History
The GAZ-31022 was produced by the Gorky plant from 1992 to 1997. The Russian source describes it as a logical continuation of the Volga line, following the GAZ-24-10. It was a car of the mid-size class in the second group, with a cargo-passenger estate body.
Its production ended in 1997. The Russian article gives the same production period for the whole GAZ-31022 family, and the table above uses those dates.
The GAZ-31022 belongs to the Volga line, which began with the GAZ-21 in 1956 and continued through the GAZ-24 and the GAZ-24-10. The estate body gave the car a cargo-passenger role that the sedan versions did not have.
