Tata Nano is the greatest invention in the history of automobile industry worldwide. A car for Rs.1 Lakh is the headline and topic to be discussed in many forums. This car provides an opportunity to the Indian customers who are currently using a two wheeler and wanted to upgrade to four wheeler vehicles as it will provide a roof during the rainy season. Tata Nana is titled as the cheapest car ever made in the history of automobile.

While we were during endurance test on Tata Nano, one of the most interesting observations was that everyone in the road who was driving big cars, bikes and walking by foot used to stop by and watch the Tata Nano. This vehicle has already created such a brand value.

The mileage and the space provided by this car are fairly good. But there are some safety concerns about this car. As the engine is located behind the passenger seat, the seat gets heated after a long distance travel and also the wiring hardness of this car is not so good which means short-circuit may happen due to overheated. Also the engine is not reachable easily and it may be difficult in servicing the vehicle.

Tata Nano is quite stable up to 80 KMH and the head room and legroom of this car is better as compare to other cars in this segment. Tata Motors has proved their engineering capability by providing such a beautiful car in such a low price. Tata Nano has 3 variants in 6 different colors: Champagne Gold, Lunar Silver, Sunshine Yellow, Champagne Gold, Lunar Silver and Sunshine Yellow. The price starts from Rs.122,011 and highest variant price is Rs.181,263. For detail comparison of features, specification and prices of the 3 variants please refer to the below table:
