The 2026 Glanza now starts at ₹6.99 lakh and tops out at ₹10.98 lakh. The price jump of ₹0.26 lakh over the 2022 model is reflected mainly in the new V(O) trim, which adds Level‑2 ADAS and sits above the V variant. The V(O) petrol‑manual variant comes at ₹10.49 lakh, while the top‑tier petrol‑AMT version costs ₹10.98 lakh.
Under the hood, Toyota swapped the old 1.2‑liter four‑cylinder K‑Series for a lighter 1.2‑liter three‑cylinder Z‑Series. The new engine delivers 82 horsepower and 112 newton‑metres, a drop from the 89 hp/113 Nm of the previous generation, but the smarter combustion and revised gear ratios give a claimed 24.77 km/l on AMT versus 22.94 km/l before.
The most headline‑making addition is the Level‑2 ADAS suite—forward‑collision warning, adaptive cruise control, lane‑keeping assistance and automatic emergency braking. For a segment that has seen the i20 and Baleno roll out their own driver‑assist packages, the Glanza’s system comes as a standard in the higher trims and a plus in the V(O) variant, giving buyers a safety edge that usually carries a premium in this price bracket.
Inside, the Glanza keeps its familiar layout but ups its kit: ventilated front seats, a wireless phone charger, a six‑speaker Clarion audio system, and leatherette upholstery. Automatic climate control is now limited to the higher trims, and the cabin still feels spacious, but the added tech makes the ride feel more premium without a radical redesign.
The facelift is slated to roll out across all major Indian cities starting October 12, with the first units hitting the showroom in Delhi and Mumbai. Buyers can expect a two‑month window before the vehicles reach the smaller metros, giving dealerships time to stock the new V(O) variant and the updated CNG‑AMT option.
Looking ahead, the Glanza’s launch nudges Toyota closer to its target of a 20% EV share by 2025. For enthusiasts, the next thing to monitor will be whether the brand will extend the Level‑2 ADAS across the entire range or introduce a dedicated electric Glanza in the coming years.
