Our Verdict
The first economical, budget car of India, with the Nano, Tata has cracked it, in terms of costing, practicality, fuel-efficiency, frugal engine, sufficiently spacious and perfect for city and crowded roads. This value for money, 4-wheeler, is an almost fuss-free vehicle which is good for short-haul highway driving too. A convenient hatchback, and there is nothing that the car really lacks in, in terms of features. But it does have its downside in terms of engine power, drivability, space and low resale value. Globally, it is the cheapest car that is available to date and definitely a valiant attempt that is Made in India.
