The GenX Nano is priced at Rs 1.99 lakh for the 4-speed manual variant and Rs 2.69 lakh for the 5-speed AMT variant, deliveries will start from today itself.
Several new additions, standard across the range, include an open-able bootlid and a larger 24-litre fuel tank as opposed to the previous generation’s 15-litre capacity. Cosmetic changes include re-designed front & rear bumpers with an ‘Infinity-motif’ grille design, round front fog lamps, smoked headlamps and a new rear windshield.
Key interior changes on the inside now include a 3-spoke steering wheel borrowed from the Zest, better quality inserts for the center console and new trims for the doors and seats. Equipment includes electronic power steering, air conditioner and heater, front power windows, central automated locking and a music system that provides Bluetooth, AUX, USB connectivity and 4 speakers.
The major highlight on the GenX Nano is the addition of AMT gearbox which is marketed as ‘Easy Shift’. Powering the GenX Nano is the same rear-mounted 624cc twin cylinder petrol engine offering 38 PS power and 51 Nm torque and offered in both manual and AMT variants.
