Overview
- Toyota launched the 2026 Glanza facelift in mid‑October with a starting price of ₹6.99 lakh and a five‑grade lineup that tops out at about ₹10.98 lakh, with bookings open and deliveries due from early November.
- The car replaces its outgoing four‑cylinder with Maruti’s 1.2‑litre Z12E three‑cylinder engine offered in petrol and CNG forms, and for the first time provides an AMT option on CNG variants to ease urban commuting.
- Toyota lists improved economy for the new engine—about 23.80 km/l (manual petrol), 24.77 km/l (AMT petrol), 33.61 km/kg (manual CNG) and 34.47 km/kg (AMT CNG)—but peak power is modestly lower than the old unit.
- Level 2 ADAS (adaptive cruise control, lane‑keeping assist, autonomous emergency braking) is fitted to the top V(O) grade and early Autocar India drives found the ADAS well calibrated and the AMT CNG easier in stop‑start traffic.
- Toyota positions the Glanza as a premium Baleno sibling by charging roughly Rs 71,000–1,00,000 more on petrol trims and Rs 76,000–99,000 more on CNG trims while adding ventilated seats, wireless cooled charging and Toyota branded ownership services, though some rivals offer certain comfort items the Glanza omits.
