"GAZ Group" launches the production of all-metal van "Gazelle Next", which was first presented at first within the International Motor Show Comtrans'2015 in September of this year. As the "GAZ Group" noted, with the production of new models "Gazelle Next", the company goes into the segment of vans with volume of a body more than 13 cubic meters, which were represented only by foreign manufacturers. The price of the GAZ car is lower by 25-50% than the price of foreign competitors and the cost of maintenance, spare parts and consumables is less than 1.5 times.

Metal vans "Gazelle Next" are presented in three variants: cargo, cargo and passenger (combi) and a minibus. Compared to "Gazelle" of the previous generation the volume of the cargo compartment of the van grew by 30% to 13.5 cubic meters A special device allows to transport long-range loads of up to 5 m. Combi-van can accommodate 7 people and 9.5 cubic meters of cargo. The second row of seats of the car is transformed into a full sleeper place. Minibus is designed for use as a taxi, tourist or corporate transport. It can accommodate comfortably 16 people. Ease of passengers is achieved due to the high doorway, low steps, high cabin, LED lighting and panoramic windows.

The body of the van "Gazelle Next" is made of galvanized steel and it is protected from corrosion. Gears are shifted by a remote operator (joystick), located on the dashboard. The usage of a new plastic fuel tank, the volume of which has increased to 80 liters, increased the power reserve on one filling. Modification of the rear suspension increased the stability on the road and smooth running of the car.

Vans and minibuses "Gazelle Next" will be equipped with diesel engines Cummins ISF2,8 and petrol engines Evotech 2,7.
