Ratan Tata. He is a personality that needs no introduction. Ratan Tata is 81 years old and he was the man behind several ventures by Tata. We have heard stories about how Ratan Tata worked hard to improve the overall image of Tata Motors and made it into one of the leading car brands in the country. Tata Nano which was not a popular product in India was also Ratan Tata’s brainchild. He loves cars and has a good collection of expensive and rare cars in his garage.
Tata Nexon
Along with expensive cars & SUVs, the man also owns humble cars like Tata Nexon. It was Tata’s first sub-4 meter SUV and it is still one of the best-selling in the segment. Nexon grabbed more attention among buyers after it scored a perfect 5 star at Global NCAP crash test. Nexon was the first made-in-India car to achieve this score. Ratan Tata uses the per-facelift model in Blue shade. He is using the 1.5 litre turbo diesel version that generates 108 Bhp and 260 Nm of peak torque.
