GenX Nano is developed from Tata Nano with an automated manual transmission and a fifth door (open-able hatch).

History

Tata Motors launched Tata Nano in 2008 as the most affordable production car in the world, Tata aimed for a price of one lakh rupees ( ₹100,000) which was approximately $2,500 US at the time. A 2008 study, by Indian rating agency CRISIL projected that Nano would expand the Indian car market by 65%. However, sales for Tata Nano failed to take off and in 2015, GenX Nano was launched with the aim to revive the Nano brand and position it as a more up-market product.[1][4][5]

Variants

GenX Nano comes in five variants, XE, XM, XMA, XT and XTA. Overall dimensions, engine, transmission, suspension, steering and brakes are the same in all variants. The key differences are in the car features.[3]
