Power department remains untouched as it embraces the same 0.6 liter 2-cylinder MPFI engine that produces 38.19 PS and 51Nm of peak torque, mated to 4-speed manual transmission. The AMT transmission option is the same set of equipment being imported from Magentti Marelli. Nano GenX AMT claims fuel economy of 21.9kmpl.
At the starting price tag of Rs. 1.99 lacs, this vehicle from Nano has already taken a pie of share from its counterparts Maruti Alto 800 and Hyundai Eon, coming months would reveal more about its impact.
