AMT Gearbox
Unlike before, the new Toyota Glanza is now offered with an AMT gearbox which has now replaced the CVT gearbox. While the AMT version is a lot more affordable, it is nowhere as smooth and refined as the CVT gearbox. Rivals like the I20 and the Altroz offer a quicker and smoother transmission.
Some Missing Features
While the Baleno already offers an extensive features list, many features like a wireless charging pad, ventilated front seats, a fully-digital instrument console, a sunroof, and powered seat adjustment are missing from the package.
