The 2012 model year Nano was revealed by Tata Motors, yesterday. Its design remains the same, but the engine, for example, received a lot of improvements.
It now features a 624 cc powerplant that produces 3 extra horsepower and 3 Nm of torque, so now it can deliver 38 horsepower and 51 Nm of torque. This way is capable of reaching a top speed of 105 km/h. The fuel consumption indicates 4.08 l/100 km and so, it decreases from 4.23 l/100 km, while the CO2 emissions reach a 92.7 g/km level. Analyzing the numbers we can say that this is a car combines power and performance in a very harmonious way.
These sets of changes are not everything. The carmaker also worked at the suspension set-up, the steering system and offered extra power-assisted brakes to all models. The team is proud to admit the fact that they have also added new options in terms of colors.
Tata tried to make this model part of the "affordable car" category. Even though its price starts from $2.730 US, the company only managed to sell 130.000 units since its launch.
