Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The Nano is known as the one _____ car, the Indian term for 100,000.

Answer: lakh

The US$2500 price tag did not include a 12.5% value-added tax or any other charges. The idea for the Nano originated in 2003.

2. What is the displacement of the Nano?

Answer: 623cc

The Nano's 623cc 33-horsepower engine is in the rear. To put this in perspective, a kei-car (Japanese microcar) is limited to 660cc and 63 horsepower.

3. Where was the production car first revealed?

Answer: New Delhi

The Nano was first revealed at the Auto Expo on 10 January 2008 in New Delhi. Production is expected to be 250,000 units per year in a controversial West Bengal plant.

4. What is the top speed of the Nano?

Answer: 105 kph

105 kilometres per hour is about 65 miles per hour. Acceleration to 70kph is around 14 seconds.

5. What transmission is standard in the Nano?

Answer: Four-speed manual

The Nano gets about 20 kilometers per litre in combined driving. That translates into 47 miles per U.S. gallon or 56 miles per Imperial (U.K.) gallon.

6. What car is the Nano often compared to?

Answer: Mini

Many consider the Nano, often called "The People's Car," an heir to the Mini in terms of its use of a rear-mounted engine to maximise interior space. The Rover Group proposed a replacement to the Mini in the 1990s. Another Tata, the Indica, was the basis for the City Rover, built from 2003-2005 and criticised for its high price and lack of reliability.

7. The closest rival of the Nano is the Maruti 800.

Answer: True

The Maruti 800 is an Indian-market version of a mid-1980s Suzuki Alto. While a popular car for many low-income Indians, Maruti does sell a home-market version of the updated Alto.

8. Among the criticisms of the Nano was its perceived lack of safety or emissions controls. The Nano is said to meet what class standards?

Answer: Euro IV

Euro IV emissions standards were set in January 2005. India's equivalent is known as Bharat Stage IV.

9. What is an option on the Nano?

Answer: Air conditioning

The option of air conditioning only comes with the Deluxe package. The basic Nano comes with one windshield, a speedometer, tachometer, and fuel gauge.

10. The Nano can only seat two people.

Answer: False

At 3.1 meters (10.2 feet), the Nano is between the size of the DaimlerChrysler's Smart and the Maruti 800. The Nano can seat five...in a pinch.
