It is a widely accepted fact in the Indian auto market that the demand for bi-fuel engines such as the CNG has increased exponentially over time. To cater to the customers who need a more economical product, the new CNG variant would be able to deliver up to 25 kmpl of fuel economy as per the official data on the Toyota Bharat website.
Toyota Glanza currently uses a 1.2-L, DualJet, 4-cylinder, naturally aspirated petrol engine which comprehends a peak output of 89 bhp and a peak torque of 113 Nm. Toyota currently offers two gearbox options which include a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT automatic transmission to cater to the variety of buyers of the premium hatchback.
