‘Nano Twist’ with power steering to be Rs. 15k costlier than Nano Lx – Engine remains same, Launch on 15th January, 2014

Tata Motors has already added few new variants to the portfolio of the cheapest Indian car Nano this year and the manufacturer is not much happy with the success of Nano in 2013. The rumour about Tata launching a power steering variant of the Nano has spread over the web like a virus and it is the hot topic currently. To break the suspense, Autocar has revealed that Tata is likely to launch a new variant of Nano with the name ‘Nano Twist’ and it would carry power steering.

The demand for the ‘smaller car’ has been declining over period of time relatively. This year, the sales of Nano series have fallen further and it made Tata to rethink about finding ways for encouraging the sales again. In this process, Tata has recently unveiled the CNG variant of the model that was dubbed into the market as ‘Nano eMax’. Now, it s reported that a power steering variant of the Nano is going to be unveiled on 15th of January next year and it is going to be called as the ‘Nano Twist’.

As per the information, Nano Twist is going to be the top end variant of Nano series and thus we can expect some additional features with the upcoming model for better comfort and handling. The price of the 2014 Nano is expected to be more than Rs. 15000 costlier than the current top end variant of Nano. There might not be many cosmetic changes in the upcoming Nano Twist when compared with the recently unveiled edition. The engine too might remain unaltered and thus we could expect the Nano Twist to get powered with a 624 CC petrol engine that is capable of generating around 38 PS at the peak along with 51 Nm of torque.

Tata Nano

Tata is currently selling around 1600 units of Nano variants in the Indian market and this is much less than that of the sales recorded earlier. It is also informed that Tata Motors is looking forward to launch another variant of Nano in the month of August, 2014 and the respective Nano is going to consist open able hatch on the rear.
