Reasonable -priced Tata Manza CS sedan will arrive soon from one of the leading automobile company TATA Motors .The Company is going to plan to launch this model (Compact Sedan). Based on following the success of the Indigo CS (Compact Sedan. The car is a full-sized family saloon with roomy interiors and an enormous boot. ), the company is slicing this model car to tuck the car under 4 meters in length and benefit from excise duty sops. Unlike the Indica and Indigo line up, the Vista – Manza line up is far better in terms of styling and fit and finishes levels. There is also speculation that the Manza CS will have a front end.
The present Tata Manza measures 4413 mm x 1703 mm x 1550 mm (length x width x height) and in order to reduce the length, the 460-litre boot has to be compromised. But even after chopping off 413 mm from the Manza’s length, the boot space will still be more than some of the sedans available in the country today. There would not be any change in the wheelbase or any other mechanical parts and we can expect the Manza CS with its compact length to be more or if not, equally attractive as the Indigo Manza.
Still, the Manza is powered by a 1368 cc Saffire90 petrol engine and 1248 cc Quadrajet90 diesel engine that both produce 90 PS of power. If the same engines are used in Manza CS as we expect, the power-to-weight ratio would be better and hence, there could be a slight improvement in performance as well as fuel efficiency.
This will arrive in four models in the Indian automobile market as of now that includes Aqua, Aura, Aura (ABS) and Aura Plus. The model is available in both Diesel and petrol versions. The petrol variant of the car comes with a 1368 cc, 4 cylinder, MPFI, petrol engine that delivers 90 Ps of maximum power at 6000 rpm with the maximum torque of 116 NM at 4750 rpm, while the Diesel variant sports a 1248 cc, 4 cylinder, Common Rail diesel engine delivering 90 Ps of maximum power at 4000 rpm and maximum torque of 200 Nm at 1750-3000 rpm. The car is known for providing improved fuel efficiency and a great performance on road.Currently the Tata Manza CS would have no competition. However, there is a possibility of Mahindra launching a shorter Logan in 2011. Both the cars are equally spacious and good value for money. The Logan’s 1.5 liter DCI diesel engine is its selling point. The Manza CS should gain in terms of contemporary heritage and a clear career history unlike the Logan. The Logan’s future has come under a cloud after the Mahindra-Renault split up.
We can expect Tata Motors will launch Indigo Manza CS with an attractive competitive price during early months of 2011.
