The 15 hp was the manufacturer's mid-range model in the late 1920s. Unlike its predecessors, it had a side-controlled six - cylinder in - line engine with a displacement of 1900 cm³ (bore × stroke = 63.5 mm × 101.1 mm). The performance is unknown.

Like all pre-war Armstrong Siddeley models, the 15 hp had two rigid axles. As with the 4/14 hp, both axles were attached to semi-elliptical longitudinal leaf springs. There were touring cars and limousines on two chassis of different lengths.

The 15 hp Mark II appeared as early as 1928 . The car was slightly larger than its predecessor.

The motor had also grown a little: the stroke was 5 mm larger. Thus the displacement was 1928 cm³.

Again there were chassis with two different wheelbases. In addition to the touring car and limousine, a roadster was also offered.

7206 copies of both models together were built. In 1934 the 17 hp Short / Standard replaced the 15 hp.
