This could be the most exciting news for our HM Ambassador fans. Our very own Amby is planning for a comeback in next year. The iconic Amby is all set for a complete makeover, 2011 HM Ambassador will be restyled by European designers and will be powered by an all new heart. HM will continue producing and selling of current version of Ambassador for taxi segment.
The new Ambassador will be taking the leader’s role by 3-5 years down the line. “The new Amby will have a retro design and sport cutting-edge engineering to compete on comfort and value for money. Overseas experts have been roped in for the metamorphosis. The new version will be ready by January-February 2011 for test trials and is expected to undergo validation by May so that commercial production can begin next July,” said CK Birla official. The dimensions of current Amby will be retained. But the new Ambassador will be altogether different interms of looks.
“The new car will be a sibling of the Ambassador but the change will be so holistic that it will be a completely different vehicle. Apart from the new-look retro exterior, the interiors will be revamped. It will be powered by BS IV-complaint and BS V-ready 1.5 litre and 2 litre diesel as well as petrol engines that are powerful and fuel-efficient. Overseas technology firms are working on each aspect of the car to ensure the vehicle is on a par with contemporary vehicles on Indian roads in terms of built quality and reliability,” said Manoj Jha, MD HM.
