Nizhny Novgorod Volga may return to the taxi line.

      May 15, 2026 18:47 Economy The cars of the revived Volga brand are officially proposed to be included in the list of vehicles for taxis. The All-Russian Passenger Association has approached the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Anton Alikhanov, with this initiative, reports "RG". This concerns both current and future models. If the decision is made, the manufacturer will have additional motivation to increase the level of localization, and passengers will have greater variability in choosing between "comfort" and "comfort plus" classes.

      "Traditionally, it was the cars produced in Nizhny Novgorod, Volga, that were widely represented in taxis in our country and were particularly popular among the population. We are confident that the appearance of Volga cars in taxi fleets will be very positively received by both market professionals and passengers," the statement said.

      The launch of sales for three new Volga models is scheduled for this summer. It was previously reported that the governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region, Gleb Nikitin, became the first owner of the new Volga K50. NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" has channels on Telegram and MAX.
