Talbot Avenger Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1970–1981) — First Generation
The first-generation Talbot Avenger comes in sedan and five-door estate forms. The estate’s rear hatch makes it the more practical choice if you regularly carry bulky luggage.
Talbot Avenger engine choices include the gasoline 1.3 MT in sedan and estate forms, plus a 1.6 MT estate. These versions pair a manual transmission with rear-wheel drive, leaving gear selection to you. When choosing, consider your usual load: a larger engine generally makes carrying passengers and luggage less demanding.
