Which Variant Of The 2020 Toyota Glanza Petrol Should You Buy?

Among the 2 variants of the Glanza, it is better to buy the G variant. It has all the must-have and some good-to-have features as well. We would recommend that rather than upgrading to the V variant, it is better to go for the G variant and retrofit it with a rear parking camera -- this verdict is valid in the case of both the manual and the automatic transmission.
