The Tata Manza, also known as the Tata Indigo Manza was globally presented on October 14, 2009. It was based on the Tata X1 or the Elegante Concept that was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 2007.
The first Tata Manza was offered with a 1.3-liter MultiJet diesel engine and a 1.4-liter Fiat Fire gasoline engine. In 2011, the Indian carmaker released the Tata Manza Elan, a premium variant sedan complete with upgraded safety features and a lavish interior covered with Italian leather.
In 2012, the sedan received a dynamic facelift and was marketed as the Tata Manza “Club class”. The series featured two-toned exteriors with chrome detailing and an interior fitted with Italian upholstery paired with modern amenities.
In the Philippines, the Tata Manza was launched in July 2014 through the efforts of Pilipinas Taj Autogroup, its local official distributor.
