Toyota Glanza Facelift Launched at ₹6.99 Lakh — Check the Variant Before Chasing ADAS
Illustration: FlamingPiston; not a photograph of the new Glanza.
Toyota launched the updated Glanza in India on 14 October 2026, with a starting price of ₹6.99 lakh ex-showroom and bookings at ₹11,000. The additions include CNG with an automated manual transmission and Level 2 driver assistance. The important buying detail is that those features do not all belong to the same variant. [1]
The Detail Worth Checking First
The cheapest Glanza, the CNG automatic and the ADAS-equipped Glanza are different shopping choices. Decide which problem you want the car to solve before comparing the headline price with the launch car’s equipment.
CNG Automatic Is the Everyday News
Toyota’s published variant table lists CNG manual and AMT options in S and G trims. The petrol line-up extends to V and V(O); the entry E is manual. [2] For someone who spends much of the week in traffic, combining CNG running costs with a two-pedal transmission is a practical reason to look again at this hatchback.
That still calls for a proper test drive. Ask to drive the CNG AMT you intend to order, rather than a petrol manual demonstration car. Try slow traffic, a gentle incline and a normal overtaking manoeuvre. A showroom conversation cannot tell you whether the gearbox’s behaviour suits your driving.
ADAS Is on V(O), Not Every Glanza
The official equipment table places adaptive cruise control and the listed Level 2 assistance functions on V(O). Ventilated seats, the head-up display and the 360-degree camera appear on V and V(O). Six airbags are listed across the range. [2]
| Your priority | Where to start looking |
|---|---|
| Lowest entry price | E petrol manual |
| CNG with two pedals | S CNG AMT or G CNG AMT |
| Ventilated seats and 360-degree camera | V or V(O), subject to final specification |
| Listed ADAS package | V(O) |
Choose the trim from the equipment sheet, not from a photograph. A top-variant feature on the launch display does not turn into standard equipment when it appears beside the starting price.
The Ownership Comparison Is Worth Making
Toyota quotes a standard three-year/100,000 km warranty and an extension option up to five years/220,000 km. Read the terms and exclusions for the selected plan, including the applicable time or distance limit. [1] Compare the actual package you would buy, rather than assuming every warranty advertised by a brand is included in the invoice.
Also ask the nearest service centre about appointment availability and routine service pricing. For a car that may stay with you for years, a convenient workshop and a clearly explained quotation can matter more than a small launch-day accessory bundle.
Where It Leaves the Baleno
The refreshed Glanza makes the decision more interesting for buyers already considering a Baleno. Our Glanza versus Baleno comparison separates the entry-price difference from the CNG automatic decision. The two should not be compared simply by putting the cheapest version of one beside a well-equipped version of the other.
This is a launch and specification report. We have not driven the new Glanza, so there is no invented ride-quality verdict or road-test score here. The first useful test is the exact version you can actually buy.
