New Toyota Glanza Launched: Fresh Looks, ADAS Tech and New Engine
Tracking the updated Toyota Glanza price specs brings an interesting shift into focus when you walk into any showroom today. While everyone keeps chasing high-riding compact crossovers, the humble hatchback still does the heavy lifting for daily office commutes. Toyota has rolled out the updated Glanza in India, starting at ₹6.99 lakh ex-showroom..
Look, we all know it shares its bones with the Maruti Baleno. But this time around, Toyota has pushed the visual difference further, added Level 2 ADAS on the top trim, and swapped in a new three-cylinder engine under the bonnet.
Here is what actually matters if you are planning to put your hard-earned money down on one.
That Lexus-Style Front Nose and Subtle Design Tweaks

Straight up, the biggest talking point sits right on the nose. Toyota dropped the polite, curvy face for a bold hexagonal grille that looks like it took direct inspiration from an expensive Lexus showroom.
The chrome slats across the front are quite prominent, but to be fair, they do not look tacky in person. Sitting right below the badge is a small front camera, with an ADAS radar module tucked neatly into the lower air dam. You still get projector headlamps with tidy LED daytime running lights, though Toyota somehow kept basic halogen bulbs for the turn signals.
Down the sides, nothing has really been messed with:
- You get the familiar 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels riding on 195/55 rubber.
- The ride height stays at 170 mm, which properly clears nasty city speed bumps without scraping the belly.
- Chrome handles come with keyless request buttons on both front doors.
- Round the back, the wide LED tail lamps and the 318-litre boot remain untouched, easily swallowing a couple of full-sized weekend bags.
Living with the Cabin: Ventilated Chairs and Real ADAS

Step inside, and the dashboard setup feels properly modern for daily driving.
The centre of the dashboard gets a crisp 9-inch touchscreen that hooks up wirelessly to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto without dropping connections every ten minutes. In front of the steering wheel, you still get two clear analogue dials flanking a digital screen, backed up by a neat pop-up Heads-Up Display that shows your speed right in your line of sight.
What really separates this update from the older car is convenience:
- Level 2 ADAS: Available on the top V (O) grade, using windscreen cameras and radar to run Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, and High Beam Assist.
- Ventilated Front Seats: Keeps your back completely dry during sticky summer traffic, even though the blower hums a bit on the highest setting.
- Everyday Kit: A wireless phone charging pad, 360-degree cameras for tight basement parking, and dedicated Type-C fast chargers for rear passengers.
The only real gripe in the back is the missing centre armrest. The rear bench offers plenty of knee room for average adults, but on longer highway runs, an armrest would have made things far cosier.
