Under the bonnet of the Moskvich-403 1.4 petrol sedan sits a 1.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, good for 33 kW (45 PS) and 88 Nm of torque. A four-speed manual gearbox sends the Moskvich-403 1.4 petrol's drive to the rear wheels.

It opens the Moskvich-403 (1962–1965) range: of the 2 versions, it has the least power, and the 37 kW petrol version offers 12% more. On paper, it tops out at 115 km/h, tips the scales at 900 kg and offers 50 PS per tonne. Rivals worth a side-by-side look against the Moskvich-403 1.4 petrol: the Volkswagen Beetle.
