1982–1983 Talbot Horizon LS Specs & Performance

The Horizon LS carried the Talbot range into the early 1980s with a practical front-wheel-drive layout and a five-door body designed around everyday usability. Its transverse engine leaves the cabin free from a long drivetrain tunnel, while seating for five gives this compact hatchback a useful family-car role. The restrained equipment and straightforward mechanical layout reflect the model’s emphasis on accessible motoring rather than performance or luxury.

Power comes from a naturally aspirated overhead-valve four-cylinder, paired with a four-speed manual transmission. The engine’s modest output makes the LS better suited to steady urban and suburban journeys than rapid acceleration, but its front-wheel-drive configuration and conventional petrol powertrain keep the package uncomplicated. With production spanning 1982–1983 for this listing, this version represents the later LS specification within the first-generation Horizon range.
