Tata plans to bring Nano to U.S.

The Tata Nano, the world’s least-expensive car, is likely coming to the United States.

Tata officials plan to bring a version of the minicar here in two years to two and a half years, according to Automotive News.

The Nano goes on sale in India in July with a sticker of about $2,200. It has room for four adults and has a 35-hp engine.

A larger European version is slated to debut in 2011, and has an upgraded engine that could get 67 mpg. That car is still expected to come in at less than $5,000.

Tata would be the second Indian company with cars on U.S. streets. Global Vehicles U.S.A. Inc. of suburban Atlanta plans to introduce pickups made by Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. later this year.
