Under the hood sits a new Z12E 1.2-litre three-cylinder naturally aspirated engine available in both petrol and E-CNG options with a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT gearbox. In petrol mode, the engine delivers 83hp and 112Nm, yielding an increased fuel efficiency of 23.80kpl for the manual and 24.77kpl for the AMT. In CNG mode, it produces 70hp and 102Nm, with mileage reaching 33.61km/kg for the manual and 34.47km/kg for the AMT.

Context

Mid-cycle facelifts allow carmakers to refresh aging models with updated styling, advanced safety features, and better fuel economy to stay competitive in popular vehicle segments. The Glanza competes directly in the Indian market against models like the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, Hyundai i20 and Tata Altroz.
