Tata's Nano soon coming to America, chairman says

By ,

Tata Group chairman Ratan Tata told Automotive News that a redesigned Nano will hit the U.S. market within three years. It will be much more advanced and refined than the Indian model that failed to live up to the hype as the world's cheapest automobile.

Equipped with a larger, more powerful engine, a power steering, and traction control, the American-spec Nano will likely be priced below US$10,000.

Of course, there's one major problem: Tata currently has no distribution network in the U.S. Andy Goss, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover North America (owned by Tata Group), said that there have been no discussions about using Jaguar Land Rover dealerships to sell the Nano.
