The buses were equipped with ZMZ gasoline engines and Japanese Hino diesels, and there were versions with rear and all-wheel drive.

The KAvZ was assembled almost by hand, and its production cost was high. In the 90s, there was no demand for the model, and most of the buses went to service oil and gas wells in Siberia. In Zhytomyr, a 12-seater cargo-passenger modification with a turbo diesel and all-wheel drive is for sale. The stated mileage is 120,000 km and the price is $3800.
