The legendary Tata Nano has an amazing return on the horizon, this time as an electric model set to change the game in cost-effective electric travel in India. Priced between Rs. 6-9 lakh, the Nano EV intends to bring electric rides into the mainstream complete with standout attributes and a considerable driving range.
Style and Looks
The Nano EV keeps its cool small shape but adds some new style bits. It measures up at 3164mm long, 1750mm wide, and scoots over bumps with 180mm of ground clearance, so it’s still a breeze to zip around city streets. On the outside, you’ve got snazzy LED daytime running lights bright halogen headlights, and LED rear lights that make it look super slick. Inside, there’s room for four to sit without feeling squished, and the leg space is pretty good too. For a cozy ride, the seats have soft fabric covers and there’s a put-together dash with a dashboard that’s part digital. Even with its small size, you don’t lose out on space for your stuff, coz there’s a 94-liter boot to cram your groceries in, which is pretty sweet for a little city car.
Tech and Stuff
The Nano EV boasts up-to-date features demanded by current shoppers. You get a 7-inch touchscreen entertainment setup that hooks up with Bluetooth and blasts tunes through six speakers. Steering comes easy with power assistance, windows roll down at the push of a button, and you tweak the temp with a manual air system to stay cozy. On the safety side, the ride’s packed with a couple of airbags in front, a brake system with ABS and EBD, and gadgets to help you back up without a hitch.
Power and How Far You’ll Go
The Nano EV stands out because of its electric guts. This ride packs a 17 kWh battery that lets you drive up to 300 kilometers after just one charge. You can zoom to a max of 80 km/h and go from zero to 100 km/h in less than 10 seconds making the Nano EV solid for city trips. The car comes with a liquid-cooled thermal setup and IP67 defense against water and dirt for its motor and battery making sure it runs smooth no matter the weather. Plus, it’s got this CCS2 plug thingy for juicing it up and a cool system that takes the energy you lose when braking and turns it back into power.
