For this reason, GAZ began to develop a new family of vehicles with front, rear and all-wheel drive, the models were named GAZ-3103, GAZ-3104 and GAZ-3105 depending on the version.

The vehicles featured MacPherson strut suspension, V8 engine with fuel injection, and CV front and rear axles.

The GAZ-3103, 3104, and 3105 was slightly larger than the older Volgas and due to the Audi-derived chassis it had it was much more modern, safe, and had a more robust structure, as proven in a crash test.

Due to many economic problems at GAZ, development was stopped several times, and finally in 1992 only production of the GAZ-3105 began, while the other cheaper variants were abandoned.

Even after the start of production, the economic situation in post-Soviet Russia made sales difficult, and in the end only 55 vehicles were produced.
