Pre Launch Review:
The price, mileage and maintenance cost are the reasons that anyone look for Tata Nano and it will be less compared to other diesel hatchback in India. So its Economical for Sure!
But Tata Motors should give a serious thought to engine refinement and quality issues that we normally see in Tata Cars. As Tata has solved most of its issues with Nano 2012 launch (in addition to adding more features), we can expect a better car for its Diesel avatar.
So will the Nano Diesel be the next Big Small Wonder that every Indian awaits?
