Ambassador Car
Ambassador was the first car to be manufactured in
India and has been plying on Indian roads since 1948. Its dependability,
spaciousness and comfort factor have made it the most preferred car for
generations of Indians.
With the passage of time Ambassador has upgraded itself and now comes
loaded with latest technological features. Its MPFI engine with 16-bit
ECU ensures easy cold start. Improved suspension, smoother gears,
ergonomically designed plush seats, wider tyres, power steering and
ample boot space add to driving pleasure.
Ambassador is available in petrol, diesel and CNG/LNG options
