The Tatra 54 was the economy version of the mid-range type 52 that the Tatra factory in Nesselsdorf brought out in 1931 .

The vehicle had an overhead , air-cooled four-cylinder boxer engine with a displacement of only 1465 cm³ and an output of 22 hp (16.2 kW). The engine drove the rear wheels via a multi-plate dry clutch and a four-speed gearbox with center shift. The maximum achievable speed of the approx. 1100 kg heavy car was 80 km / h. The chassis had a central tube, a front axle with a transverse leaf spring in an improved version compared to the 30/52, and an articulated swing axle at the rear, also with a transverse leaf spring. The wheels were designed as disks.

There were different 4- and 6-seat sedan bodies with 2 or 4 doors. A total of 1510 copies were produced within 3 years.

The successor to this model was the Type 75 from 1933 .
