Toyota Glanza Facelift Launched at ₹6.99 Lakh in India

The 2026 Toyota Glanza facelift is on sale from today at ₹6.99 lakh to ₹10.49 lakh, ex-showroom, a ₹26,000 hike over the outgoing car. The number that matters more: Toyota is still charging close to a ₹1 lakh badge premium over the mechanically identical Maruti Baleno facelift it is built alongside.

Toyota launched the facelifted Glanza in India on October 14, 2026, with prices running from ₹6.99 lakh for the base E to ₹10.49 lakh for the range-topping V(O), ex-showroom, Delhi. That is a ₹26,000 jump over the outgoing model’s ₹6.73 lakh starting price, and it buys a new three-cylinder engine, a mild styling refresh at the front, and Level 2 driver assistance for the first time on this car, but only on the most expensive trim.

The Glanza is Toyota’s rebadged version of the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, built on the same line in Gujarat under the Toyota-Suzuki partnership, and that fact is unavoidable the moment you put the two price lists side by side. More on that below.

What Actually Changed on the 2026 Glanza

The outgoing Glanza’s 1.2-litre, four-cylinder K-series petrol engine is gone, replaced by a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder Z-series unit, the same engine Maruti fitted to the Baleno facelift in September and rates at 83bhp and 112Nm. A couple of pre-launch reports pegged the Glanza’s version at 81bhp, likely early rounding rather than a real difference, since both cars share the same assembly line.

Toyota carries over the 9-inch touchscreen, the 360-degree camera, hill-hold assist and stability control, and adds ventilated front seats, a ventilated wireless charging pad and tyre pressure monitoring, none of which the outgoing car had. Six airbags remain standard across the range. The genuinely new piece: Level 2 ADAS, adaptive cruise, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist and forward collision warning, lands on the Glanza for the first time, but only on the top V(O) trim.

Toyota Glanza Facelift Price List

Toyota is also expected to offer a factory-fitted CNG option, carried over in spirit from the outgoing car, likely tuned to around 70bhp and 102Nm and paired only with the 5-speed manual, mirroring the Baleno’s CNG range. Toyota has not announced Glanza CNG pricing or a specific trim at launch, so treat that engine option as confirmed in principle but not yet priced.

The Baleno Problem: Is the Toyota Badge Worth ₹1 Lakh?

Here is the number the launch-day listicles are skipping: the Glanza shares its platform, its engine and most of its cabin with the Maruti Suzuki Baleno facelift, which Maruti priced from ₹5.99 lakh in September. Line up the entry and top ADAS trims of both cars and the gap is consistent.

On The Spec’d’s own city price page, the equivalent Baleno Sigma Petrol MT comes to about ₹7.01 lakh on the road in Mumbai on its ₹5.99 lakh ex-showroom price, an estimate covering road tax, insurance and FASTag. Our Glanza page has not updated past the outgoing car’s ₹6.73 lakh base yet, so we are holding off on an on-road or EMI figure for the new Glanza until our data catches up; expect it to land within the ex-showroom gap above, plus the usual city charges.

What the extra ₹50,000 to ₹1 lakh buys is Toyota’s dealer network and its reputation for low-maintenance reliability, not extra hardware. That badge tax has existed since the Glanza launched in 2019, and this facelift does not close it.

Which Variant Should You Actually Buy?

Buy the G at ₹8.73 lakh. It gets you the full touchscreen and camera suite plus six airbags, without the ₹1.76 lakh jump to the ADAS-equipped V(O). Adaptive cruise and lane keep assist matter more on an open highway than in the stop-start traffic most Glanza buyers actually drive in, so that is a lot of EMI for tech you may rarely lean on in the city. If you do cover real expressway distance, the V(O)’s ₹50,000 step over the V for ADAS is the one genuinely good-value jump in the range. Skip the S, it costs almost as much as the G for a shorter features list.

For buyers cross-shopping the segment, the Glanza now sits inside the cars under ₹10 lakh bracket for every trim except the V(O), and goes head to head with its own Nexa twin on The Spec’d’s Baleno vs Glanza comparison, where the feature lists are nearly identical and the price is the entire argument.

The Glanza facelift is a genuinely better car than the one it replaces. It is just not a genuinely better deal than the Maruti it is built next to on the same line.

Is the Toyota Glanza facelift worth buying over the Maruti Baleno?

Mechanically, no, they share the same engine and platform, and the Baleno costs ₹50,000 to ₹1 lakh less at equivalent trims. The Glanza’s real edge is Toyota’s dealer network and resale reputation in some cities, not extra equipment.

What is new in the Toyota Glanza facelift?

A new 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine in place of the old four-cylinder unit, a revised front grille and bumper, ventilated front seats, a ventilated wireless charging pad, a tyre pressure monitoring system, and Level 2 ADAS, offered for the first time but only on the top V(O) trim.

Does the Toyota Glanza facelift get a CNG option?

Toyota has confirmed a factory-fitted CNG variant is coming, expected to use the same roughly 70bhp, 102Nm state of tune as the Baleno’s CNG range, but it was not priced at launch. Toyota has not said which trims will offer it.
