The Moskvitch 410 was an experimentally designed limited production car made by Soviet manufacturer MZMA from 1957 to 1961. Initially conceived as an economical and comfortable means of transport for agricultural machines' repairing teams, the 410 presented itself as a four wheel drive version of the Moskvitch 402 with a more powerful engine and higher ground clearance. In 1958, however, MZMA produced an upgraded station wagon variant on the same wheelbase, called Moskvitch 411. In total, only 7580 of model 410 and 1515 of model 411 were made. [1]

The 410 was powered by a 35 hp (26 kW) engine, but in 1958 upgraded to the 410N (in Russian: 410Н), fitted with a more modern 45 hp (34 kW) unit, from Moskvitch 407. [1] The 411, as well as its three-door variant 431, both featured 60 hp (45 kW) engines and a weight increase to accommodate the C-segment. The production of both cars ceased in late 1961 as MZMA was aiming to adapt its main production of Moskvitch 407 for upscale market.

The ground clearance was 220 mm (8.7 in) under axles and 430 mm under a floor, [1] it could cross water up to 0.3 metres (11.8 in) deep, and in first gear it could climb 33 degrees. The early version (1957-1959) had a 3-speed manual + 2-speed auxiliary gearbox which in 1960 was replaced by a 4-speed manual + 2 speed auxiliary gearbox. The top speed was 90 km/h (56 mph).
