What Happened
MAN Truck & Bus is expanding its MAN Individual customization program for the MAN TGE. Customers will in future be able to choose between the new MAN TGE Individual Black Package as an entry-level option, the established MAN TGE Individual Lion S trim line and the new MAN TGE Individual Lion X. MAN says the new offers combine distinctive design, high everyday usability and a stronger vehicle character. A new Performance Kit for the heavy-duty engine rounds out the range.
- MAN TGE Individual Black Package: new entry-level option with glossy black exterior design elements
- MAN TGE Individual Lion S: the established equipment line
- MAN TGE Individual Lion X: new line aimed at off-road-oriented customers and vehicle enthusiasts, available across Europe
The MAN TGE Individual Lion X was developed for customers who want a robust off-road look combined with a distinct design language. Its exterior relies on matte black accents and additional equipment elements, including underride protection at the front and rear, newly designed wheel arch covers, mirror caps with striking claw marks and a frame at the rear of the vehicle. Black-painted bull bars and side bars can be ordered as options to underline the off-road look. Inside, MAN adds high-quality details such as a specially designed entry grab handle on the door and a removable floor mat for the entry steps in the doors.
The new MAN TGE Individual Black Package is the entry point to the range and uses glossy black design elements in the exterior for an exclusive, sporty appearance. Black mirror caps, the model designation and a subtle design film along the vehicle's side wall set the accents, while black headlight covers and the grille cover take up the same design language. A roof edge spoiler and black MAN lettering at the rear complete the look. The package can be combined with all available vehicle colours and assistance systems.
“With the expanded MAN Individual portfolio, we give our customers even more ways to tailor their MAN TGE precisely to their requirements and their personal style. From the MAN Individual Black as an entry point to the new Lion X, we offer solutions with clearly recognizable character and high customer benefit.”

- 190 PS
The new Performance Kit from MAN Individual raises the output of the heavy-duty engine from 163 PS to 190 PS. MAN says customers benefit from additional power reserves, for example on demanding transport tasks, in construction site use, or on vehicles with extensive bodies and conversions.
Previously from MAN Truck & Bus
MAN Truck & Bus has also been updating its TGE van: in late September the company said the TGE's model year 2027 would add new assistance systems, including an intersection assistant, smarter drowsiness detection and predictive adaptive cruise control, aimed at the delivery and city traffic where accident risk is highest. The individualization packages now announced concern the same model, and the new Individual Black Package can be combined with all available assistance systems.

Why this matters
TGE buyers now get three levels of factory personalization instead of one, from a glossy-black entry package up to the off-road-flavoured Lion X, plus a power upgrade for heavy-duty-engine vehicles. That matters to customers who value a distinctive vehicle design and extra functionality, and to those doing demanding transport or construction work who want more power reserves.
