As in the case of the SUV, another emblem was received by the car of the Chinese company JAC (“troika” is made from JAC JS4): Sehol Yao was taken as the basis for the five-door (JAC uses the Sehol brand only at home, and they are about to give it up there too) ), that is, one of the varieties of the JAC J7 model, which is still on the Russian market. The length of the Moskvich 6 liftback is 4770 mm, width — 1820 mm, height — 1492 mm, wheelbase — 2770 mm. Thus, in terms of its dimensions, the “six” is not far from the Skoda Octavia.
