Most affordable hatchback launched by Toyota, priced at INR 6.39 lakh: Details inside
Toyota Kirloskar Motor, on Tuesday, launched the 2022 iteration of hatchback ‘Glanza’ in the country for a starting price of Rs 6.39 lakh (ex-showroom, India). Touted as the most affordable Toyota in India, the new Glanza features a new sporty design and will be available in both manual as well as automatic transmission options.
Toyota had already begun accepting bookings for the new Glanza and one can make an advance payment of Rs 11,000 as a token via its dealership for the same. The new Toyota Glanza goes up against the likes of Maruti Suzuki Baleno, Tata Altroz, Hyundai i20, VW Polo and Honda Jazz.
The prices for the Glanza’s base E trim starts at Rs 6.39 lakh and goes up to Rs 9.69 lakh for the top-spec S automatic trim (ex-showroom, India). Interestingly, this is also the first Toyota hatchback in India to come with an AMT gearbox.
Toyota Kirloskar Motor, which is a joint venture between Japanese automotive Toyota Motor Corporation and Indian conglomerate Kirloskar Group, had unveiled the re-badged Maruti hatchback just a few weeks after the Maruti Suzuki launched its Baleno.
To make the new Glanza stand apart from its Baleno counterpart, Toyota had installed a new, chrome-heavy grille at the front, which makes it look different from Baleno’s front fascia. However, in the previous models of the Glanza hatchback, there were hardly any significant differences between it and the Maruti’s counterpart as both the cars looked similar, except for the badges.
2022 Toyota Glanza design
The new Glanza, which still has much in common with the Baleno, has similar proportions and silhouettes. However, the new Toyota Glanza now sports a new Camry-like front grille, a sportier bumper and newly designed headlights with simpler LED DRLs.
The 2022 Toyota Glanza, in terms of inside, gets a layered dashboard and free-standing touchscreen infotainment system similar to the new Baleno’s design. However, the Toyota’s hatchback gets a black and beige colour scheme throughout the cabin, giving it an upmarket look compared to Baleno.
Hyundai India launched the much-awaited Creta Knight Edition in the country at a starting price of Rs 13.51 lakh (ex-showroom, all-India). This new variant is available in both petrol and diesel engine options and can be had either with a manual or an automatic transmission unit. To read more about the Creta Knight Edition, click here.

Furthermore, the company will offer the iMT option on the 1.5-litre petrol ‘S’ variant to further expand choices for the customers.
