Tata Motors is one amongst those India grown car manufacturers who have taken India to another level with their efficient line up of passenger cars as well as commercial vehicles. They are the world’s 18th largest motor vehicle manufacturers, world’s 4th largest truck manufacturers and the 2nd largest bus manufacturers in the world by volume. With the acquisition of Daewoo Commercial Vehicles Company in 2004 and Jaguar Land Rover in 2008, Tata Group ranks at the 314th position in the 2012 Fortune Global 500 of the world’s biggest corporations.Tata group’s car line-up in India includes eminent and well-known cars like Tata Indica Vista, Tata Nano, Tata Aria, Tata Sumo, Tata Safari, Tata Safari Storme etc. One amongst these is the Tata Manza. Tata launched the all new Tata Manza Club Class sedan, which has exclusive features that are especially designed for the new generation which has an eye for smart, powerful and efficient vehicles. The new Tata Manza Club Class, a mid-level sedan has first in the class, human – machine interface along with an unmatchable cabin space. This touchscreen multimedia comes with GPS – Global positioning System technology along with the flattering ACC – Automatic Climate Control. On the inside there is a unique combination of black and plum color which is coupled with Italian leather upholstery which gives the new Manza Club Class, an edge over its competitors.The competitors for the Tata Manza Club Class include eminent cars like Maruti Suzuki Dzire which belongs to the India’s favourite passenger car manufacturer, Mahindra Verito which has received a facelift this year that has added an appeal to the sedan, Nissan Sunny which is currently rising the popularity charts in India with the efficient k9k engine, along with others like Toyota Etios, Ford Classic etc. The competition for Tata Manza is strong and therefore it will take a lot for this new sedan from the stables of Tata to prove its mettle amongst the others already present in the market.Coming to the engine that powers the new Manza, the diesel variants use the Quadrajet90 powertrain and petrol variants have the Safire90 under their hood. The 4 cylinder, CRDi engine with a capacity of 1248cc is capable of delivering 88.7bhp of power at a rpm of 4000 and can deliver a maximum torque of 200Nm at 1750–3000rpm. On the other hand, the petrol Safire90, 4-cylinder MPFI with intelligent port resizer churns out maximum power of 88.7bhp at 6000rpm and a torque of 116Nm at 4750rom. The sedan comes with 5 + 1 speed manual gearbox. The Safire petrol gives a certified fuel efficiency of 13.7kmpl and the Quardrajet returns with a certified mileage of 21.02kmpl.The sedan stands at a length of 4413mm, width of 1703mm and has a height of 1550mm. the wheelbase of the car is 2520mm and the ground clearance is 165mm. The kerb weight of the Quadrajet90 models is between 1200 – 1210 kgs and for Safire90 it lies between 110 – 1125kgs. One of the biggest benefits that the sedan from Tata offers is the cabin space. Apart from the best in class features like the infotainment system and dual color body and interiors, Tata Manza offers commendable seating space along with head – room and shoulder – room which can seat 5 people very comfortably. The Tata Manza sedan, since it launch has not given those many numbers as it is capable of in terms of sale somewhere because Tata brand name is not seen as a luxury car maker but with the new found partnership with JLR, the position is changing and hopefully, the company will manage to get itself positioned amongst the luxury car makers. Despite this, there is no doubt that Tata cars are the most suited for Indian roads, with their rugged and sturdy body structure and other features that suit the Indian driving conditions and requirements.Tata Manza Mileage

The new Tata Manza is powered by the internationally acclaimed Quadrajet and Safire engine options. The Quardrajet90 is the 4 cylinder CRDi, 1248cc powertrain which is capable of delivering a power of 88.7bhp at 4000rpm and the Safire90 is the 4 cylinder MPFI petrol engine with intelligent port resizer which delivers 88.7bhp at 6000rpm.

The other peculiar feature of the sedan is its elongated swept back headlamps and the new Manza Club Class gets spectacular looking 8 spoke alloy wheels.

The cabin of the Manza is one of the most spacious cabins in the sedans of this segment. The comfortable Italian design, leather finished seats of the car give the car a sense of style, class and also deliver extreme level of comfort for the passengers and driver equally. With the styling and comfort level that the Tata Manza Club Class offers, it stands at a level up than most of its counter parts.

Except the lower end variants, the infotainment system features the satellite navigation system, has USB, playback and AUX-IN etc. The controls for the audio are also mounted on the steering wheel for all the variants but the LX. The AC with heater is a standard feature in the Tata Manza Club Class line-up. The driver’s seat is height adjustable for most of the variants and there is also adjustable headrest on rear seat and rear seat armrest with cup holder.

Tata Manza Engine and Performance

One of the best features of the all new Tata Manza Club Class is the engine that powers it. Like all the others in the segment, even the Manza comes with both diesel and petrol options. The diesel engine is the Quadrajet90 where 90 stand for the power output delivered by the engine. The engine churns out a maximum power output of 88.7bhp at 4000rpm (which is equal to 90PS.) The Safire90 delivers a power of 88.7bhp as well but at 6000rpm. The diesel engine is the Quadrajet 4 cylinder CRDi engine with a capacity of 1248cc delivering a torque of 200Nm at 1750 – 3000rpm. The Safire is the 4 cylinder MPFI petrol mill with intelligent port resizer and a capacity of 1368cc. The maximum torque that this drivetrain delivers is 116Nm at 4750rpm. The engine is mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. The others in the segment, like the Maruti Dzire, delivers a power of 73.9bhp at 4000rpm, Mahindra Verito churns out 65bhp at 4000rpm and the Etios delivers 88.7bhp at 5600rpm, making the Tata Manza Club class one of the most powerful in the segment. The mileage expected out of the Quadrajet is 21.02kmpl and the certified mileage out of the Safire engine is 13.7kmpl. For the petrol engine, pick up from 0-100kmph takes around 16 seconds and the diesel engine takes close to 15seconds.

Wheels

The new sedan from Tata, Tata Manza club stands on 185/6 R15 tubeless radials. The top of the range get the beautiful 8 spoke 15inch alloy wheels and rest of the lot; LS, LX and VX get steel wheels with full wheel caps. These decently sized wheels allow a very good grip for the car and also add to the comfort level. The wheels with the suspension system which is tuned to suit the Indian roads – Independent, lower wishbone MacPherson Strut with coil spring front suspension system and Semi – independent twist beam with coil springs and hydraulics shock absorbers suspension system at the rear; makes the drive of the a sedan very comfortable and easy to handle.

Braking & Handling

The Tata Manza club class has vaccum assisted independent dual circuit diagonal split hydraulic brake through tandem master cylinder. Up front, the sedan has ventilated disc and there are drum brakes at the rear. The sedan has dual front SRS airbags in the EX and EXL variants. These variants also have the retractor, pretensioners and load limiters on front seatbelts. The sedan has the ABS – Anti – lock braking system with EBD – Electronic Brakeforce Distribution. ABS offers more control over the vehicle and helps decrease the stopping distance on varied surfaces including slippery surface, loose surface like gravel etc. EBD, in order to maximise the stopping power while maintaining control over the vehicle, helps distribute braking pressure evenly to each wheel. These features together help the sedan stay under control even when sudden brakes are applied. The power steering as well helps in easy manoeuvring. Enhancing the easy drive and handling of the sedan is the turning radius of the car. Tata Manza has a turning radius of 5.1meters which is lesser than the turning radius of Mahindra Verito which is 5.25 meters but more than that for Maruti Swift Dzire and Toyota Etios. Maruti Dzire has a turning radius of 4.7 meters and Etios has the 4.9meters as its turning radius. Lesser the turning radius, easier it is to handle the car in the city traffic. Even with a figure of 5.1 metres, Tata Manza is also quite suitable for the city drives.

Handling & Safety

Tata Manza has the Independent, lower wishbone MacPherson Strut with coil spring suspension system in the front and Semi – independent twist beam with coil springs and hydraulics shock absorbers rear suspension system. This suspension system help the Tata Manza ride become more comfortable for the passengers. With this suspension system, the passengers are at extreme comfort even on the roads that are covered with potholes. In fact one can say that the ride quality of the Manza is somewhat a little higher than what Swift Dzire delivers. The handling of the car, with its ABS with EBD and collapsible power steering, becomes easy and smooth. Once the revs cross the critical rpm mark, the critical rev indicator needle turns red unlike in the case of usual tachometers which come with a red line mark on the dial itself.

Further, the car comes with high mount LED stop lamps, rear door child lock and central locking. Adding to the premium-ness of the sedan is the remote controlled keyless entry. There is also an engine immobilizer which helps in case of a theft. The Manza comes with dual front SRS airbags in both EX and EXL variants. For the safety of the passengers, there is also the retractor, pretensioners and load limiters on front seatbelts. There is also a warning buzzer for driver door open with key/headlamps/tail-lamps on. To improve the handling and safety while driving, Tata Manza comes with fog lamps at the rear as well as front. In terms of the safety features, all the competing sedans in this segment are at par.
