GAZ-31022 Volga

The GAZ-31022 was the estate version of the Volga, built by the Gorky Automobile Plant from 1992 to 1997 as the logical continuation of the GAZ-24-12. Production began in late 1992. It differed from its predecessor only in the front end, which was shared with the GAZ-31029 sedan, including the side members, wings, bonnet, radiator grille, engine bulkhead, bumpers and lighting, while the body behind the bulkhead was identical to the older estate. Despite its number it had no real kinship with the GAZ-3102, whose floor pan, with the fuel tank above the rear axle, was not suited to an estate body. It used the ZMZ-402 or 4021 engine of 90 to 100 hp. Many were built as ambulances, the GAZ-31023, and the model was succeeded in 1997 by the GAZ-310221, unified with the GAZ-3110 sedan.
