Let’s see if the new offer makes the Tata Manza, better value for money than other cars in the same range such as the Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire and the Toyota Etios.

Manza vs. Dzire

The Manza base variant, Aqua, with an offer price of Rs. 4.99 lakh is only Rs. 5,000 dearer than the Dzire base variant priced at Rs. 4.94 lakh.   The Manza Aura with an offer price of Rs. 5.49 lakh is only Rs. 2,000 cheaper than the Dzire Vxi and the Manza Elan with an offer price of Rs. 5.91 lakh is Rs. 48,000 cheaper than the Dzire Zxi.

Summing up, the Manza petrol with the offer price is significantly cheaper than the Dzire in the top-end variant and comes close to other Dzire variants.

Manza vs. Etios

The discount makes the Manza Aqua, Rs. 4,000 cheaper than the Toyota Etios J priced at Rs. 5.03 lakh. Also, the Manza middle and top-end variants, Aura and Elan are Rs. 10,000 and Rs. 66,000 cheaper than the Etios G (Rs. 5.59 lakh) and the Etios V (Rs. 6.57 lakh).

Overall, the Manza is significantly cheaper than the Etios taking into account, the mid and top-end variants, though the base variants have similar pricing.

Conclusion

Demand for petrol cars, especially in the sedan segment has seen a slump due to the rise in petrol prices. Hence, car makers are pushing the sales of petrol cars by offering cash discounts and exchange bonuses. Tata Motors is following this trend and thus offers cash discount for the Manza.
