1991, 1992
MSRP:$18,000 – $22,000
The Montego 2.0 LX, SLX occupied a practical middle ground in Austin’s saloon range, combining a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter inline-four with a five-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive. Producing 103 hp and 121 lb-ft, it could reach 108 mph and complete 0–60 mph in 9.9 seconds. The carbureted engine delivered uncomplicated performance suited to everyday family motoring rather than outright sportiness.
For 1991–1992, the Montego paired that straightforward powertrain with a spacious four-door body and five-seat cabin. MacPherson struts at the front and trailing-arm rear suspension supported the chassis, while disc front brakes and rear drums kept the braking system conventional. With 18.4 ft³ of luggage space and a 2,348-pound curb weight, the LX, SLX emphasized useful practicality alongside its respectable performance.
