The GAZ-24 Volga was exported to many countries, from Indonesia and Latin America to Western Europe.
Right-hand-drive export versions also existed.
In Europe, one of the most popular Volgas were cars, both sedans and wagons, assembled in Antwerp by Scaldia-Volga S.A.. These cars were shipped to Belgium without engines, where they were fitted with Indenor diesels (the same as in the Peugeot 404), a 2.1 litre unit with 62 PS (46 kW) until the 2300 D was introduced for 1980.
The 2.3 litre XD2 has 70 PS (51 kW).
Those models were called M24D and M24DB (Break, station wagon), and there was also a "Luxe" version.
Standard Volgas with Soviet engines were sold as M24 and M24B (Break).
Cars that were sold in Europe often had such features as metallic paint, simulated vinyl roof, leather interior and other luxuries.
Station wagons sometimes had simulated "wood" decoration and often a rear window wiper and heater.
These features were usually installed by local European GAZ dealers.

The petrol engine began disappearing from western European price lists towards the end of the 1970s.
The Volga offered good value for money, with the retail price being lower than that of a Volkswagen Golf Diesel – however, the resale value was abysmal.
By late 1983, Belgian Volgas were also no longer available with sedan bodywork.
The Diesel Break came either as the "N" (Normale) or the better equipped "GL".
The car was also sold in Austria, where importer ÖAF-Gräf & Stift referred to it as the "Wolga Attaché GAZ-24."
ÖAF-Gräf & Stift stopped bringing in New Volgas after early 1981, although stock continued to be available until the end of the year and the company also kept providing occasional cars for Czech and Soviet diplomats stationed in Austria.
As in most European markets, the car found its main market amongst taxi drivers, who appreicated its low price and robustness, while being less concerned with resale values.
