Since 1972. Wagon was also usually called "Universal" (here and in Czechoslovakia for example).

I'm not sure. Its just a body type, not part of name IMHO.

Used as part of name in price lists - in the mentioned countries ("universal" is not a common name for wagon in Polish, in fact there were only 2 universals here IIRC - trabant and vaz). How do you call wagons in Russian?

Edit: Ok I see something (google translate) - "легковой автомобиль с кузовом 'универсал'" - universal ;). Anyway still this word was used abroad. And same like kombi/wagon is type of body and part of the name in the same time in many cases (even if not used at the badge).

Thats from my 1979 Short Auto Handbook [Image: 0f0e12215047896.jpg]
Universal not using as part of name only as body type.

About Kombi - yes there was such a badge 'Комби' on IZh's Link to "fotki.yandex.ru"

Ok, so we are in the point zero - as name "universal" did some career abroad of SU (with VAZ/Ladas):

No, in my first comment, I meant this particular model of VAZ only (and the official name).

By the way the Volga's 24-02 for some reason called here Universal as part of name. /vehicles.php?make=GAZ&model=24-02+Volga+Universal&modelMatch=1&modelInclModel=on I think it dont.

That's true, but it was called like that in Soviet(!) brochure - not in text, but in title. OK - I know it might be a bit tricky, but generally we use such names as part of the model name.
