"Atom" is produced according to the full technological cycle. "Moskvich" performs fine-nodular body welding, painting and anti-corrosion treatment, final assembly, adjustment of mechanical components and adjustment of electronics. Each car undergoes testing and final quality control.
The electric car is built on its own modular platform, which has been tested in different climatic conditions in Russia. "Rosatom" produces traction batteries and an electric drive for "Atom". The car is equipped with an electric motor with a capacity of 150 kW (204 hp). It accelerates to 100 km / h in about seven seconds, the claimed power reserve reaches 500 km (according to the WLTC cycle).

The rear suspension is five—lever. High-strength hot-stamping steel is used in the body structure. Another unusual feature of "Atom" is the swing doors without a central pillar, which should simplify boarding the cabin.

The infotainment system of the electric vehicle runs on its own operating system. Instead of the traditional large central display, a projection onto the windshield and a touch screen on the steering wheel are used. Some of the functions can be controlled by voice and from a smartphone.
The ADAS 2+ complex is responsible for electronic driver assistance systems. It uses cameras, radars, and other sensors to support the driver.
