The Tata Nano, a small city vehicle, is known for its compact size, tall interior, and rear engine positioning. In this image gallery, we will look at the final GenX Nano to be sold in India before its production ceased, showcasing the exterior view from the front, side, and back of the vehicle, as well as the interior of the vehicle, including the dashboard, the front seating area, the back seating area, boot area, and all available exterior colours.
The final GenX range included XE, XM, XT, XMA and XTA variants. All used a 624 cc two-cylinder petrol engine, while buyers could choose between a 4-speed manual and a 5-speed Easy Shift AMT depending on the variant. Used Tata Nano cars can also be explored on Spinny.

Tata Nano Exterior Images
Redesigning the original GenX Nano included adding a more contemporary front fascia and rear design with more functional and attractive bumpers, an Infinity graphics grille styling, smoked headlamp lenses, and a rear hatch that is now operational. All of these changes have improved the practicality of the final version of the GenX Nano from the previous generation of Nanos.
It measures 3,164 mm long, 1,750 mm wide including the ORVMs and 1,652 mm tall, with a 2,230 mm wheelbase and 180 mm of ground clearance. The 4-metre turning radius makes it easy to manoeuvre through narrow streets and parking spaces.
Key Highlights
| Exterior Feature | Highlight |
| Front design | Infinity-motif grille and piano-black bonnet garnish |
| Lighting | Smoked headlamps and fog lamps on higher variants |
| Wheels | 12-inch steel wheels with wheel covers |
| Rear styling | Openable hatch and integrated roof spoiler |
Front Profile
The GenX Nano looks better in the front than the original Nano. A black stripe running across the bonnet has been incorporated, and the Tata badge is now at a lower position than before. A large lower grille is an addition of the infinity motif that has been inherited from the GenX update.
Higher XT and XTA variants add round front fog lamps, while smoked headlamp bezels give the car a sportier appearance. The short bonnet and wide windscreen also help in heavy traffic.
Side Profile
The side view of the Nano attests to its different packaging. The wheels of the Nano have been pushed towards the edges of the car. The roof has been kept high, and the doors of the car take up a large amount of the total body length, thus creating ample passenger room despite being just over 3.1 metres long.
All versions use 12-inch steel wheels with tubeless tyres, while wheel-cover design varies by trim. Higher variants also add body-coloured door handles, colour-coordinated mirrors, roof beading and a roof-mounted antenna.
Rear Profile
The GenX version has introduced a hatch to the Nano that can be opened, making it more useful for loading luggage. A roof spoiler has been mounted over the rear window, and the bumper design follows the infinity motif as in the front of the car.
The engine remains mounted beneath the rear section, influencing the shape and size of the luggage compartment. The short overhang and tall body help keep the car extremely compact from the outside.
Overall, the design of the GenX Nano is a combination of space-saving proportions and new design changes that make it look much better than the previous generations of the car.
Tata Nano Interior Images
Inside, the GenX Nano uses a simple dashboard with a centrally mounted instrument cluster and compact centre console. The final update brought a new three-spoke Tata steering wheel, darker dashboard trim on higher variants and different upholstery themes depending on the exterior colour and trim.
The Nano has been intended to accommodate four people. The high roof, straight posture of the seat, and significant windows all ensure that there is enough room inside for a sense of spaciousness – even if the outer size of the vehicle would suggest otherwise.
Key Highlights
- Centrally mounted multi-information display
- Electric power-assisted steering on most variants
- Bluetooth-enabled AmphiStream audio system on higher variants
- Air conditioning and front power windows on equipped versions
Dashboard & Front Seats
The layout of the dashboard has the instrumentation placed in the middle part instead of in front of the driver. The information box has the capability to display information on the trip duration, fuel consumption, distance to empty, and instantaneous fuel economy, as well as time and info related to the gearbox in automatic versions for the Nano.
XT and XTA variants add the AmphiStream audio system with radio, CD, USB, AUX and Bluetooth connectivity, along with four speakers. Electric power-assisted steering is available on XM, XMA, XT and XTA, while the base XE uses manual steering.
Second Row
The Nano has a rear seat that is capable of making enough space for two people; hence it has an official passenger limit of four people. The high roof ensures that there is enough distance between a passenger’s head and the top of the car; the high position of the seat, as well as big windows, make travelling in the back comparable to travelling in some larger vehicles.
Rear passengers do not get dedicated AC vents or charging ports, and the cabin is deliberately simple. However, assist grips and door storage add basic everyday convenience.
Boot Space
The manual versions of the GenX Nano provide a luggage capacity of 110 litres, whereas the two AMT versions, the XMA and XTA Easy Shift, have only 94 litres of capacity because AMT hardware occupies more space. It is, however, suitable for carrying groceries or backpacks or a couple of small soft bags.
Selected variants also allow the rear seatback to fold, creating substantially more room when rear passengers are not being carried. The openable hatch makes access much easier than on earlier Nano versions.
It can be concluded that the interior of the Nano has been designed keeping in mind the space available for passengers, and not for cargo, since the vehicle is primarily meant for short rides in the city.
Tata Nano Colour Options
The final GenX Nano was available in six exterior colours, with interior accent themes changing according to the body colour and variant.
| Colour Name | Type | Availability |
| Sangria Red | Monotone | GenX Nano range |
| Damson Purple | Monotone | GenX Nano range |
| Dazzle Blue | Monotone | GenX Nano range |
| Pearl White | Pearl finish | GenX Nano range |
| Meteor Silver | Metallic | GenX Nano range |
| Espresso Brown | Metallic | Selected higher variants |
The youthful impression of the Nano is enhanced by colours like Sangria Red, Damson Purple, and Dazzle Blue, but Pearl White and Meteor Silver look more reserved and make the black grille and window area look prominent.
Espresso Brown gives the Nano a warmer look. Since the model is now available only in the used-car market, colour availability depends on model year, variant and inventory.
Summary
The Tata Nano offers a compact size together with an unexpectedly spacious four-seat cabin. The Infinity design grille, smoked headlamps, roof spoiler, and openable rear hatch differentiate the last version of the Nano from previous versions. A 4 m turning radius and 180 mm ground clearance set the vehicle for city driving.
Inside, the Nano offers a central information display and simple controls, with higher variants adding power steering, Bluetooth audio, front power windows and remote locking. Manual versions provide 110 litres of boot space, while AMT versions offer 94 litres. The 624 cc petrol engine and Easy Shift AMT also make the GenX Nano particularly relevant to buyers seeking a very small used city car.
