The car, described by the manufacturer as solid but very comfortable, was a little longer than its predecessor and had a smaller turning circle. This version also had central locking and power steering for an extra charge. The five-seater mid-range car was built for poor roads and temperatures from −40 ° C to +40 ° C, which was appropriate for the Russian domestic market. All-wheel drive, 5-speed manual gearbox, disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear were standard ex-works. The version 2142-164 was offered with a Renault F3R engine and the version 2142-179 with УЗАМ 3317.

Duet 1

The Duet 1 is the two-door variant of the Iwan Kalita. The technical features, equipment and motorization correspond to those of the Iwan Kalita. In 1998 the coupé went on sale with the other model variants.

Duet 2

The Duet 2 is the two-door coupé variant of the Knjas Wladimir. The technical features and equipment correspond to those of Knjas Vladimir, this vehicle was powered by an engine from the VAZ-2106 to create part compatibility (manufacturer information).

Whereabouts

No vehicle in the 2142 series was introduced in Germany , so there is no TSN or type approval. It was only exported temporarily and in small numbers to neighboring CIS countries . The supply of spare parts in Russia is still provided by residual stocks and private manufacturers; Since the number of vehicles is steadily falling and the market for other (also Western) used cars is large, the manufacturer had to be declared insolvent and the vehicles rust relatively quickly, the models of the 2142 series are slowly but surely disappearing the Russian streetscape.

However, one vehicle of each model series exists in the Moskvich Museum and individual vehicles in museums all over the world.
