In 2006 the standard engine selection was added with a
Chrysler 2.4-litre DOHC engine. In 2005 GAZ introduced a long-wheelbase GAZ-311055 luxury model, with a new interior that included wooden trim. The latter feature became standard on models produced from 2007 onwards when GAZ gave the car a minor facelift. Among the changes were completely new taillights and a conversion to Euro III standard with the introduction of its new 2.4 litre 152 hp ZMZ-40525 engine, complementing the Chrysler engine, with which the archaic ZMZ-4021 and ZMZ-4062.10 were phased out. The GAZ-31105 was available only as a saloon, with the estate continuing with the old GAZ-3110 styling. Following the introduction of the
Volga Siber in 2008 GAZ hoped to fully finish production on both the GAZ-3102 and the GAZ-31105 by 2010. The base design of both cars still traced its roots to the GAZ-24, thus ending a successful production run of 40 years. In addition,
pick-up truck and
panel van models based on the GAZ-31105 were also built by outside companies in small numbers. One particular example is the GAZ 17310 "Trofim", which was built by Gidroprivod in
Kimovsk in a cooperation with GAZ. This cooperation started in 2003 and production eventually ended in 2007. ==References==
