HM decides to increase sales of their age old classic model – Ambassador in the country. They are planning to sell 12,500 units this year with the introduction of their new fuel efficient engine. This engine will be compliant with the Bharat Stage 2 & 3 emission norms. It’s probably delivering the mileage of 16 km/l against a 11 km/l mileage from the existing diesel engine.

Hindustan Motors plans to invest Rs 6 crores in upgrading engines to build them BS-3 compliant.The number of changes will be made on the new model. HM also has introduced the buy-back scheme where buyers can exchange their old models of Ambassador with the new one at the discount of Rs 35K.

    * The powerful 1.8 litre isuzu engine is more responsive.
    The radial tires are standard in many variants to get better action and performance
    * 2000 diesel is ok better select the TURBO version
    * 1500 is under powered try to avoid as much as possible
    :One strong reason to love is its Rear seat comfortable and its leg room.

    the interior is not as markable when compared to the morden era
    The design is still lags a lot

    ***now the amby too having sunroof,p.steering,p.windows,a/c

    Dear Sir,
    I am permanently settled in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. I own a 1994 model petrol ambassador car. The condition is perfect, therefore I am not willing to sell that vehicle.I want to either fit a new isuzu turbo diesel engine or authorised LPG kit in my car. Please let me know where can I do this conversion. How much will be the cost of conversion. where can I have the engine. Please mail me at earliest
    regards

    FOR WHT CAR YOU LOOKING FOR .
    IF YOUR LOOKING FOR AMBASADOR MEANS YOU GOT 1800ISZ OR 2000ISZ DLS TURBO OR ORDENARY

  13. Neeraj raj responded on 17 Jan 2010 at 2:42 pm #

    There are two option either you go for the Diesel or LPG conversion.

    The cost of conversion for Diesel is Rs 1,05,000 (plus fitting charges) and for LPG kit is Rs 15, 000.

    But with diesel you can get an average of 12 km/ ltr and from LPG 09 km/ ltr (If your ambassador does 10km/ ltr with petrol.

    Hi all
    I own an 84 model Ambassador mark 4 fitted with B1 imported Isuzu engine.. As many asked, its better to change the trekker engine & fix an Isuzu engine since it has better pick up than Trekker & more mileage than Matador..
