Tata Motors showcased the Tata Nano Europa which is intended for a future launch in select international markets at the 79th Geneva Motor Show.
The Nano Europa encompasses additional features as compared to the car destined for India in order to make it more suitable for European driving conditions as well as meet European regulations.
Speaking on the occasion at the Geneva Motor Show, Ratan Tata, Chairman of Tata Sons and Tata Motors, said, "In India, the Nano will be launched on March 23, and the cars will be on display at company dealerships from the first week of April. The Nano has also generated wide interest in developed countries, since it's unveiling in Delhi and its presentation here last year. We are delighted to present the Nano Europa for future launch in such markets."
As compared to the version destined for India, the Nano Europa comes with a slightly longer wheelbase of 2.28 metres which marginally increases interior space. However unlike India, the Europa will come fitted with a 3 cylinder all aluminium MPFI engine mated to a 5 speed automatic gearbox.
The car will also have electric power steering. Tata promises that the Nano Europa, despite the larger engine, will continue to be extremely environmentally friendly and offer extremely low CO2 emissions - somewhere in the league of 100gm per kilometer. Safety has been increased on the Europa by offering the car with ABS, ESP and airbags.
Just like the Tata Nano, the Tata Nano Europa incorporates exterior compactness with interior comfort and seeks to provide motorists the pleasure and utility of personal mobility combined with affordability and environmentfriendliness , in a world where smaller, fuel-efficient cars are emerging as a preferred choice.
