Tata Nano Competitor Analysis The chief competitor of the Tata Nano is the Maruti 800 and with the speculated re-launch of the Maruti 800 the competition is expected to intensify in the coming future. The Nano has more interior space as compared to the Maruti 800 and thus serves the purpose of being a highly useful small car. On comparing the petrol variants of Tata Nano and Maruti 800, it is clear that the price of Nano is slightly lesser than that of the Maruti 800. Speaking of the fuel economy, Nano delivers an impressive 26 kmpl average on highways and a 22 km/l average on the city roads. On the other hand, Maruti 800 just offers a mileage slightly above 16 kmpl on highways.Nano provides a complete package with the warranty of 48 month or 60,000 km, which is highly appreciated by the people who own this car. On the other hand, Maruti 800 does not provide any such warranty. Having a top speed of 144 kmph, Maruti 800 surpasses Nano. In terms of engine displacement also, Maruti takes a lead with higher engine displacement of 796cc. Tata Nano stays low in the engine department when compared to the Maruti 800, with a mere engine displacement of 624cc.So it is pretty clear that both these models are equally loaded with the performance centric features that target a particular segment of car buyers in India. These features when thoroughly accessed and compared, Nano being a new model has been worked upon to overthrow the market monopoly of the existing Maruti 800.Tata Nano LPG/CNG version Presently, there is no information regarding the LPG/CNG version. However, it is speculated that Tata Motors is planning to incorporate LPG/CNG Kit in the Nano, which will help reduce the running cost to around 40%. Tata nano Pros New Tata Nano has some goodness to stick with, for instance, it is a small car and very easy to park. The new Tata Nano renders superb fuel economy and its price range is the most tempting feature. Tata Nano ConsNothing is perfect in this world and the new Tata Nano is no exception. The new Tata Nano has some negative aspects too, which makes its customer raise their noses. Tata Motors really need to take care of the power, and stability of the car.The fuel tank should also be enhanced in order to make it a better car. Tata Nano ConclusionTata Nano is a car, which has incarnated as the blessing to fulfil the wishes all the individual who ever wanted to drive a car but was unable to afford it. Before Nano, the cars where made only for those who belong either to elite class or to upper creamy level middle class. Tata Nano came as a revolution and proved a blessing fulfilled for the middle class people. It is a historical car too as it is the first car in the history of Indian automarket to feature 2-cylinder engine. Thanks to the Nano that bourgeois class people can now drive a car, which has charismatic exterior and comfortable interior.
