Our take on this /// Verdict

The Hindustan Motors Ambassador Diesel 1.5 DSZ (2014) is a vehicle that embodies a mix of nostalgia and practicality. With its powerful 1489cc OHV diesel engine producing 35.5 Bhp and 74 Nm of torque, it offers a robust performance that is commendable for its time. The cars responsive braking system, which includes front disc and rear drum brakes, along with features like Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) and Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), enhances safety. The vast service network and good ride quality make it a reliable choice for Indian roads. However, the lack of modern amenities and the outdated design may deter some buyers. Overall, it is a solid option for those prioritizing durability, space, and a comfortable ride.

Price

The Hindustan Motors Ambassador Diesel 1.5 DSZ (2014) was priced around Rs. 4.54 lakh to Rs. 4.99 lakh ex-showroom, depending on the region and specific trim. On-road prices would have been slightly higher, typically ranging from Rs. 5.2 lakh to Rs. 6.0 lakh, including taxes, registration, and insurance. Given its age and the discontinuation of production, these prices are more relevant for used car buyers. As an older model, the resale value is relatively low, but it still offers good value for money considering its spacious interior, robust engine, and extensive service network.

Its sad to see such an iconic car go out of production.

This allowed the car to be sold in major metro cities where BS III compliant cars were banned. The Encore was priced at Rs. 4.98 lakh (ex-showroom, Kolkata) and was aimed at the taxi segment. This update was crucial for the cars continued relevance in the market.
