Which Toyota Glanza variant should you buy?
Considering the good mix of useful and feel-good features, as well as the powertrain options on offer, the mid-spec G variant is the one we recommend. It’s also one of the only two Glanza trims to offer the full range of engine and transmission options, adding further to its appeal. The Glanza G range starts at Rs 8.73 lakh and goes up to Rs 10.23 lakh.
Ex-showroom prices mentioned above are as on October 14, 2026.
Following the arrival of its Maruti Suzuki counterpart, the 2026 Toyota Glanza facelift has also been launched. Available in five trim levels, the updated Glanza is sold in 83hp petrol and 70hp CNG guises, with a choice of manual and AMT gearboxes. There are also new features that include ventilated seats, a Clarion audio system, TPMS and Level 2 ADAS.
Toyota has launched the 2026 Glanza facelift in India, with prices starting from Rs 6.99 lakh (ex-showroom). It is being offered in five trims: E, S, G, V and V (O). In addition to a revised fascia, the 2026 Glanza gets a new 1.2-litre 3-cylinder petrol engine and fresh features like ventilated front seats, a wireless phone charger and an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) suite.
- Gets a revised fascia, new alloy wheel design, shark-fin antenna
- Dashboard is unchanged, and it gets additional features now
- Powered by a new, more fuel-efficient 1.2-litre 3-cylinder engine
The Toyota Glanza facelift continues to lock horns with the Maruti Suzuki Baleno (Rs 5.99 lakh to Rs 9.99 lakh), Hyundai i20 and i20 N Line (Rs 6 lakh to Rs 11.64 lakh) and Tata Altroz (Rs 6 lakh to Rs 10.90 lakh).
2026 Toyota Glanza powertrain
A more fuel-efficient 3-cylinder engine replaces the older 4-cylinder unit
The 2026 Glanza is offered with a new Z12E 1.2-litre 3-cylinder naturally aspirated engine that runs on both petrol and CNG. In petrol mode, it produces 83hp and 112Nm and is available with a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed automated manual transmission (AMT). While the output figures are 7hp and 1Nm lower than the outgoing model’s 4-cylinder engine, fuel efficiency has increased slightly. The petrol engine also has an idle start/stop function that generally improves fuel efficiency.
In CNG mode, the same engine produces 70hp and 102Nm, and is also offered with both 5-speed MT and 5-speed AMT options. The output figures are 7hp less but 4.5Nm more, and it offers higher claimed mileage.
2026 Toyota Glanza exterior design
Has a new fascia with a larger grille, redesigned front fog lamps and new colours
The 2026 Toyota Glanza gets a revised fascia, featuring a larger grille with chrome trims on both sides, and a radar module that enables ADAS features. The headlights are the same as the older model, but the LED fog lamps have been redesigned. The front Toyota logo has also been repositioned to the plastic trim underneath the bonnet. A new shark-fin antenna is also on offer, and two new exterior colours have been added.
In profile, it gets the same 16-inch alloy wheels and the chrome door handles and chrome window line trim also continue on the facelifted model. The rear design sees no changes as well. It continues with the wraparound LED taillights, a roof-mounted spoiler, and a rear wiper and washer.

1. Maruti Suzuki Baleno
The Maruti Suzuki Baleno topped the September 2026 sales rankings with 25,392 units, compared with 13,173 units in September 2025. Its dispatches increased 93 percent year on year, the highest growth rate among the 10 models. The premium hatchback recently received a facelift and is sold through Maruti Suzuki’s Nexa dealership network. It rivals the Hyundai i20, Tata Altroz and Toyota Glanza. The Baleno is priced between Rs 5.99 lakh and Rs 9.99 lakh.
2. Tata Nexon
The Tata Nexon, including the Nexon EV, recorded 20,456 units in September 2026, down 9 percent from 22,573 units in the same month last year. It finished second, just 123 units ahead of the Punch. The Nexon is available with petrol, diesel, CNG and electric powertrains. It rivals the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet and Mahindra XUV 3XO and is priced from Rs 7.40 lakh to Rs 14.52 lakh for the ICE powered Nexon, while the Nexon EV starts at Rs 12.49 lakh and goes up to 17.89 lakh.
3. Tata Punch
The Tata Punch, including the Punch EV, recorded 20,333 units in September 2026, up 28 percent from 15,891 units a year earlier. It ranked third in the overall list, with the Nexon finishing narrowly ahead. Tata’s smallest SUV is offered with multiple powertrain options, while its compact dimensions and ride-and-handling balance remain key strengths. The Punch rivals the Hyundai Exter and Citroen C3 and is priced from Rs 5.75 lakh to Rs 10.77 lakh. The Punch EV meanwhile is priced from Rs 9.79 lakh to Rs 12.99 lakh.
4. Maruti Suzuki Fronx
The Maruti Suzuki Fronx ranked fourth in September 2026 with 19,282 units, compared with 13,767 units in September 2025. Its dispatches increased 40 percent year on year. The Fronx’s crossover styling, comfortable cabin and fuel-efficient powertrains continue to support demand, although it lacks some popular features. It rivals the Nissan Magnite and Renault Kiger and is priced between Rs 6.85 lakh and Rs 11.84 lakh.
5. Maruti Suzuki Wagon R
The Maruti Suzuki Wagon R recorded 18,835 units in September 2026, up 22 percent from 15,388 units in the same month last year. It finished fifth in the rankings. Its spacious cabin, ease of driving and low running costs remain key strengths, although its light build and limited highway ability are drawbacks. The Wagon R rivals the Tata Tiago and Citroen C3 and is priced between Rs 4.99 lakh and Rs 7.24 lakh.
6. Maruti Suzuki Dzire
The Maruti Suzuki Dzire recorded 17,754 units in September 2026, down 11 percent from 20,038 units in September 2025. It ranked sixth and was the only sedan in the top 10. Strong fleet demand, fuel efficiency and a well-balanced ride and handling setup continue to support the compact sedan’s volumes. The Dzire rivals the Hyundai Aura, Honda Amaze and Tata Tigor and is priced between Rs 6.31 lakh and Rs 9.41 lakh.
7. Hyundai Creta
The Hyundai Creta, including the Creta Electric, recorded 17,657 units in September 2026, a 6 percent decline from 18,861 units in the year-ago month. It was the only Hyundai model in the top 10, finishing seventh. A roomy cabin, multiple powertrain options and a long feature list continue to attract buyers, although the top variants are expensive and some interior plastics could be better. The Creta rivals the Kia Seltos, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, Honda Elevate and Tata Sierra. It is priced between Rs 10.91 lakh and Rs 20.14 lakh.
8. Maruti Suzuki Swift
The Maruti Suzuki Swift recorded 17,399 units in September 2026, up 12 percent from 15,547 units a year earlier. It finished eighth and was one of three Maruti Suzuki hatchbacks in the top 10. Its high fuel efficiency, light controls and easy-to-drive nature continue to support demand, although the top variants are priced close to the more premium Baleno. The Swift rivals the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios and Tata Tiago and is priced between Rs 5.84 lakh and Rs 8.74 lakh.
9. Mahindra Scorpio
The Mahindra Scorpio, combining the Scorpio N and Scorpio Classic, recorded 17,313 units in September 2026. This was down 6 percent from 18,372 units in September 2025, placing it ninth. The Scorpio nameplate remains popular for its strong engines, rugged character and off-road ability. However, the third-row seating is cramped and the luggage area is not particularly practical. The Scorpio N rivals the Tata Safari, Hyundai Alcazar and Mahindra XUV 7XO and is priced from Rs 13.69 lakh to Rs 25.49 lakh.
10. Maruti Suzuki Ertiga
The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga completed the top 10 with 16,911 units in September 2026, up 40 percent from 12,115 units in the same month last year. It was the sixth Maruti Suzuki model in the rankings. The Ertiga continues to hold the title of India’s highest-selling MPV. Its practical cabin, strong fuel efficiency and value-for-money positioning attract both private and fleet buyers, although it misses out on some features offered by rivals. It is priced from Rs 8.90 lakh to Rs 13.04 lakh and rivals the Kia Carens and Toyota Rumion.
All prices are ex-showroom, India.
Toyota has teased the Glanza facelift for the first time ahead of its October 14 launch. The teaser shows glimpses of the facelifted Glanza’s fascia, while the rest of the design changes are under wraps. The Glanza facelift is also expected to get additional features and a new engine under the hood, similar to its badge-engineered Maruti Baleno sibling.
- Teaser reveals a larger grille, revised fog lamps and a repositioned Toyota logo
- Expected to be offered with additional features like ventilated seats, ADAS
- Could get a new Z12E 3-cylinder petrol engine from the 2026 Maruti Baleno
Toyota Glanza facelift teased: What was seen?
Teaser reveals a larger grille and redesigned front fog lamps
The teaser shows the Glanza facelift with a large grille featuring honeycomb mesh and chrome strips on the sides. The Toyota logo has shifted from the grille to a body-coloured trim over it. There is a thick chrome strip under the logo spanning from one headlight to the other. The teaser video also shows the revised LED fog lamps.
Other elements, including the headlights with LED DRLs and the taillights, are expected to be similar to the outgoing model. The only other expected change on the outside could be the design for the 16-inch alloy wheels.
Toyota Glanza facelift: Other expected changes
Ventilated front seats, ADAS, wireless phone charger expected to be added
While the interior design is expected to be similar to the outgoing model, the facelift could add new features like ventilated front seats, a wireless phone charger with cooling vents underneath it, and a Clarion sound system. On the safety front, a new advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) suite is expected to be offered.
New Z12E 3-cylinder petrol engine is expected to power it
The Glanza facelift is expected to be offered with the Z12E 1.2-litre 3-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine that also does duty in the 2026 Baleno. The engine produces 83hp and 112Nm, which is 7hp and 1Nm less than the outgoing model’s K12N 4-cylinder petrol engine, but is more fuel efficient. A 70hp, 102Nm CNG option is also expected to be offered at launch.
Currently, the Glanza is offered with a choice between a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed automated manual transmission (AMT), which are expected to be carried over to the facelifted model. However, the CNG choice is available only with a manual transmission in the outgoing model, but the Baleno CNG is offered with an AMT option too. It will be interesting to see if Toyota offers an AMT option with the Glanza CNG.
With the facelift, the Toyota Glanza’s prices are expected to be rejigged from the current Rs 6.73 lakh to Rs 9.99 lakh range (ex-showroom). It will continue to rival the Maruti Baleno, Hyundai i20 and Tata Altroz.
Toyota is all set to launch the Glanza facelift on October 14, 2026, about a month after the launch of the 2026 Maruti Suzuki Baleno facelift. The Japanese automaker has released an official teaser, giving us a glimpse of the upcoming premium hatchback’s design. Here’s what you can expect from the 2026 Toyota Glanza facelift.
1. What will the 2026 Toyota Glanza facelift look like?
Official teaser shows the hatchback sporting a thoroughly revised front fascia
While the Japanese automaker is yet to fully reveal the 2026 Glanza facelift, the teaser gives us a decent glimpse of this hatchback’s front fascia. Understandably, there are some similarities between the upcoming Glanza and the updated Maruti Baleno. Like the latter, most of the changes to the outside are to be focused up front. This starts with the Toyota logo, which has been moved from the grille to the leading edge of the bonnet.
Another noticeable design cue on the front fascia of this facelift is the shiny garnish that extends down into the revised bumper. The circular fog lamps of the outgoing model have now been replaced by rectangular units, while the revised air-intake sports a hexagonal pattern. The 2026 Toyota Glanza facelift could also get an ADAS unit at the front like the updated Baleno. There could be new colour options, with dimensions of the upcoming Glanza facelift unlikely to change.
2. How different will the interior of the Toyota Glanza facelift be?
Cabin is likely to retain the familiar layout of the outgoing model
Like the updated Baleno, the interior design and layout of the 2026 Toyota Glanza facelift are also expected to stay largely unchanged. This means that we can expect to find the same layered dashboard, plenty of physical switchgear, and a dash-top infotainment screen as in the pre-facelift model. What could be new are additional buttons on the steering wheel, tied to the expected ADAS feature.
3. What features are expected with the 2026 Toyota Glanza facelift?
Highlights with update could include Level 2 ADAS and ventilated front seats
Toyota could introduce the 2026 Glanza facelift with the set of new features that the updated Maruti Baleno received. This means niceties like ventilated front seats, a wireless charging pad with cooling, and an upgraded audio system could be made available on top trims. Features like the 9-inch touchscreen, automatic climate control and connected car tech are to be carried over.
The upcoming Glanza facelift’s safety add-ons are likely to include Level 2 ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) and a tyre-pressure monitoring system (TPMS). Like with the updated Baleno, the former’s functionalities would include adaptive cruise control with auto-emergency braking and lane-keep assist. Other safety features like the 360-degree camera, head-up display, hill-hold assist, stability control and 6 airbags could be retained as well.
4. What engine and gearbox will the Toyota Glanza facelift use?
A three-cylinder petrol engine is expected to replace the outgoing four-cylinder unit
A major change with the 2026 Toyota Glanza facelift is expected under the bonnet. The 1.2-litre four-cylinder K-series petrol engine from Maruti is to be replaced by the brand’s newer 1.2-litre three-cylinder Z-series unit. In the updated Baleno, this mill produces 83hp and 112Nm – down from 90hp and 113Nm developed by the older four-cylinder engine.
Gearbox options are expected to remain the same, which means a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT (automated manual transmission). Similar to the outgoing Glanza, the facelift is also expected to be available in CNG variants. The output figures for the Glanza CNG facelift could be comparable with its Maruti counterpart, where the output is 70hp and 102Nm. Fuel efficiency is expected to improve over the outgoing model, which for reference is rated at between 22.35kpl and 22.94kpl.
5. What is the expected price of the 2026 Toyota Glanza facelift?
The updates could lead to a bump in price over the outgoing model
Considering the feature additions and design updates, the upcoming Toyota Glanza facelift could be priced higher than its predecessor. For reference, the outgoing Glanza is priced between Rs 6.73 lakh and Rs 9.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The Toyota Glanza facelift will continue to compete against the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, Tata Altroz and Hyundai i20.
Toyota ने 2026 Glanza Facelift की पहली झलक दिखाई है। कंपनी इस कार को 14 अक्टूबर को लॉन्च करने वाली है। टीजर में कार का अगला हिस्सा दिखाया गया है, जिसमें Toyota का लोगो बोनट पर दिया गया है। इसके अलावा, आगे की तरफ क्रोम की नई डिजाइन और चौकोर LED फॉग लैंप हाउसिंग भी देखने को मिलती है।
Glanza असल में Maruti Suzuki Baleno का रीबैज्ड वर्जन है। ऐसे में इस टीजर से अंदाजा लगाया जा सकता है कि नई कार में क्या बदलाव देखने को मिल सकते हैं। इसमें नया इंजन भी दिया जा सकता है, हालांकि Toyota ने अभी इसकी पुष्टि नहीं की है।
फिलहाल, कंपनी ने नई Glanza की कीमत का खुलासा नहीं किया है। वहीं, मौजूदा मॉडल की कीमत 6.73 लाख रुपये से 9.99 लाख रुपये के बीच है। आइए जानते हैं कि टीजर में कार के बारे में क्या जानकारी मिली है, इसके इंटीरियर और इंजन में क्या बदलाव हो सकते हैं और बुकिंग से पहले किन बातों का ध्यान रखना चाहिए।
Toyota Glanza Facelift: टीजर में क्या-क्या दिखता है
वीडियो में सिर्फ कार का अगला हिस्सा दिखाया गया है। Toyota का लोगो अब बोनट पर आ गया है और बंपर पर U-शेप वाला हिस्सा, जो पहले काला होता था, अब क्रोम का है। फॉग लैंप्स नए चौकोर हाउसिंग में LED वाले हैं, जबकि हेडलैंप क्लस्टर में कोई बदलाव नहीं दिखता। टीजर में दिखाई गई कार लाल रंग की है।
वीडियो में कार का इंटीरियर और पिछला हिस्सा नहीं दिखाया गया है। एक महीने पहले Baleno के अपडेट पर लोगों की मिली-जुली प्रतिक्रिया आई थी, क्योंकि उसका अगला हिस्सा बदला था जबकि बाकी कार लगभग वैसी ही रही थी। इसलिए Glanza में भी शायद यही पैटर्न अपनाया जाएगा बाहर से स्टाइल में बदलाव, और असली अपडेट्स अंदर और बोनट के नीचे होंगे।
Toyota Glanza Facelift: इंजन और गियरबॉक्स
उम्मीद है कि Glanza में Baleno वाला नया 1.2-लीटर Z-सीरीज थ्री-सिलेंडर पेट्रोल इंजन इस्तेमाल होगा, जो 83 bhp की पावर और 112 Nm का टॉर्क देगा। इसमें 5-स्पीड मैनुअल और AMT गियरबॉक्स के ऑप्शन मिल सकते हैं, साथ ही CNG वेरिएंट आने की भी उम्मीद है। Toyota ने अभी तक इनमें से किसी भी बात की पुष्टि नहीं की है। अगर आप अभी Glanza चला रहे हैं, तो नई वाली को खरीदने का फैसला करने से पहले उसकी टेस्ट ड्राइव जरूर लें, क्योंकि थ्री-सिलेंडर इंजन का रिफाइनमेंट और कम स्पीड पर रिस्पॉन्स अलग हो सकता है।
Toyota Glanza Facelift: केबिन और फीचर्स
नई Baleno को देखते हुए, इसमें वेंटिलेटेड फ्रंट सीट्स, लेवल 2 ADAS और 9-इंच का इंफोटेनमेंट सिस्टम होने की उम्मीद है। ये सिर्फ उम्मीदें हैं, कोई आधिकारिक घोषणा नहीं; और यह जानना दिलचस्प होगा कि किन वेरिएंट्स में ज्यादा एडवांस्ड फीचर्स मिलेंगे।
Toyota Glanza Facelift: कीमत और मुकाबले की गाड़ियां
मौजूदा Glanza की कीमत 6.73 लाख रुपये से 9.99 लाख रुपये (एक्स-शोरूम) के बीच है, और उम्मीद है कि इसके फेसलिफ्ट वर्जन की कीमत थोड़ी ज्यादा होगी। इसका मुकाबला Maruti Suzuki Baleno, Tata Altroz और Hyundai i20 से जारी रहेगा। चूंकि Glanza और Baleno के मैकेनिकल पार्ट्स एक जैसे हैं, इसलिए इनके बीच चुनाव करने से पहले इनके अलग-अलग वेरिएंट की कीमतों, फीचर्स और वारंटी की शर्तों की आपस में तुलना जरूर करें।
