Vehicle model
Moskvich Gamme Moskvich - utilitaires ou VUS
Moskvich's utility and SUV segment is built on rebadged crossovers from JAC Motors. The Moskvitch 3, derived from the Sehol X4 / JAC JS4, is a compact urban crossover launched in late 2022, followed in 2024 by the Moskvitch 8, a large seven-seat crossover based on the Sehol X8. These vehicles target Russian families and buyers seeking a modern, affordable SUV after the departure of Western brands. They offer a digital cabin, surround-view cameras, and gasoline engines. None of these models is sold, imported, or homologated in Quebec or North America. As an equivalence reference for crossovers of this size, 17- to 18-inch rims are typical; in Quebec, winter tires with the mountain-snowflake symbol would be essential, ideally on 17-inch steel rims to reduce costs.

Technology
Technologies, engines and platforms
JAC platforms and powertrains: the Moskvitch 3 gets a 1.5 L gasoline engine (often turbocharged) with a manual or CVT transmission; the seven-seat Moskvitch 8 adopts a gasoline unit of about 174 hp and a seven-speed automated gearbox, with digital screens and driver-assistance features.
Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Moskvitch actuelles, dérivées de crossovers JAC compacts à moyens, utilisent des montes courantes du segment : la Moskvitch 3 reçoit typiquement des jantes de 17 à 18 pouces, avec des pneus du type 215/50 R17 ou 225/45 R18; les modèles plus grands comme la 8 peuvent monter des roues équivalentes ou supérieures. L'entraxe (bolt pattern) suit généralement les standards JAC en 5 trous, fréquent sur ces plateformes. Aucune de ces voitures n'étant vendue au Québec, ces repères servent surtout d'équivalence : pour des crossovers de cette taille circulant l'hiver québécois, des pneus d'hiver certifiés (pictogramme montagne-flocon) montés sur jantes en acier de 17 pouces restent la solution la plus économique et la plus sûre.
