Tata has confirmed the launch date of its Twist, new variant of Nano. Tata will launch this new Nano Twist on January 13, 2014 in Mumbai. As we reported earlier the new model will come with power-steering. Heavy Steering of the current Nano is the biggest complaint from the customers. So the heavy steering is replaced by the Power steering which is developed by the German Automotive component manufacturer, ZF.
The new car will get the same 624cc, twin cylinder engine which can deliver maximum power output of 37.4 bhp. The engine is mated to four speed manual gear box .Nano Twist will be sold at a price of Rs15000 more than the standard model. The power steering will be the first mechanical upgrade for the Tata Nano since its launch.
Currently Nano is available in five variants of both petrol and CNG. The variants of Tata Nano are Nano STD, Nano CX, Nano LX, Nano CNG CX, Nano CNG LX. All these variants have 0.6-litre petrol engine which can churn out maximum power of 37.4bhp and a peak torque of 51Nm. The engine system is coupled with a 4-speed manual transmission.
