Old vs New Tata Nano GenX 2015 – Price, Mileage, Specs

Old vs New Tata Nano GenX Front

The Tata Nano, first launched in 2009, came with a tag of “world’s cheapest car” that actually went against the car’s desirability quotient and sales in India. Though the automaker kept refreshing the line-up at regular intervals, nothing worked for them. In 2014, the company introduced the eMax CNG and power steering trims (Twist). But, that too failed to pull-in more sales for the company.

In an attempt to increase appeal and desirability quotient of the car, the home-grown automaker brought-in all-new Nano GenX with AMT (automated manual transmission). Except for the CNG version, the new Nano GenX replaced the entire old Nano line-up. Aiming to get rid from the ‘cheap’ tag, Tata Motors is promoting the new Nano GenX under the ‘Smart City Car’ campaign and presenting it as a more premium and improved product in the market.

Now, let’s find out the changes that have been made to the new Tata Nano GenX 2015. Will the AMT gearbox and new updates allure the buyers?

The 2015 Nano GenX received significant cosmetic update, and the most noticieable one is the openable boot. Just so you know, the boot capacity is 110-litres. The car gets new smoke headlamps with black bezel and large circular fog lamps instead of the old petal-shaped headlights. It also features a piano black hood garnish, front and rear bumpers with Infinity motif grille and integrated tailgate spoiler.

The new Nano has a range of over 450kms, thanks to the increased fuel tank capacity (24-litres from 15-litres). The 2015 Nano GenX also gets a new Sangria Red color option, along with standard shades. While the old model had very simple and dull styling, the new model looks quite refreshing and sporty. Though, the updated version still retains the original design.
