Three years ago Nano was the only possible smaller and cheaper car in India, but with Bajaj RE60's entry into the market, the monopoly came to an end. If these two miniature passenger cars are the economical and budget cars of India we have Escalade, the biggest American passenger car in U.S. A small comparison was done by CNN's Fareed Zakari. Escalade weighs around 7,100 pounds, while Indian cars weigh around 880 pounds. Nano and RE60 get 82 miles respectively, while the Escalade gets 18 miles to the gallon. Talking about the price, Escalade costs over $80,000 that is 40 times more what is expected for cars in India. The 8 seater Escalade is comfortable enough in comparison to 4 seater Tata Nano and Bajaj RE60.
