History

The Aquila went on sale in Russia in March, 2013.[1]

TagAZ was declared bankrupt on January 21, 2014,[2] meaning that the future of the model is unclear.

The basic model includes air conditioning, power windows, central locking, electrically adjustable heated mirrors, radio cassette, power steering, alloy wheels, driver's airbag and ABS.[3] The car was sold at a price of 415,000 rubles on the terms of obtaining a car at the TagAZ plant .[4]

Only about 200 were produced by the time production stopped.[5]

Production in France

The TagAZ Aquila is now produced in Europe, in the Paris suburbs by small-scale producer of cars, by MPM Motors (Mikhail Paramonov Manufacturing). The Aquila will be called the MPM Erelis.[6] Aquila is sold at a price of 12,500 euros.[7]
