Tata has listened to existing customer feedback carefully, and come up with a slew of improvements on the 2012 Nano. So, what's new?
• A little more power (3 BHP), torque (3 Nm) and a slightly higher revv limit
• Overall gearing is taller. As a result, a better ARAI fuel-efficiency rating of 25.4 kpl & lower emissions too
• Beige interiors & silver center console for the LX variant
• Additional bolstering on the seats. Fabric seats, even on the CX variant (previously vinyl). New design for the front seat neck restraints (head rests)
• Beige-black door pads for the LX. Beige trim on the A & B pillars!
• Rear seat backrest height has been raised for better back & shoulder support
• Full wheel covers
• Passenger-side ORVM. Available as an accessory for existing owners
• Single pull strap to flip the rear seat down (instead of two straps of the older car)
• Beefed up NVH insulation
• A suspension that rides a tad softer
• An anti-roll bar at the front end
• Some improvements to the steering response & exhaust note (still sounds like a rickshaw at idle though)
• Booster-assisted braking added to the base variant
• JK Tyres (instead of the ol' noisy MRFs). At least on our test car
• New colour options
