Triumph Acclaim Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1981–1984) — First Generation
If you are considering a first-generation Triumph Acclaim sedan, look beyond the version badge. Mechanical condition matters on an older car, while the transmission affects how you interact with it every day.
The Triumph Acclaim engine and transmission combinations include the 1.3 MT and 1.3 AT, both gasoline models with front-wheel drive. The manual gives you control over gear changes, while the automatic handles routine shifts for you, making it a convenient choice if your daily routes involve frequent traffic queues.
