TATA Motors is all set to launch the 2014 Nano. And this one is to come with a Power Steering. Finally, Tata Motors, which had dropped to the fourth position and may drop to the fifth too if not jack up it's products and performance soon, reportedly developed a low cost power steering with Bosch. [cheers]

Nano with with a power steering will be a wonder in this world, as the older one was difficult to drive, will be a breeze especially for ladies who love to drive small cars. [clap]

That's a welcome move, but it's unlikely to help the list cause of Nano.TATA needs to bring in a new Nano with new design and engine.

Re: Tata Nano 2014 To Be Equipped With Power Steering

I think TATA should plan a little lengthier Nano. Also with the new 800 cc engine they should plan to move the engine to the front. This will lead to change in people's perspective as many think rear engined engineering as obsolete and carries some stigma with it. They associate it with the Autorikshaw. Hence TML should give it a thought.

Re: Tata Nano 2014 To Be Equipped With Power Steering

I agree with the post above.
If things are going like this Nano doesn't have any advantage .
Neither a VFM car,nor a beauty, and not loved by many.
The best chance is to use it to replace autos.But that also is not possible because of Tata Iris .
Another way out would be to go electric,with a little bit of cosmetic update.

Re: Tata Nano 2014 To Be Equipped With Power Steering

More details pour-in.
Cartoq managed to gather some info in the last couple of days:

-The Tata Nano’s power steering is built by German autoparts maker ZF.
-The power steering is a full-electric unit.
-The decision to use a full-electric power steering on the Nano was taken after considering the fuel efficiency benefits that such a unit would deliver.
-Also, the electric power steering will reduce the load on the car’s 623 cc petrol engine.
-A hydraulic power steering was dropped for this very reason.
-The electric power steering on the Nano is a low cost unit, costing about 6,000 rupees.
-Therefore, expect a nominal price increase of about 10,000-15,000 rupees on the power steering equipped Nano.
-Actual production and deliveries of the Nano equipped with a power steering will begin only in March-April 2014.

-By the end of next year, the Nano is likely to be sold in petrol, CNG and diesel guises, giving the entry-level hatchback buyer plenty of choice.
-A bigger, 800cc engine is also being considered for the petrol engined Nano.

Re: Tata Nano 2014 To Be Equipped With Power Steering

No, Apart from the engine noise and boot space, there is no major issue in the Nano...
The styling has to remain the same and is quite cute and good looking!
Increasing the engine size requires a slight increase in size, which you can see from the pics.
The arrangement of RWD rear engine car has helped in liberating whole lot of space inside which is the trump card of the Nano! So the layout has to remain the same...
And last but not the least, the new Nano will come with disc brakes at front, which makes it better, adding to the safety quotient, given that it had already scored 4 stars in crash tests, whereas the Alto K10 scored 0! Only thing needed is an opening hatch boot and better noise insulation!

Re: Tata Nano 2014 To Be Equipped With Power Steering

I think TM is doing a great job with improvements & I already know 2-3 people who were earlier not even thinking about Nano & are now planning to buy it due to such added features!

if TM is persistent with their product they may still hit success now especially given that the original 2009 product had flaws & now has slowly improved till date!

Re: Tata Nano 2014 To Be Equipped With Power Steering

old nano second hand value will come down....
waiting to buy one.
new nano for 2.5L with or without power steering does not worth for that price.
Please excuse guys.
2 year old top end nano 15000 kms done for 80000 to 90000k is a worth buy.
Sorry nano owners.

Do you know any car in the nano price range which comes with or is coming with a diesel heart ??? Whenever it comes it will be first in segment .
Storme was late only because the market has many options . Regarding nano there is no competition.
Plus its always better to test the car fully before bringing it to the market .

Nano has not pass any NCAP test to get any ratings . But it has passed the European safety test with flying colors . And you are right its safer ,more spacious then alto.
