in no hurry to fill the domestic market with such “dual-fuel” cars. So, in the absence of fish, the person who comes forward may be able to bite a large portion of the cake.

As a result, Moskvich is already developing a hybrid version of the M70 crossover and plans to start production next year. this information shared Business head Elena Frolova at the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF). The hybrid version of the M70 will therefore be the first car of its kind to roll off the assembly line of the Moscow plant: the plant previously produced either conventional gasoline cars or pure electric vehicles.
The cost of the hybrid M70 has not yet been specified, but it is easy to understand that it will be significantly higher than the standard version: not least due to the presence of additional units such as the electric motor and the traction battery and its charging system.
We would like to remind you that after the total failure of the revived brand, which chose ugly and in every aspect strange cars from the Chinese brand JAC, Moscovici adjusted his strategy and chose more visually and technically attractive models of the MG brand (now owned by the Chinese carmaker SAIC) for the new M-series crossover range (M70 and M90). However, there is no personal enthusiasm for the new Moskovich, considering that pricing is entirely determined by the peculiarities of Russian legislation, and its sale is still pending. In terms of statistical error.
