The Toyota Glanza specifications centre on one efficient petrol engine and strong mileage. There is no confusing spread of powertrains to weigh. That makes the spec sheet quick to read.
The 1.2 litre petrol makes 88.5 bhp and 113 Nm, enough for easy city work. The CNG version drops to 76.4 bhp but slashes running cost. Power goes to the front wheels through a five speed manual or a five speed AMT. The naturally aspirated engine is smooth and cheap to maintain.
Mileage is the real draw here. The petrol manual returns 22.35 kmpl, and the AMT edges up to 22.94 kmpl. The S-CNG jumps to 30.61 km/kg for the lowest cost per kilometre. Compare the Glanza mileage across petrol and CNG to pick your fuel. Even hard city use rarely drops the petrol below twenty kmpl.
The Glanza is 3990 mm long with a 2520 mm wheelbase, compact enough for tight streets. The 318 litre boot is unusually large for a hatchback. Five seats work well for a family of four plus luggage. The tall roof keeps headroom good despite the low height. Doors open wide, so getting in and out is easy. The 37 litre tank keeps refills affordable.
Feature and safety kit runs to airbags, ABS with EBD and a touchscreen on higher trims. Higher trims add cruise control, a head-up display and a 360 camera. Six airbags feature on the top trim for a wider safety net. Match each Glanza trim to its kit to finish the choice.
