The Tata Nano is one of the most unique cars in India’s automobile history. It was launched by Tata Motors with the vision of giving every middle-class family an affordable car. When it was introduced, it was called the “People’s Car” because of its low price and simple design.
Design and Looks
The Tata Nano was a compact hatchback with a small and cute design. It had a tall body style that gave good headroom inside the cabin. Despite being small in size, the car had enough space for four passengers. Its design was simple yet practical for Indian roads.
Features
The Nano was built as a budget-friendly car, so it came with basic features. It had comfortable seating, power steering in higher variants, air-conditioning, and good fuel efficiency. Though it did not have luxury features, it was enough for daily use and city driving.
Engine and Mileage
Tata Nano had a 624cc two-cylinder petrol engine. It was not very powerful but was designed for city rides. The best part was its mileage – the car could give around 23–25 km per litre, which made it very economical.
