Volga is preparing to launch its first new models on the Russian market.
Starting prices have now been announced for the K40, C50, and K50, and assembly of all three models has already begun in Nizhny Novgorod.
Production is taking place on the former Volkswagen and Skoda line, which now belongs to a GAZ subsidiary called Passenger Car Production.
Rather than being developed as fully original models, the new Volga lineup is closely connected to Geely products, with redesigned Chinese vehicles being sold under a familiar Russian name.
Volga K40 Will Be The Entry Model
The most affordable model in the range will be the Volga K40, a midsize crossover based on the Geely Atlas, also known as the Boyue L, with the pre-facelift interior.
The base version starts at about $35,700. For that money, buyers get a 91 cubic inch turbocharged engine with 147 HP, a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, front-wheel drive, and 18-inch wheels.
More expensive versions bring a 122 cubic inch engine with 200 HP, an eight-speed automatic transmission, all-wheel drive, and 19-inch wheels.
The equipment list includes lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, a 360-degree camera system, seat belt pretensioners, and six airbags.
For comparison, the officially imported Geely Atlas before its facelift currently starts in Russia at about $44,800 without special offers, or about $41,400 with trade-in and financing programs. It was not clear at the time of publication whether Volga’s prices already include similar discounts.
The C50 Sedan Is Based On The Geely Preface
The Volga C50 sedan, based on the Geely Preface, starts at about $37,600.
The entry version uses a 122 cubic inch turbocharged engine with 150 HP, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and front-wheel drive. Standard wheels measure 17 inches.
More expensive versions raise output to 200 HP and add 18-inch wheels. Top trims also receive keyless entry, dual-zone climate control, a 12-speaker audio system, light and rain sensors, a 360-degree camera system, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and lane-keeping assistance.
The original Geely Preface is currently offered in Russia from just under $43,500, or about $40,000 with special offers.
That places the Volga C50 slightly lower on price, although the final difference will depend on equipment and dealer programs once full sales begin.
The K50 Becomes The Flagship Crossover
At the top of the range is the Volga K50, a lightly redesigned version of the popular Geely Monjaro.
Pricing starts at about $54,400. The K50 comes with a 122 cubic inch turbocharged engine producing 238 HP, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive.
The base package includes 19-inch wheels, while 20-inch wheels will be available at extra cost. Equipment includes a panoramic roof, ambient interior lighting, and adaptive suspension.
For comparison, the official Geely Monjaro currently starts in Russia at about $59,800, or around $56,500 with special offers.
Sales Begin This Summer
More detailed information about trim levels and final pricing will be released closer to the start of sales.
Volga plans to begin selling the new models in June. All models from the revived brand will come with a five-year or 93,000-mile warranty.
For Russia, the return of Volga is clearly built around familiar Chinese technology and local assembly rather than a completely original engineering program. Still, the strategy gives the historic name a fast route back into showrooms with crossovers and a sedan aimed at buyers who already know the Geely models underneath.
