Tata Manza Elan Petrol (2012) Updates

Wednesday, 09 December 2015 01:25 AM Tata Motors has officially discontinued the sale of the Tata Manza, including the Manza Elan Petrol, as of December 2015. This decision was made after the vehicle failed to gain significant traction in the market, despite efforts to revamp it. The Manza was seen more as a taxi vehicle due to its origins from the Indigo, which affected its appeal as a personal car.

Tuesday, 16 October 2012 10:22 AM In October 2012, Tata Motors launched the updated Manza Club Class, which included the Manza Elan Petrol variant. This update brought new features such as touchscreen multimedia navigation, automatic climate control, and Italian leather upholstery. The petrol engine of the Manza Elan produced 90 bhp and 116 Nm of torque. I think these updates were a good attempt to revitalize the model, but it ultimately wasnt enough.

Wednesday, 03 October 2012 01:35 PM The Tata Manza Elan Petrol was powered by a 1.4-litre FIAT engine, producing 90 bhp and 116 Nm of torque. This engine was paired with a five-speed manual gearbox. The top-end variants, including the Elan, also came with safety features like ABS, EBD, and twin airbags. I believe the engine performance was one of the stronger points of this vehicle.

Thursday, 20 September 2012 01:21 PM As part of the facelift, the Manza Elan Petrol received aesthetic upgrades, including new 8-spoke alloy wheels, a twin-tone roof, and enhanced chrome detailing on the bumpers and doors. These changes were aimed at giving the car a more premium look. I think the design tweaks were a step in the right direction but didnt quite change the publics perception.

Wednesday, 15 August 2012 08:35 AM Prior to the facelift, the Tata Manza Elan Petrol was known for its spacious interior and comfortable ride. However, it faced stiff competition from other sedans in its segment, which impacted its sales. Despite its strengths, the vehicle struggled to find its place in the market.

Tuesday, 05 June 2012 06:44 PM In the months leading up to the facelift, there was speculation that Tata Motors would introduce a sub-4 metre version of the Manza to benefit from lower excise duties. However, this plan did not materialize for the Manza Elan Petrol. Instead, the focus remained on updating the existing model.

Thursday, 10 May 2012 02:28 PM The Tata Manza Elan Petrol was part of a broader lineup that included both petrol and diesel variants. The petrol variant was popular for its smooth engine and city driving capabilities. However, it was overshadowed by the diesel variants in terms of sales.

Tuesday, 20 March 2012 01:41 PM In early 2012, Tata Motors was working on enhancing the features of the Manza Elan Petrol to make it more competitive. This included adding advanced infotainment systems and improving the interior quality. These efforts were part of a larger strategy to boost sales.

Wednesday, 15 February 2012 06:31 PM The Tata Manza Elan Petrol was priced competitively in the market, with the base petrol variant starting at around Rs. 5.7 lakh. Despite the competitive pricing, the vehicle faced challenges in gaining market share. I think the pricing was one of the few things that went right for this model.
