The presentation of the new models took place on December 12, 2025 at the site of the Scientific and Technical Center "KamAZ". The Moskvich M70 belongs to the mid-size segment. The car is planned to be equipped with an all-wheel drive system, but at the start of sales it will have only front-wheel drive.The seven-seat M90, about five meters long, will become the flagship of the brand.

It is known that all exterior body panels of M70 and M90 cars are galvanized. The metal is protected from corrosion, which prolongs the service life of the machines.
