Key Differences

Here are where they differ, especially with the “Limited Edition” in play.

Feature GLI CVT 1.3 Limited Edition ATIV MT 1.3
Transmission CVT automatic (7-speed simulation)  Manual 5-speed 
Price (new) Around PKR 4,760,000 ex-factory for GLI CVT 1.3 in Pakistan. The Limited Edition has same price but includes upgrades.  Around PKR 4,700,000 ex-factory for ATIV MT 1.3. 
Wheels / Rims In Limited Edition: upgraded to alloy wheels instead of standard ones.  Usually alloy rims in ATIV MT as well? The ATIV MT 1.3 in its listing: “185/60/R15 Alloy Rims” are mentioned. 
Infotainment / Audio System Limited Edition gives a 6.8-inch capacitive touchscreen, Bluetooth, USB/AUX, MirrorLink, etc., as free upgrades.  ATIV MT has a more basic in-dash audio with MP3 / CD / Bluetooth / USB etc. 
Exterior / Styling Limited Edition might include aesthetic upgrades (better alloy, possibly different trim) but not a full body-kit or anything major. The promotion is cosmetic / multimedia enhancements.  Styling is standard for ATIV; no limited cosmetic upgrades in base MT variant. 
Driving Feel CVT is smoother in stop-and-go traffic; less clutch effort; potentially more fuel-inefficient in aggressive acceleration. Manual gives more control, potentially a bit higher fuel efficiency in certain driving styles; more driver involvement.
Resale & Popularity Automatic variants often in demand for ease, especially in cities; Limited Edition upgrades may help resale. Manual variants are sometimes preferred for simplicity and lower maintenance, but resale value depends on region and buyer preferences.

• If most of your driving is city / traffic, stop-and-go, you value comfort: GLI CVT Limited Edition is more comfortable, easier to drive, nicer features.
• If you drive often, prefer tactile control, want lower running cost, aren’t too bothered about fancy add-ons: ATIV MT 1.3 might be more sensible.
