Tata Nano Features, Price, and Specification 2021

The Tata Nano is a compact city car that was manufactured and marketed by Indian automaker Tata Motors over a single generation, primarily in India, as an inexpensive rear-engine hatchback intended to appeal to current riders of motorcycles and scooters — with a launch price of one lakh rupees on 10 January 2008. Early instances of the Nano catching fire or the perception of the car being unsafe and lacking quality due to cost-cutting. Actual sales reached 7,591 for the model year 2016-2017. 

In 2017, Tata Motors said manufacturing would continue due to the company’s emotional commitment to the project. Production was eventually halted in May 2018.

The Tata Nano’s latest prices fall in the bracket of Rs 2.26 lakh – Rs 3.20 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The most affordable car in India is available in five variants – XE, XM, XMA, XT and XTA.

Variants: Tata Nano has five variants compatible with Petrol, one variant in CNG and the first version of the car uses diesel as fuel. Tata is thinking to launch also an electric version of this particular car model; a prototype was presented in The Geneva Motor Show, 2010.

About GenX Nano:

In May 2015, to revive the model’s sales, Tata Motors proposed a redesign both in- and outside the car. The name was changed to GenX Nano to underline the changes; the range was offered in 21 different versions, among them a 5-speed automated manual transmission. Electric power steering, air conditioning, and Bluetooth radio were available on top models in addition to new colors and alloy wheels. The body was strengthened and the front and rear bumpers were changed, which slightly increased the length to 3,164 millimeters. The interior was also redesigned with new fabrics and improved soundproofing. The rear opening door and the 5-seat homologation were introduced. The engine remained the 2-cylinder 624 cc (38.1 cu/in) with 38 hp.

Tata Nano CNG e-max (Bi-fuel)

The Nano CNG e-max was launched in October 2013. It could run on either gasoline or compressed natural gas. Initially, it was to be sold in Delhi and parts of Maharashtra and Lucknow, where CNG was available at fuel outlets. The bi-fuel engine was powered by both CNG and petrol. In natural gas operation, the engine delivered maximum power of 33 horsepower and 45 Nm of maximum torque. The tank had a capacity of 32 liters (8 US Gal/7 UK Gal) of CNG.

Tata Super Nano

In December 2014, Coimbatore-based JA Motorsport presented a 230 hp 1.3-liter engine version of the Nano called the ‘Super Nano’ at the Autocar Performance Show. Featuring a full body kit, slick tyres, a bolt-on roll cage, and smoked head and tail lamps, the Super Nano featured carbon fibre components, Recaro seats, and steering mounted paddle shifters.

 

Fires & Reports:

There were reports of several fire incidents involving the Nano. The company denied those were connected to the car’s design or its parts and blamed “foreign electrical equipment” found on top of the exhaust system. The company offered to retrofit the exhaust and electrical systems but refused to recall the cars. Tata extended the warranty on the car, including those already sold, from 18 months to four years in early December 2010.

The Nano received a mixed reception from Indian consumers; reasons given included that it was still too expensive compared to a motorcycle, and the extended waiting time for delivery (a few months). Although it was identified as the most affordable car, a secondhand car that was more expensive when it was new gave more social status; the Nano was considered a “poor man’s” vehicle, turning some people away. The fires and other safety issues were also a concern. Tata Motors ended FY16 selling 21,012 Nanos, up from 16,901 in FY15.

Latest production of Tata Nano was in FY 2017-18 April to October with 1502 cars.
