The Manza is here!The Tata Indigo Manza debuted in India amidst much fan-fare. The big and affordable sedan was unveiled by Ratan Tata, Chairman of Tata Motors in Mumbai yesterday evening.
The Manza sedan is based on the J300 platform that also houses the shell of the Indica Vista, but the Indigo Manza is much larger and wider than the old model of Indigo. The grapevine has it that the Indigo will go out of production, with only the CS, Marina and XL variants to be offered going forward.
The Indigo Manza is pitted against the Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire, Hyundai Accent, Ford Ikon, Chevrolet Aveo and the Renault Logan.
The Indigo Manza comes in two engine types sourced from Fiat. The 1.4L multi-point, fuel injected Safire petrol engine can tap a 88.5 bhp@6000 rpm. The diesel engine, a 1.3L Quadrajet 90, can churn out the same power at 4000 rpm. Both the engines variants can haul this sedan car to a top speed in excess of 160 km/h. Besides, the Tata Indigo Manza comes in four variants: the Aqua, Aura, Aura ABS and the Aura +.
The Tata Indigo Manza is a modern, contemporary sedan, an altogether new car. The car makes a bold styling statement. The striking front wraparound three barreled headlamps add to the linearity and impart a feline aggressive appearance to the Manza. The large 15-inch wheels ensconced in their flared arches give the sedan a higher and more commanding stance. The chrome inserts on the side impact strips and outer door handles add to fineness. The new rear monolithic angular shaped tail lamps calls for attention.
It is a big car, too big to be an entry-level sedan with a length of over 4.4 m, a width of 1.7 m and a wheel base of 2,520mm. The statistics reflect that the Manza has extravagant interior space to give you an ‘utterly-butterly’ relaxed and convenient ride. The trunk has an amazing capacity of 460 litres to meet every need of travel.
Coming to the interior, the cabin is a fine blend of technology and luxury. The rich double tone fabric endows the cabin with a warm feel. The tilt adjustable power steering with a height adjustable driver seat allows a comfortable driving posture.
The Manza comes equipped with electronically adjustable and controlled Outer Rear View Mirrors. The driver information system on top of the central console provides information on fuel consumption and ambient temperature, while the sporty instrument cluster shrouded in the swoop of the soft-feel dashboard completes the styling statement.
