DETAILS

• Model: NANO   
• Edition : L X2012 

               A vibrant range of colours, which includes a Papaya Orange and Rouge Red, loudly announces the fact that the Tata Nano has been given a makeover. But look beyond the ten new shades of paint it is hard to distinguish the new-for-2012 car from the earlier model. The only real exterior additions to the upgraded Nano are the plastic wheel caps and a passenger-side rear-view mirror, which is a very welcome and essential feature.A vibrant range of colours, which includes a Papaya Orange and Rouge Red, loudly announces the fact that the Tata Nano has been given a makeover.

           The very minute you open the door it becomes abundantly clear that Tata has paid heed to the  feedback of the people and worked hard to pump up the plain and dull interiors of the Nano.The LX model gets a beige dashboard with a silver-finish centre console .The seat fabric is beige too, and this really helps liven up the cabin.

              The rear-mounted engine not only improves efficiency but also dramatically improves safety. The engine is also associated with an exclusive engine control management unit that monitors the working of the engine and boost performance. The electronic system is Bosch's new Value Motronic system that is aimed at providing maximum functionality at minimum cost. The system works in conjunction with the sensors, injectors, and other significant hardware. For the first time a two cylinder engine is used in a car with single balancer shaft.

               The engine is further mated to a multi-point injection system and a 4-speed manual transmission. In addition, the McPherson strut suspension in the front and the rear independent coil spring helps improve handling and stability of the car. The Nano can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in about 29.78 seconds with a maximum speed of 105 km/h.

              But the best news of all is that Tata has not raised the prices for this updated Nano. The Nano Standard retails for Rs 1.4 lakh , the CX costs Rs 1.7 lakh and the top-end LX has been priced at Rs 1.96 lakhs.

            More upmarket, better to drive and all for the same low price, the Nano just got a whole lot more appealing.
