Tata Nano gets Major Twist – Power Steering, CNG variant and Improved AC

The least expensive car on the planet is back again with a redesign. The new Tata Nano is all set to hit Indian market on January 15, 2014. New Nano to be named as Nano Twist comes with a power steering. Nano holds a special place in Tata motors and that’s the reason company has gone all out to give this small car much convenience and comfort through advanced features.

Gets Power Steering

The power steering wheel is developed by ZF Friedrichshafen and this new car will cost just 15000 INR more, which is bit higher than the old Nano. This Nano twist is especially a boon to women. Nano sales have not been up to the mark, it has been selling 1600 units monthly. Tata Nano car might be the vehicle with which it can strike gold but the potential is still unexplored.

Petrol and CNG variants

Nano is offered in five variants across petrol and CNG fuel trims – Tata Nano STD, Tata Nano CX, Tata Nano LX, Tata Nano CNG CX, and Tata Nano CNG LX. All these variants are mated to a 0.6-liter petrol engine which belts out a power output of 37.4 BHP and a peak torque performance of 51Nm. They are coupled with a 4-speed manual transmission. This is a segment which can perform better if the price range is as cheap as it gets but Tata says that he did not name the car cheap.
