The NSU 10/22 PS was a middle class passenger car that Neckarsulmer Fahrzeugwerke Aktiengesellschaft built in 1910 and 1911. It was the successor to the 10/20 PS .

As with its predecessor, the water-cooled engine was a four-cylinder block engine with a displacement of 2608 cm³ (bore × stroke = 85 × 115 mm), but which now produced 22 hp (16 kW) at 1400 rpm. This engine had a triple bearing crankshaft, magneto ignition , automatic central lubrication and upright valves in a T-cylinder head. The 65 liter fuel tank was in the back. The fuel was conveyed through the exhaust gases, with part of the exhaust gases being led into the tightly closed tank, creating a slight overpressure there and thus ensuring that the fuel flowed forward to the carburetor. The engine power was transmitted to the rear wheels via a multi-disc clutch in an oil bath, a four-speed gearbox with a link shift on the right and a cardan shaft . The wheelbase of the cars had grown by 10 mm to 3030 mm, their track width was unchanged at 1300 mm and the weight of the chassis was now 850 kg. The top speed was still around 75 km / h.

In 1911 the more powerful 10/30 hp replaced the model.
