Tata Nano - What's in for 2013

Well! It's going to be a tough time for Tata to renovate their Tata Nano. Tata Nano 2012 changes has brought a slight change the way Indians look at Tata Nano. Tata is also very serious in evolving the all new Tata Nano for the Indian market!

What are the strategies taken by Tata to make nano evolve and catch the position of India's no.1 car!

*************************************************************************************

Hi All,

Its nice to see you back all with this post on the India's (sorry) world's cheapest car.

It's a known issue that criticism is one of the major factors that affect sales of Nano in the Indian Market. The reason is that Indian people unable to adopt Nano as a car since they have already accepted Tata Magic as their auto (Share-auto) even when they are from MUV segment (MUV - Multi Utility vehicle). When Tata Nano came up with the similar type of engine with resembling noise people isinterpreted Nano as an auto with Car body.

However the refined engine noise of 2012 which was far more better than Magic as well as old nano currently lifted up its face in sales and also people's opinion.

So it was the right time for Tata to bring up the brand name Nano in the Indian market.

How Tata is going to bring up its brand Nano after 2012 i.e., in 2013 is going to be our point of discussion.

Well! As per the updates we gathered about the next set of Tata Nanos are (i.e., Tata Nano 2013 and there after)

1. Tata Nano Diesel
2. Tata Nano CNG
3. Tata Nano 800

Tata Nano Diesel:

Diesel variant of Tata Nano is a known news and already they are manufactured and by the year end they are expected to hit the roads. The specs that was expected was 700CC Dicor engine (exact small version of Tata Safari Engine).

Tata Nano CNG:

It is one another version that was released in Auto Expo 2012 as a concept car. However not sure if there is an requirement for an CNG version of car which is again ultra cheap Tata ould surely consider bring it up to the market. Speculation is that CNG version will be combined with next version of Tata Nano i.e., Nano 800.

Tata Nano 800:

In India, the most successful small cars are loaded with the 800cc engine (M800, Omni, Alto...) and the Nano will soon join the team with its similar 3 cylinder engine but with the better power and torque. It s also hyped that this version will be released on 2013 along with the Diesel version of Nano.

Whatever be the new releases the New Tata Nano 2012 sounds pretty good to me!!!

Cheers!!!

13 Reasons why Tata Nano is better than M800A/C

Tata Nano LX vs Maruti 800AC

2.37 Lacs
2.47 Lacs

2. Fuel Efficiency
24Kmpl
16Kmpl

3. Engine capacity per cylinder
312cc
265.3cc

4. Engine Compression Ratio
9.5:1
8.8:1

5. Size of the Car
3099*1495*1652
3335*1440*1405

6. Power Steering

7. Power to Weight Ratio
35Bhp for 635Kgs
37Bhp for 683Kgs

8. Fog Lamps
Yes
No

9. Central Locking
Yes
No

10. Tyres
Front: 135*70; Rear: 155*65
Front and Rear: 145*70

11. Ground Clearance
180mm
170mm

12. Turning Radius
4m
4.4m

13. Metallic colors + Flashy colors
Yes
No

Hope the Points mentioned above are clear to all. However I would like to give some clarity on some of the points mentioned above.

· Engine Capacity – Higher the engine capacity of cylinder higher the output power

· Compression ration and Power to weight ratio – more or less similar. Both specify the pulling power of the cars.

· Tyres: Nano has smaller tyres in the front which assures good turning radius and swifter driving in city traffic conditions. Also the broader the rear tyres ensure stability at high speeds. M800 has same set of tyres in front and back which would cause over steering very easily.

Conclusion: The points portrayed speak only about the points in which Nano beats M800; it doesn’t means that Nano is better than M800 in all means. In short, both are best in their own way.

Cheers

Tata Nano - Not like the rest, to be honest best too...

Tata Nano - world's familiar car name for being the cheapest car in the world. The Euro ncap rating of 4 has added up overwhelming expectations too...

( it is to be noted that i10, swift also have rating of 4 and alto has just 3 in a scale of 5 for Euro ncap)

The Tata Nano carries a engine which is as small as that of a share auto in cities. it is just .2 litres smaller than Alto. so its right to compare it with the Alto.

Alto is a small car however Nano is a well built share auto says many. but its not so. Tata is very careful in building the car too but due to the cost efficiency limitation they cant build a better car rather than this.

it is also to be noted that alto has better length then nano however the width and height makes us to feel alto a cramped one.

also it is not worthy to compare alto with nano. so lets compare it with the premium commuter motorcycles say honda cbr250r, huh! that means stupid but should think of cbr250r with 5 seats and having a roof. cool hun! ( just for fun)

the real comparitive vehicle for nano is a 3 wheeler auto rickshaw which costs more than 1.5lacs same to nano. so what? nano gives you better deal for loans too!

The 35bhp and 48nm torque makes the car the best companion for beginners in indian city traffic, alto has 46bhp and 62nm torque.

My suggestion is Tata Nano is not the one which has to be neglected instead a masterpiece of technology at its best. Rather than criticising it stand in the neutral part and evaluate the car you will understand.

Hats off!!! TATA...
