GAZ 24 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1968–1987) — First Generation
The GAZ 24 sedan was built as a roomy, durable family and service car, with simple mechanicals chosen for long service on poor roads and easy repair far from a workshop.
A typical GAZ 24 engine is a large, low-revving gasoline unit such as the 2.5, paired with a manual gearbox driving the rear wheels. That drivetrain favours pulling power at low speeds over outright pace, so the car feels relaxed when loaded and stays straightforward to service.
