Tata Motors today announced the launch of the new Nano Twist, a new addition to the Nano range. The new Nano Twist, will now allow hassle-free and relaxed driving in city traffic with the new first-in-class Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) system, designed for easy manoeuvring in tight driving and parking situations. A new signature Damson Purple colour, with chrome accents, new sporty interiors with new fabrics and stunning in-car features, make the Nano Twist an exciting car to drive.
Experience Zigzagness
The new Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) system comprises of a steering column-mounted brushless motor and an ECU (Electronic Control Unit), which helps the driver steer the Nano Twist with ease, regardless of the road conditions. The brushless motor used, also improves robustness of the internal components of the Nano Twist’s EPAS system. The new EPAS system also allows the driver to fully utilise the Nano’s class-leading, lowest turning circle radius of 4 metres. The EPAS in the Nano Twist has an ‘Active Return’ feature – which returns the steering wheel back to its straight-ahead position, as soon as the wheel is released. This is achieved by providing a calibrated return torque through the system. This self-centering action gives drivers confidence and stability at higher speeds thus delivering a great drive experience in city traffic.
The Nano Twist is powered by a 624cc, multi-point fuel injected, water cooled, naturally aspirated, 2 cylinder gasoline engine with 2 valves per cylinder, mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. The engine produces 38PS power, 51 Nm torque. The Nano continues to remain as the most fuel efficient petrol car, as the Nano range offers a fuel efficiency of 25.4 kmpl, as certified by the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI).
Experience Trendiness
The new Nano Twist has been updated with more trendy features. A new look instrument cluster, now houses a trip computer and a new driver information systems, with a bright daytime and night-time Amber display and digital clock. The cluster houses new features – distance to empty (DTE), average fuel efficiency (AFE) readouts, an LED fuel gauge and a coolant temperature gauge. The Nano Twist is also loaded with features like remote keyless entry, twin glove boxes, and a four-speaker AmphiStream™ music system with Bluetooth™, USB and auxiliary connectivity. All these features ensure the customer is well connected with the car at all times.
Experience Wowness
The new Nano Twist comes with new design elements which further accentuates the brand’s uniqueness. A new gearshift console ensures better accessibility to the power assist driver and passenger window switches.
