Not just the cheapest, the Nano has also been dubbed as the 'people car'. The first batch of cars, as promised, has and is being delivered at Rs 1 Lakh. The second batch and thereafter, however, will bear the slightly heavier price tag. Of late, the Nano was the topic of discussions because of the fire accidents. Even after passing the stringent safety tests, the car appeared to be having flaws that were hard to determine. Luckily, a second test was conducted and all seemed fine with the Tata Nano. Though there's no recall, the car maker will be replacing the fuel pipes as an advanced safety measure.
The conceptualization of the Nano was a highly refined idea. Stressing on innovation and a new design outlook, the Nano was designed at the Institute of Development in Automotive Engineering, Italy. Ever since the car hit the Indian roads, it has been a matter of talk and the Nano has enough fame. The little car is available in Standard, Deluxe, and Luxury variants. The Deluxe and the Luxury variants have the AC and body-coloured bumpers. Alloy wheels, fog lamps, and ICE are the other features of the Luxury variant. Also to be noted, the Nano has 21 per cent space inside it and 8 per cent smaller exterior compared to the iconic Maruti 800.
