![]() The AMT is programmed to reach the highest possible gear at the earliest in the interest of efficiency, and with gentle accelerator inputs and light traffic, it does a reasonable job with negligible ‘head nod’ between shifts. ![]() Curiously, luggage space has gone down from 339 litres to 318 litres, and its high-set tall boot lip isn’t very convenient to load and unload heavy luggage.Īs delightful as the manual is, Toyota’s choice of opting for a 5-speed AMT in this segment seems like a step in the wrong direction, especially when its rivals offer more advanced and smoother dual-clutch and CVT automatic offerings. This Toyota finally gets dedicated AC vents and nifty charging provisions for rear occupants. The Glanza’s seat isn’t as wide as the i20’s to accommodate three abreast in reasonable comfort. Rear seat space is adequate, but tall passengers will find their heads brushing against the roof. Headroom for taller passengers is limited, although legroom is aplenty. The seat cushioning, however, is too soft for comfort, which could trigger back and/or muscle aches over long drives. Soft seat cushioning isn’t ideal for long journeys.Įrgonomics, as before, are spot on and finding the right driving position is very easy thanks to a tilt and telescopic steering as well as a plethora of seat adjustments. Even though it has all the right ingredients on paper, its execution isn’t perfect – its high placement hampers frontal visibility the screen is a bit too reflective especially under the afternoon sun and rivals like the Tata Altroz and Hyundai i20 offer a punchier and crisper sound output.

The use of piano black and silver highlights, along with upmarket bits like a flat-bottomed steering, an entirely new climate control console and a new free-standing touchscreen further lift its appeal. ![]() Toyota’s very premium-looking beige-black theme makes a great first impression, and brightens up the cabin. The interiors have been significantly revamped and it now gets an all-new dashboard and several other bits, which have gone a long way in upping the Glanza’s desirability quotient. Beige and black feel bright and lend an upmarket feel. Interiors are a big step up in terms of design, quality and appeal. The AMT variant is 25kg heavier than the outgoing CVT. The bigger news here is that this iteration underwent certain structural enhancements and also gets some new equipment, on account of which the base variant is 10kg heavier than a corresponding pre-facelift variant, while the top manual variant is 65kg heavier, tipping the scales at 955kg. This facelifted version is shorter by 5mm in length and 10mm in height, although its width and wheelbase haven’t been altered.
