Toyota Glanza CNG: Powertrain Details
The premium CNG hatchback, Glanza is powered by the same 1.2-litre, four-cylinder engine, but makes a lower 77 bhp and 98.6 Nm. The system comes mated to only a 5-speed manual, while automatic options might come in later. Above all, Toyota car claims that the new Glanza CNG offers a claimed fuel efficiency of 30.61 km/kg.
Toyota Glanza CNG: Design and Features
Toyota Glanza CNG maintains the same exterior design as the petrol-powered version except for the CNG badging on the tailgate. Additionally, Toyota has also equipped the 55-litre CNG tank in the boot which significantly drops the luggage storage capacity compared to the petrol-powered version. The hatchback continues to provide a dual-tone interior scheme. The high-spec Glanza CNG G trim is equipped with features such as LED projector headlamps, a 7.0-inch touchscreen, 16-inch alloys, connected car tech with OTA updates, a voice assistant, six airbags, and a start/stop button.

Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder CNG: Details
Alongside the GLanza, Toyota also announced the arrival of CNG models to its latest launch, the Urban Cruiser Hyryder. The mid-size SUV will offer a CNG option on the 1.5-litre K-series Neo Drive variants. The new CNG will be the third powertrain option in the new SUVs line-up which includes petrol mild-hybrid and petrol strong-hybrid options currently. Like the Glanza, the only difference between the standard model and the new Hyryder E-CNG will be the addition of a large tank in the boot to hold the fuel.
Currently Toyota has kept the prices of the Hyryder E-CNG underwraps, but we expect it to be Rs 1,00,000 more expensive than the similar petrol powered variant.
