Tata Still Betting Big On Nano, Plans New Variants In 2015

Tata Motors shuns reports stating phasing out of the Nano. They plan to launch new variants of the Nano in order to boost its sales.

The Tata Nano was Mr. Ratan Tata’s dream project. But the project faced hurdles since day one including shifting of plant from Singur in West Bengal to Sanand in Gujarat. The car was launched in 2009 and the company true to its promise priced it at Rs. 1,00,000/- (ex-factory). However the car didn’t get the response that Tata Motors had hoped for. Tata also admitted that the company made a mistake of advertising the car as the “cheapest car” in the world. In a country where people are extremely bothered about their image, no one wanted to be seen in the “cheapest car”.
So in order to boost the sales of the Tata Nano, the automaker has come up with a new strategy. Tata Motors plans to introduce new variants of the vehicle. They launched the Nano Twist in 2014 and plan to launch the Nano AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) version soon. The Nano AMT might be a success considering the fact that traffic in metropolitan cities has become worse in the past few years and people are slowly shifting towards auto-transmission cars. The Nano with its small footprint and decent pricing might be the choice of urban families as a city runabout.

TATA NANO TWIST F-Tronic

So finally it took 5 years for TATA to add open-able hatch door in the nano, but still there engineers have not get any clue on how to get glove boxes pre build in dash board, they are still relying on screw fix glove boxes like came on auto rikshaw but wait we do not know when this version going to be launched. Any ways this car's sale are on its end even AMT can't save her.

Showroom-ready Tata Nano Twist Active F-Tronic XTA variant spotted – Spied



Most expensive variant of the Nano yet.
Team-BHP reader //M has posted pictures of the Tata Nano F-Tronic XTA variant that gives an appearance that it was being driven out of a showroom. The car’s yet to be announced formally, but the production readiness of the car here*insinuates that the introduction is close by.

The Tata Nano Twist Active XTA, going by the current variant hierarchy, would be the top-end variant.
Tata Motors showcased the F-Tronic and Twist Active as concept cars at the Auto Expo 2014. The F-Tronic is Tata’s terminology for AMT, Twist for power steering, while the Active is the suffix to underline the functional tailgate. The AMT, a Magneti Marelli unit, is available on the Zest, apart from the Celerio and K10.
Also seen on this prototype (and observed on the Expo concepts) are the new bumper and rear spoiler. The front-end presumably gets the smoked headlamps and the smiley-type bumper with new foglamps and honeycomb grille.

A new steering wheel, gear lever and interior trim are the expected interior changes.
Test prototypes caught earlier were sporting updates to the interior such as a ‘woody’ panel on the center console and new trims. The concept was decked further with a new three-spoke steering wheel, gear lever (even on the manual) and a larger fuel tank with 24L capacity, which could also filter down into the series Nano.

Like in the last two years, the new upgrades could roll out under the 2015 model-year program.

@gaddambhargavareddy thanks for the pictures
From the above images overall dimension looks same, Increased black border on rear door glass looks too much, they have added rear hatch opening but door latch looks awkward. Back looks like face TATA logo as "TILAKA" key fob as "NOSE" and latch as "MOUTH". One thing is good they covered the engine this time but this makes rear bumper bigger and car looks swelled from back.

Have they changed the size of the tyres as well? Good to hear that the fuel tank capacity is 24 litres now. This means less visit to the petrol pumps.

2015 Tata Nano Active Twist AMT XTA Launch Soon



The Tata Nano is one such vehicle that has under-performed by a huge margin in the Indian auto market. Launched in 2009, the vehicle received a lukewarm response and even though the automaker kept making improvements to the hatchback in terms of small updates, there was no real rise in sales. Tata Motors is currently readying the new Nano Twist Active AMT and this model will come with a refreshed look, new colours and most importantly, an AMT gearbox. The new model of this cute little hatchback has been spied on the Pune-Bangalore highway (NH4) by MotorBeam reader Bhalchandra Sawant and in Ahmedabad by reader Sunay Saraf.
The 2015 Tata Nano Active Twist AMT will be powered by the same 624cc MPFI naturally-aspirated, twin-cylinder engine that belts out 38 PS of power and 51 Nm of torque. The engine will now be mated to an AMT gearbox that is a similar Magneti Marelli unit that is also used on the Zest compact sedan. Apart from this, the updated Nano will get new bumpers at the front and rear, fog lamps, smoked head lights and a chrome strip at the front. The rear will also see a new boot lid. The interiors of the new Nano will remain largely unchanged apart from new seat covers that will match the exteriors.
The Tata Nano Twist Active AMT will be the cheapest automatic car available in India. The vehicle also excels at providing good fuel economy and its compact dimensions make it a hoot to drive in the crowded city. The Nano offered with an AMT will be a very good package at a reasonable cost. The Maruti Celerio and Alto K10 also come with AMT boxes but these are costlier than the Nano. As of now, Tata sells the Nano priced between Rs. 1.97-2.52 lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi) so the new model with AMT will be pricier by at least Rs. 30,000/-.

Re: Tata Nano Twist Active AMT Spied

I was hoping that the new Nano Twist Active came with a little more power, either from a slightly larger engine or a small turbo installed. I am using a Twist XT since Aug'14 and find the power adequate for driving in city or town roads, but out on the highway the acceleration is lacking for good progress, unless we use the gears a lot more. But I think, a new engine or new development for the turbo would have added too much cost and hence the company is continuing with the same engine.

I just hope that the company is atleast giving the Active a 5-speed gear box with more evenly spaced gear-ratios. That would help the car perform better in the absence of any additional power. The current 4-speed gear box has an over-driven 4th gear, which restricts it's acceleration abilities in that gear. The car can do 40 kmph in 4th gear, but the acceleration from 40 to 60 kmph is very slow in 4th gear. So a 5-speed gear box will help in bridging the huge gap between the 3rd & the over-driven 4th gear ratios in the current car.
