Auto Plus is a Russian-language automotive television identity whose official material ranges well beyond new-car launches. Its program menu includes road travel, technology, two-wheel vehicles and motoring history. The television grid helps a viewer distinguish a short automotive news item from a longer model feature or a historical program before choosing what to watch.

The model name is often the useful clue
The official November 4, 2026 schedule includes programs about used cars, named vehicle tests and motorcycles, alongside recurring news items. It also includes historical vehicles and travel subjects. These are examples from that dated grid, rather than a permanent promise that a particular model will appear every day.
For a viewer interested in one vehicle, retain both the program family and the model designation. A used-car feature and a new-vehicle test can address different generations, conditions and questions even when the manufacturer is the same. An episode title can be more informative than the broad Auto Plus channel description.
Garage Notes takes a year-based approach
The official Garage Notes description, published in December 2024, explains a format built around a year in Russian motoring history. It connects vehicles with the surrounding period rather than presenting a simple current-model review. The November 2026 grid includes installments labeled with individual years.
That gives the series a different use: choose it for automotive culture and chronology, including how a familiar model fits into a particular period. Choose a model-specific review when the attraction is the vehicle itself. A year in the Garage Notes title is historical subject matter, not the date the television listing was published.
Follow a program family through the grid
The dated schedule separates recurring items such as Новости с колес from Два колеса and Гаражные записки. Keeping the original Russian program title can help international viewers locate the right family even if they first encountered an English description of it.
Use the date selector when comparing an archived program description with a broadcast listing. For practical vehicle decisions, also distinguish the broadcaster’s editorial assessment from the manufacturer’s current specification for the exact model and year. A television feature can provide context and questions to investigate; it does not identify the condition of an individual used car.
Useful answers
Is Auto Plus only about cars currently on sale?
No. The official program material includes used vehicles, motorcycles, road travel and historical motoring subjects alongside news and vehicle tests.
What does a year in a Garage Notes episode title mean?
The official format is organized around a year in motoring history. Read that year as the episode’s historical subject, and use the separate schedule date to identify a broadcast.
