Toyota has launched the 2026 Glanza facelift in India, with prices starting at Rs 6.99 lakh (ex-showroom). Alongside styling revisions, it replaces the outgoing model’s four-cylinder petrol engine with a new 1.2 litre three-cylinder unit and introduces a five-speed AMT option for CNG variants. The updated hatchback is available in five trims: E, S, G, V and V (O).
The revision follows the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, the Glanza's badge-engineered sibling, which received a facelift the previous month. The Baleno also brought in the 3-cylinder Z12E engine, along with an updated Level-2 ADAS suite.
Toyota has announced prices for the petrol-manual versions of all five trims, while prices for the remaining powertrain and transmission combinations are yet to be revealed.
