GAZ-31105
The GAZ-31105 Volga is an automobile manufactured by the Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod (GAZ, Gorky Automobile Plant) from 2004 to 2009 as a generation of its Volga marque. GAZ-31105 was a second stage of the GAZ-3110's modernisation, though the designation was applied to cars produced from January 2004, the mechanical features were introduced almost a year earlier, and certain external ones were available in separate batches as standard or optional in others.

Technical details
The GAZ-31105 was changed from previous designs to include a new fascia with a drooping hood that integrated with the radiator grille into a single unit. This was surrounded by new block headlights, inspired by the 3111. It also featured a new digital instrument cluster on the dashboard. The steering column became more horizontal and greater headroom resulted from thinner seats.
Versions
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.
