Tata GenX Nano Latest In Low-Cost Line Of Nano City Cars
Hitting showrooms Tuesday, Tata Motors announced its latest variant of the Nano city car: the GenX Nano.
Starting price for the four-passenger GenX ranges between Rs1.99 lakh ($3,000 USD) for the XE trim, to Rs2.89 lakh ($4,535) for the XTA model. Power comes from a 624cc two-cylinder with multi-point injection, and is good for around 38 horses and 38 lb-ft of torque. A four-speed manual and a five-speed “Easy Shift” automated manual route the power to the back, with the latter providing enhanced acceleration and traffic-friendly features.
Other features available include: smoked headlamps; 24-liter fuel tank for longer trips; electric power steering; 110 liters of luggage room; connected-vehicle system with Bluetooth, CD and USB/AUX ports; “SUV-like ground clearance”; and structural safety enhancements.
The GenX Nano will be on sale at all 450 Tata showrooms Tuesday, with the XE, XM, XT and XTA models available immediately; the XMA trim will arrive made-to-order beginning in August. Its competitors include the Hyundai Eon and Suzuki Alto.

Multi-point injection on a two cylinder? wow! double the injectors over throttle Body. Although I suspect some of the competition consumers are cross shopping are carburetor equipped.
This looks like a two-eyed version of the "Cyclops" car that Stan Mott drew for so many years.
