TagAZ was declared bankrupt on January 21, 2014,[2] meaning that the future of the model is unclear.

The basic model includes air conditioning, power windows, central locking, electrically adjustable heated mirrors, radio cassette, power steering, alloy wheels, driver's airbag and ABS.[3] The car was sold at a price of 415,000 rubles on the terms of obtaining a car at the TagAZ plant .[4]

Only about 200 were produced by the time production stopped.[5]

The TagAZ Aquila was also produced in Europe, in the Paris suburbs by small-scale producer of cars, by MPM Motors (Mikhail Paramonov Manufacturing). The Aquila is called the MPM Erelis. [6] Company on 2021 went bankrupt. Aquila price tag was from 10.000 euro till 30.000 euro depending on the version.[7]
