Built 1957–2014, the Hindustan Motors Ambassador I 1.5 diesel sedan develops 28 kW (38 PS) from a 1.5-litre four-cylinder diesel engine. A manual gearbox sends the Ambassador I 1.5 diesel's drive to the rear wheels.
It opens the Ambassador I range: of the 2 versions, it has the least power, and the 1.8 Isuzu petrol (56 kW) offers 100% more.
