New 1.2-litre petrol engine
Changes have also been made at the mechanical level in the new Toyota Glanza. The 1.2-litre, four-cylinder K12 engine of the old model has now been replaced by a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder Z12E naturally aspirated petrol engine.

AMT gearbox will also be available in CNG variant
The CNG variant of the new Glanza is an option for those customers who want to keep fuel expenses lower than petrol. In CNG mode, its engine generates power of 70 PS and torque of 102 Nm.
The special thing about this update is that the option of 5-speed AMT automatic gearbox has been given in the CNG variant also. With this, customers can also choose the option of automatic transmission with CNG.
However, the actual running cost of a CNG car will depend on the price of CNG in your city, driving style and actual mileage of the vehicle.
Competes with Tata Altroz, Hyundai i20 and Baleno
