Tata Nano’s debut as the world’s most affordable car is set for a dramatic comeback in the form of an EV in 2025. After going off the market, rumours suggest Tata Motors is bringing back its iconic people’s car as a compact EV designed for the urban sprawl of India. Will this be the game-changing EV accessible to the masses? Let’s take a look at expectations for Tata Nano 2025 and the possibilities for its pricing.
Electric Powertrain and Performance
Expected features for the Nano EV include a 20-25 kWh battery pack with a range of 150-180 km, which is great for commuting. It is to be powered by a 40-50 hp motor which makes this a range-efficient option. An additional fast charging option (0-80% in 60 mins) is rumoured.
Redesigned Exterior and Interior
The 2025 Nano will likely retain its compact footprint of under 3 metres, but gain contemporary styling with Tata’s latest design language. Major upgrades from the original Nano include a touchscreen infotainment system, and a more comfortable seating designed to improve the driving experience as well as a sleek dash which complements a digital instrument cluster.
Expected Variants & Pricing
| Variant | Expected Price (ex-showroom) | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| Nano EV XE | ₹5.25 lakh | Basic model with 150 km range, steel wheels |
| Nano EV XM | ₹5.75 lakh | Added features like AC, power windows |
| Nano EV XT | ₹6.25 lakh | Top model with touchscreen, fast charging |
| Nano EV XT Plus | ₹6.75 lakh | Premium interior, extended warranty |
Target Audience & Competition
Tata seems the focus here is on two-wheeler users wishing to shift to cheap four-wheeler electric vehicles. Besides competing with the Bajaj EV, it will also compete with the released electric four wheelers. However, Tata will also try to attract the buyers of the larger Electric Vehicles like Tata Tiago EV by keeping the price lower than them.
Potential Launch Timeline
As per industry speculation, the reveal is likely to take place during the 2025 Auto Expo, with pre-orders beginning mid 2025. In addition, Tata will try to promote the car by providing low-cost financing and battery subscription services.
