- All other variants, including petrol and CNG models, have seen a uniform increase of ₹4,000.
- Interestingly, the top-spec V AMT variant remains unaffected by this revision.

Engine and Transmission
Mechanically, the Toyota Glanza remains unchanged. It continues to be powered by a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, producing 89 bhp and 113 Nm of torque. This engine is mated to either a five-speed manual gearbox or an AMT unit.
For buyers looking for a fuel-efficient option, Toyota also offers the Glanza with a factory-fitted CNG kit. In CNG mode, the power output is slightly lower at 77 bhp and 98.5 Nm, but it delivers improved mileage, making it a practical choice for city commuters.
Features and Rivals
The Glanza comes with a host of premium features such as a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a heads-up display, a 360-degree camera, six airbags, and connected car technology. It competes with models like the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, Hyundai i20, and Tata Altroz in the premium hatchback segment.
Toyota’s decision to increase the prices of the Glanza follows a trend seen across the auto industry, as manufacturers adjust pricing due to rising input costs. While the price hike is relatively small, buyers planning to purchase the Glanza may want to make their decision soon before further revisions.
