2.2 AT Talbot Tagora engine: 116 hp / 85 kW, displacement 2155 cm³, Gasoline, 4 cylinders, Inline, 2 valves per cylinder, boost No, bore and stroke 91.7 × 81.6, fuel grade 92, gearbox Automatic, 3 gears, drive RWD. Torque is not measured. Compression ratio is not measured. Power matches 2.2 MT at 116 hp. The gearbox is the difference: Automatic with 3 gears versus Manual with 5 gears.
2.7 MT Talbot Tagora engine: 166 hp / 122 kW, torque 234 Nm, displacement 2664 cm³, Gasoline, 6 cylinders, V-shaped, 2 valves per cylinder, boost No, intake Carburetor, gearbox Manual, 5 gears, drive RWD. Bore and stroke are not measured. Fuel grade is not measured. Compression ratio is not measured. 166 hp is 50 hp above the 116 hp of 2.2 MT and 2.2 AT. 2664 cm³ is 509 cm³ above 2155 cm³. 6 cylinders versus 4 is the cylinder-count difference in the data.
2.3 MT Talbot Tagora motor: 80 hp / 59 kW, torque 188 Nm, displacement 2300 cm³, Diesel, 4 cylinders, Inline, 2 valves per cylinder, boost Turbo, compression ratio 21, bore and stroke 94 × 83, fuel Diesel, gearbox Manual, 5 gears, drive RWD. 80 hp is the lowest power in the generation: 36 hp below 2.2 MT / 2.2 AT and 86 hp below 2.7 MT. This is the only Turbo version and the only Diesel version.
Talbot Tagora performance, mpg, and review figures
0–100, top speed, and fuel use (the mpg question) are listed only where the data has a number. Where the field is empty, the figure is not measured.
2.2 MT: 0–100 17 s; top speed 154; city consumption not measured; highway consumption not measured; mixed consumption not measured.
2.2 AT: 0–100 not measured; top speed not measured; city consumption not measured; highway consumption not measured; mixed consumption not measured.
2.7 MT: 0–100 17 s; top speed 154; city consumption not measured; highway consumption not measured; mixed consumption not measured.
2.3 MT: 0–100 17 s; top speed 154; city consumption not measured; highway consumption not measured; mixed consumption not measured.
A Talbot Tagora review that quotes 0–100 can use 17 s for 2.2 MT, 2.7 MT, and 2.3 MT. Those three share the same recorded 0–100 and the same recorded top speed of 154, even though power ranges from 80 hp (2.3 MT) to 166 hp (2.7 MT). 2.2 AT has no 0–100 and no top speed in the data. Mixed, city, and highway consumption are not measured on every version, so mpg cannot be stated as a number from this catalogue. CO2 is not measured on every version. Eco class is not measured on every version.
Reliability and typical problems are not measured in this dataset. Interior equipment is not measured. Those searches have no numeric answer here.
Talbot Tagora dimensions and weight
Wheel sizes are not measured on all four versions. Gross weight is not measured on all four. Ground clearance is 140 mm on all four. Tank volume is 70 litres on all four.
Kerb weight:
- 2.2 AT: 1231 kg — lightest in the generation.

The heaviest recorded kerb weight is 1345 kg (2.7 MT and 2.3 MT). The lightest is 1231 kg (2.2 AT). The spread is 114 kg. Clearance does not change with that spread: 140 mm on every version. The tank does not change: 70 litres on every version.
Front and rear suspension labels do not change: Independent, spring front and Independent, spring rear. Front brakes Disc, rear brakes Drum, on all four versions.
Which Talbot Tagora version to choose
Choice here is arithmetic on the four named versions. There are no prices in the data, so “for sale” is not a ranking factor.
Choose 2.7 MT if the priority is peak power. 166 hp / 122 kW and 234 Nm are the highest power and the highest listed torque. Displacement is the largest at 2664 cm³. Layout is 6 V-shaped. Gearbox is Manual, 5 gears, RWD. Kerb weight is 1345 kg. 0–100 is 17 s and top speed is 154, same recorded figures as 2.2 MT and 2.3 MT. Boost is No. Intake is Carburetor. Fuel grade is not measured.
Choose 2.2 MT if the priority is a Gasoline 4 Inline with a Manual 5-speed. Power is 116 hp / 85 kW, 50 hp below 2.7 MT. Displacement is 2155 cm³. Boost is No. Fuel grade is 92. Bore and stroke are 91.7 × 81.6. Kerb weight is 1255 kg, 90 kg below 2.7 MT. 0–100 is 17 s; top speed is 154. Torque is not measured.
Choose 2.2 AT if the priority is the Automatic. It is the only Automatic in the generation, with 3 gears. Power matches 2.2 MT at 116 hp / 85 kW. Displacement, fuel, cylinders, layout, boost, bore and stroke, and fuel grade match 2.2 MT: 2155 cm³, Gasoline, 4, Inline, No, 91.7 × 81.6, 92. Drive is RWD. Kerb weight is 1231 kg, 24 kg below 2.2 MT and the lowest of the four. 0–100 is not measured. Top speed is not measured. Torque is not measured.
Choose 2.3 MT if the priority is Diesel. It is the only Diesel and the only Turbo. Power is 80 hp / 59 kW, the lowest. Torque is 188 Nm, which is 46 Nm below the 234 Nm of 2.7 MT. Displacement is 2300 cm³. Cylinders are 4 Inline. Compression ratio is 21. Bore and stroke are 94 × 83. Fuel is Diesel. Gearbox is Manual, 5 gears, RWD. Kerb weight is 1345 kg, matching 2.7 MT. 0–100 is 17 s; top speed is 154.
Shared across every version: Sedan, RWD, tank 70 litres, clearance 140 mm, front Independent, spring, rear Independent, spring, front Disc, rear Drum, production window 1980-01-01 to 1987-12-31. Wheel size not measured. Gross weight not measured. Consumption not measured. CO2 not measured. Eco class not measured. Engine location not measured. Power rpm not measured. Torque rpm not measured.
That is the Talbot Tagora as recorded: 1 generation, Sedan, 4 versions, years 1980–1987.
