MAN pimps van for anniversary
Designed to attract attention on the road, the TGE Lion S 30th Anniversary Edition will appeal to drivers and companies looking to make a statement with their vehicle. MAN has used its 30th Anniversary of trading in the UK under the name MAN Truck & Bus UK to show off what its vans can look like.
This limited edition model, consisting of only 30 vehicles, comes in an elegant Deep Black Pearlescent paintwork and features a color-coded front bumper and side protection mouldings.
The exterior is eye-catching, as the van rides on 6.5J x 17 alloy wheels adorned with motor racing lead red brake calipers, and it has details such as red weave design carbon bumper covers, carbon design mirror caps with an integrated MAN lion logo, stainless steel trim on the lower front bumper, grille, and top of headlights. Completing the look are black aluminium sidebars with synthetic tread boards incorporating the Lion S logo in carbon, pin-striping, and a three-piece roof spoiler that houses high-rise lights and a rear-view camera.
Inside, the infotainment maintains the standard as it is equipped with the MAN Media Van Business with Navigation system, which includes an eight-inch anti-glare colour touchscreen, four speakers, DAB+ radio, wired and wireless smartphone integration, voice activation, and an overhead three-button module for information, assistance, and emergency calls.
The high specification continues inside the cab with leather seats that feature a hexagon design with white stitching and an embroidered 30th Anniversary logo in the headrests, incorporating the Union Jack flag. The lower steering wheel spokes and dash-mounted ventilation outlets stand out with red highlights, while LED lighting illuminates the footwells and the storage compartments.
The central passenger seat-back has two other functions. Fold it forward and it becomes a table with document and cup holders but, fold it up and forward, and it reveals extra under-seat storage. Above the driver’s head, an overhead cupboard spans across the top of the windscreen, providing space for paperwork, magazines, and two DIN slots.
MAN designed the van around its TGE 3.180 standard wheelbase panel van and installed a 180hp (130 kW – 410 Nm) 2.0-liter twin-turbo EUVI AR engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. It also shares all the safety and convenience features found in its standard models, from ABS and cruise control to a lane change system.
