Unveiling the World’s Cheapest Car

Tata Nano

A company in India recently unveiled the world’s cheapest car–The Tata Nano. The Tata Nano will go on sale next month for just $1,979. Millions of Indians in India currently ride inexpensive motorcycles, so naturally, the Tata Nano will appeal to low income families since it is drastically inexpensive and has five seats.

But this car isn’t your average car at the lowest price in the world, it is an extremely no frills car; drivers will not get air bags, air conditioning, a radio, or power steering. While this is extremely good news for people looking for cheap transportation, environmental activists are worried that the car will be popular, thus adding to car traffic and pollution.

A European version of the Tata Nano will be introduced in 2011 for around $5,700.

  1. What a Small car

    i really like it coz i am an adult and i love small car

    the price is also good for me :)

  2. Paulette says:

    This car may be cheap to buy but it wont be to run. Simple things like wheel bearings are really low quality and can’t work over 80km per hour meaning it will be a car that is really poor for the environment becuase of the parts wearing out quickly and burning oil.

  3. Haha wow that thing is tiny!

  4. A European model will be available shortly for only 4k more! They better be updating the car if they are gonna jack the price 4k. I would like to have one to run around town in.

  5. Acne Cross says:

    This looks like a smart car but cheaper. Those wheels look like their going to fall off…

  6. Caregivers says:

    Well in every cheap product sold, there is always a catch and I don’t know if it is worth its price. But I might consider having this car even w/o the air bag but with the stereo and air conditioning.

  7. That’s great, I hope it comes to Australia.

  9. news says:

    This car seems to cheap to be allright

  10. Hellas says:

    Maybe its cheapest, but its very ugly car.

  11. autostry says:

    I’d rather get a much expensive car if it means that I would have quality parts and that I would feel safe and secure when driving in it.

  12. Maruti Ritz says:

    The Indian roads are going to be over crowded now. But it will be a hot car in India.

  13. So cheap, but not safe. Too danger for our family.
