Standard 2000

The Standard 2000 was India’s first luxury car in the true sense of the word. Built on a Rover SD1 design, the car was the first Indian car to feature power-steering, power-windows and central locking. It had plush seats and plenty of space, and looked great.  The Standard 2000’s biggest failing was its engine. It was powered by a 2-litre 4-cylinder engine that put out 83 bhp of power with a four-speed manual transmission. This engine was noisy and underpowered, and most of all it was very thirsty, giving about 6 kmpl. The car was short-lived between 1985 and 1988 and it was a treat to see one on the road.
