MAN TGS

It is where the MAN TGS appeals to you the most, with its futuristic and car-like cabin having a host of new-age features which can shame even some of the luxury cars on sale.

Here, the driver’s cockpit is a combination of a four-spoke multi-functional steering wheel with a 12.3-inch full-TFT instrument console behind it. The wide-looking centre console, which is slightly tilted towards the driver, gets a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with an electronic parking brake switch to its left and an AC vent to its right.

The lower centre console has an array of buttons for various functions, and in the middle of all of them, there is a sleek panel for the automatic climate control buttons. The infotainment system can also be controlled via a rotary knob, which sits on a protruding out slanted panel at the bottom of the centre console. To the left of the steering wheel, one can find a large Opti-view digital mirror, which is laid out vertically for rearward visibility.

The MAN TGS is one of the most premium and new-age looking trucks, which has a premium appeal and aura in its design. The tall stance and several premium design elements on the exterior profile of the truck give it a rich appeal.

At the front of the MAN TGS, the upper half has a huge windshield with slightly tapering down side edges. The lower part of the front profile is what makes the MAN TGS look new-age and appealing. The middle part of the front profile here gets a large blacked-out trapezoidal grille, which has a chrome garnish on the top of it. This chrome garnish comes with a nice-looking logo of MAN trucks in the middle of it. Besides the grille, you can find L-shaped panels, which slightly protrude out and make the truck look wider.

The high-set front bumper of the MAN TGS looks aggressive and adds some visual bulk to the design of the truck. The corners of the front bumper have housings for the headlamps, which come integrated with LED projector bulbs and L-shaped daytime running LEDs. The lower corners of the front bumper have sleek looking housings for the fog lamps, while the central part of the front bumper have horizontal lines for the air dam and form an extended part of the front grille.

The muscular appeal of the MAN TGS is carried forward in the side profile as well, as the door panels come with a few geometrical lines to make the profile look as busy as the front. The zig-zag window waistline, vertical blacked-out door handle and flared wheel arches round up the side profile of the MAN TGS.

The MAN TGS is offered in a range of drivetrains to choose from – 4x2, 4x4, 6x2, 6x4, 6x6, 8x2,8x4,8x6 and 8x8. You can get any of these drivetrain configurations in one of the three cab approaches – TM Cab (slim, long, medium-high), TN Cab (slim, long, standard high) and NN Cab (slim, medium length, standard high).

The MAN TGS is offered with two different inline-six diesel-powered engines across its different variants. The smaller one of the two is a 9.0-litre D1556 engine, which is available with three different power outputs – 330 PS, 360 PS and 400 PS. The other engine here is a 12.4-litre D2676 engine, which also is available in three different power output options – 430 PS, 470 PS and 510 PS.
