Tata Manza and Vista phased out of production

Tata Motors is in the process of revamping its passenger car lineup. With the new design strategies moulding the current crop of Tata cars, it looks like the Manza and Vista have been laid to rest.

According to report by Business Standard, Girish Wagh, senior vice-president of programme planning and management for passenger cars at Tata Motors has stated that the Vista and Manza have been phased out of production. Tata revamped its product range with products like the Zest and Bolt by offering a different range of powertrain options and new features.

Neither one of the cars have been sales benchmarks, but they took attention away from the already slow moving Vista and Manza, which were expected to be phased out ever since the Zest and Bolt were revealed before the 2014 Delhi auto expo. Though the discontinuation of the Manza and Vista hasn't been formally announced, neither model is listed on Tata Motors' website.

The Indica and Indigo compact sedan cater to the taxi market and Wagh stated that both models are still driving enough sales in the commercial segment. Tata Motors has opted against selling its new generation cars to commercial buyers and will offer separate products for the segment. The Indian automaker is now banking heavily on the all-new Tata Zica to be a turning point for its passenger car segment, with the car expected to be launched in January 2016.
