FactTata launched the Nano at 100,000 rupees, about $2,500, and never came close to the 250,000-a-year sales it projected.
A city car / microcar built by Tata Motors from 2008 to 2018, sold mainly in India as an inexpensive economy car for motorcycle and scooter riders, with a launch price of ₹100,000 (US$2,500) on 10 January 2008. It has a rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout and was initially a four-door saloon with no rear cargo opening; a five-door GenX Nano hatchback with a five-speed AMT came in 2015. Tata projected 250,000 a year at launch, which was not achieved. Styled by Justyn Norek of the I.DE.A Institute.
