With the Indigo getting rather long in the tooth in the face of more modern competition, Tata Motors has finally launched a replacement for the car. Despite a few facelifts post its 2002 launch, not to mention a garageful of variants over the years, Tata did need a new car desperately if it was to stay competitive in the already overcrowded C segment. Called the Manza, this fairly large mid-size sedan is based on the same platform as the Indica Vista and shares the same powertrain and other components from the common parts bin. This time however, the Manza does look a little more grown up than its hatchback sibling when put side by side. That said, the boot design is again a question of personal taste and still doesn’t look as integrated and fluid as it could have been. A classic case of function before form – since the Manza has a massive boot. Tata have also packed in more consumer-friendly and safety features than ever before into the car and have tried to tick all the boxes as best they could for this demanding segment and ever more value conscious Indian consumer.
