In may 1997, the GAZ plant started production of the modernized base of the car under the designation GAZ 3110. Modified wagon GAZ 310221 got into the pipeline much later – only at the beginning of 1998.

External differences

Upgrading the appearance of the wagon was to change the design of the front end. The car received new front fenders, hood, front part and bumper. Changed the shape of the bulkhead that was designed to be used with different types of engines. All new body parts were taken over unchanged from the sedan. Since the volume of production of wagons were small, the idea of creating a new body tooling for back recognized unprofitable. Therefore, the part of the body GAZ 310221 from the bulkhead and further back was the old, keeping the back lighting from the 24th “Volga”.

GAZ 310221

The tailgate had no janitor, so the roof of the car had a steel baffle. Thanks to this detail the rear window of the station wagon was always clean on the outside.

Salon universal

The interior Design is done in the style sedan. GAZ 310221 got a new soft instrument panel, made of foam plastic. The instrument cluster has a tachometer.

The Front seats have a more ergonomic shape, they were soft headrests. The driver seat was regulated by the distance to the steering wheel and the angle of tilt of the backrest. Innovation was the function of adjusting the stiffness of the back.

GAZ 310221 universal

The Rear seats are left with the hard metal back. Such design allowed to create a flat floor, but passenger comfort is completely absent. As standard the car was a five. But by special order, the factory put two quick release seat third row in the boot. Such versions are often operated in a taxi.

Another version of the cabin was used on versions of the station wagon for the ambulance GAS-310223. These machines were produced in small batches under the state order. In the cabin of these vehicles were sled for a stretcher and two seats for accompanying personnel. Rear glass from b-pillar had a matte finish. The machine is not well suited to deliver patients because of the low cabin and was usually used in hospitals as a convenience, and auxiliary transportation.

Range of engines

The GAZ 3110 was the first passenger model of the Gorky automobile plant with several types of engines. The entire range of engines from the sedan was offered for completing the universal GAS 310221.

GAZ 310221 Volga

The Base engine family was supposed to be a 130-strong ZMZ 406. Four-cylinder engine volume of 2.3 liters were of modern design. Each cylinder had four valves with hydraulic lifters clearances. Fuel was the injection system.

Thanks to the new motor GAZ 310221 “Volga” had a good dynamic characteristics. But such a motor was ordered relatively rare. Most machines were delivered with the old carbureted 100-horsepower ZMZ 402. This was due to the lower price and ease of maintenance. A number of wagons equipped with a license diesel engine "Steyr" under the designation GAZ 560. All engine variants went with a manual five-speed transmission.
