GAZon NEXT – medium-duty truck series by GAZ of Nizhny Novgorod, offered since 2014 as a chassis for flatbed, box and special bodies
GAZ (Gorky Automobile Plant) is a Russian vehicle manufacturer based in Nizhny Novgorod, known chiefly for light commercial vans and, under the Volga name, for passenger cars. The GAZon NEXT is the company's medium-duty truck series, introduced in 2014 as a more modern chassis with a new cab and reworked suspension, replacing the classic GAZon.

The GAZon NEXT is powered by diesel engines with a comparatively compact cab; depending on application, the chassis carries flatbed, box or tanker bodies, as well as special bodies for fire brigades, ambulance services and municipal operators built on this base.
As a medium-duty truck, the GAZon NEXT fills the segment between light vans and heavy tractor units and is used mainly in Russian distribution, construction and municipal transport, where a tight turning radius, a high payload share and simple, low-maintenance technology matter. The wide range of bodies makes the series a versatile base for municipal and commercial fleets.
Buying a used GAZon NEXT means checking the condition of the fitted body and its mounts to the chassis, testing the brakes and suspension after what is usually an urban duty cycle with frequent starting and braking, and checking the frame, cab and body mounts for corrosion. Parts availability outside the core markets in Russia and neighbouring countries is worth clarifying before buying.
