The year 2010 has been a year of car launches with one new model hitting showrooms every month.
So, this Diwali the Indian car buyer has ample options to choose from.
There were a number of new launches and upgrades in the hatchback category.
So, here is low down on all the choices buyers have this Diwali in the hatchback segment in two price ranges.
Hatchbacks in the Rs 100,000 - 300,000 category:
Tata Nano -- The people's car is powered by a 35-horsepower engine and it is about 10 feet long, weighs approximately 1,300 pounds, has an all-sheet-metal body, a rear two-cylinder engine, small tubeless tires, a reinforced passenger compartment, crumple zones, seat belts and achieves a top speed of 106kmph.
Tata Nano buyers in Maharashtra, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka have reason to rejoice as Tata Motors has officially opened bookings of the Tata Nano in these states.
Customers who have not booked a Nano in these states can now purchase the Tata Nano directly from showrooms.
The company has finance tie-ups with Tata Motors Finance, ICICI Bank and State Bank of India.
Tata Motors has tied up with a total of 25 banks to offer loans for purchasing the Tata Nano at attractive rates of interest.
Tata Nano's price went up by 3-4 per cent this July due to an increase in the price of raw materials.
The hike was of Rs 3,700 to Rs 6,894 for different variants, based on ex-showroom, Delhi, prices.
