The first Austin 15 hp had a side-controlled four-cylinder in-line engine with 89 mm bore diameter and 102 mm stroke, which resulted in a displacement of 2539 cc. In 1909 it was the smallest four-cylinder model in the Austin range. Only the 1-cylinder Austin 7 was even smaller.

There were chassis with two different wheelbases, but their size was also at the lower end of the model range. The cars were built in this form until 1910.
