The Glanza will roll out across India from ₹7.5 lakh, the lowest tier of the line, on 14 October.
The teaser shows a new front: the Toyota crest has been lifted to the bonnet, a chrome U‑shaped chin replaces the old black block, and square LED fog lamps give the bumper a sharper bite. A bright‑red paint job in the clip hints at a few subtle color options that could follow.
Under the hood, the car is expected to adopt the Baleno’s 1.2‑litre Z‑Series three‑cylinder engine, delivering 83 bhp and 112 Nm of torque. A five‑speed manual will sit beside an AMT, and a CNG‑powered version may also arrive later this year. The shift to a smaller engine could change how the car feels in city traffic, so a test drive is a must.
Inside, ventilated front seats and a nine‑inch infotainment screen are likely, with Level‑2 ADAS possibly trimmed to higher variants. These features match what the updated Baleno offers, so buyers will need to compare variant‑wise pricing and warranty terms.
The Glanza has always been a rebadged Baleno, so its 2026 facelift will likely keep most mechanicals intact but lean on branding for a premium feel. That means the price hike will be modest, but the added name‑plate could justify a few extra bucks for those who care about the Toyota badge.
The car will debut in major metros first, with Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru getting it at launch, followed by tier‑2 cities in November. Keep an eye on the dealer network for official launch events and test‑drive schedules.
