Toyota’s upcoming premium hatchback Glanza is yet again spotted but this time it is all in flesh. Here is a snippet of Toyota Glanza prepping up for a TVC in Goa.
Toyota Glanza is the first product of the manufacturer under a partnership with Maruti India. It will be followed by other cars too like Ciaz, Ertiga and Brezza. The Glanza is produced at Maruti’s Suzuki Gujrat plant alongside Baleno.
Toyota Glanza – the rebadged Maruti Baleno looks identical to its cousin. The car which can be seen is the top of the line ‘V’ trim. It features projector headlamp design with LED DRL’s and LED Tail-lamps. The car sits on 16-inch alloy wheels. The only difference on the exteriors one will notice is the Toyota badging on the front grille and on the rear boot-lid. The front grille is a revised two-slat chrome grille and looks shinier than before.

Toyota Glanza will get the same 1.2-litre VVT engine churning out 82bhp with 114Nm of torque. It will be mated to a 5-speed manual as well as CVT transmission.
