The buses were equipped with ZMZ gasoline engines and Japanese Hino diesel engines, available in rear-wheel and all-wheel drive versions.

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