2026 Toyota Glanza price in India
The announced starting prices for the five trim levels are listed below. These are ex-showroom starting prices, not final on-road quotations.
| Variant | Starting ex-showroom price |
|---|---|
| E | ₹6.99 lakh |
| S | ₹7.71 lakh |
| G | ₹8.73 lakh |
| V | ₹9.99 lakh |
| V(O) | ₹10.49 lakh |
These variant starting prices were reported by Autocar India’s launch report. Before paying a booking amount, request a written, variant-specific quotation from an authorised Toyota dealer and confirm whether the price refers to manual, AMT, petrol or CNG.
Remember: the on-road price can include road tax, registration, insurance, FASTag and optional accessories. Compare equivalent quotations rather than comparing one car’s ex-showroom price with another car’s on-road price.
Engine, power and fuel efficiency
The facelift introduces Toyota’s 1.2-litre, three-cylinder Z12E petrol engine. Toyota lists petrol output at 61 kW (approximately 83 PS) and 112.4 Nm of torque. The CNG powertrain is listed at 51.3 kW (approximately 70 PS) and 101.8 Nm. The switch to a three-cylinder unit replaces the outgoing four-cylinder petrol engine.
Toyota’s announced fuel-efficiency figures are 23.80 km/l for the manual petrol variant and 24.77 km/l for the AMT petrol variant. Actual mileage depends on traffic, road conditions, driving style, load, tyre pressure and maintenance. Certified figures should not be treated as a guarantee of everyday fuel economy.
The addition of AMT to CNG variants gives buyers another option if they want the running-cost benefits of CNG with less frequent manual gear shifting. Confirm the exact fuel and transmission combination available for the variant and location you intend to buy.
Exterior design: What has changed?
The updated Glanza gets a revised front appearance, including a newly designed grille, a sportier front bumper and side-skirt details. Toyota also lists LED projector headlamps, LED daytime running lamps, automatic headlamps with welcome-home lighting, LED rear combination lamps and a rear wiper. The overall update is evolutionary rather than a completely new-generation design.
Toyota has announced seven colour choices, including new Bluish Black and Digital Teal Green shades. Colour availability can vary by variant and dealer stock, so ask to see the current colour chart before finalising your booking.
Cabin, comfort and connectivity features
The dashboard layout remains broadly familiar, but the refreshed model adds comfort and convenience equipment. Announced highlights include ventilated front seats, wireless smartphone charging with cooling, a head-up display, dual-tone interiors, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, automatic climate control, rear AC vents, a 60:40 split rear seat and tilt-and-telescopic steering adjustment.
The 22.86 cm Smart Playcast Pro infotainment system supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Toyota i-Connect offers connected functions such as remote vehicle access, vehicle-health information and safety alerts, subject to the package, phone compatibility and network availability. Ask the dealer to demonstrate the features in the exact trim you are considering.
Safety: Level 2 ADAS and other equipment
One of the most notable additions is a Level 2 advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) package. Toyota lists features such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, lane-departure warning, lane-departure prevention, autonomous emergency braking and high-beam assist. The model also includes a tyre-pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
Other announced safety equipment includes six airbags, ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution, vehicle stability control, hill-hold control, a 360-degree camera, rear parking sensors and ISOFIX child-seat anchorages. Driver-assistance systems support the driver; they do not make a car self-driving. Drivers must remain attentive and follow road rules at all times.
Before booking, confirm which ADAS functions are standard on your chosen grade, how they operate in Indian road conditions, and whether any features differ between manual, AMT, petrol and CNG versions.
How does the new Glanza compare with rivals?
The Glanza competes in India’s premium-hatchback segment, where buyers may also consider the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, Hyundai i20 and Tata Altroz. The right choice depends on the variant price, safety equipment, seating comfort, real-world fuel costs, warranty, service access and the features you will actually use.
| What to compare | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Variant-equivalent price | Compare similar equipment and transmission, not just the entry-level price. |
| Fuel and gearbox | Choose petrol or CNG and manual or AMT based on your commute and local fuel access. |
| Safety equipment | Check the exact variant’s airbags, stability control, ADAS and child-seat provisions. |
| Comfort and space | Test rear-seat room, boot capacity, visibility and ease of entry for your family. |
| Ownership support | Ask for warranty terms, service intervals, roadside assistance and scheduled-maintenance costs. |

Bookings, delivery timeline and what buyers should check
Toyota’s launch release says bookings open from 15 October 2026 with a booking amount of ₹11,000, and deliveries are expected to start in the first week of November. Delivery timing may differ by variant, colour, city and dealer allocation. Confirm the latest position directly with an authorised Toyota dealership before making travel or payment plans.
- Get the final on-road quotation with insurance and registration itemised.
- Confirm the exact variant, engine, fuel type and transmission on the booking form.
- Ask which ADAS, infotainment and comfort features are included in that trim.
- Read the booking cancellation and refund terms before paying.
- Confirm the estimated delivery date in writing and ask how price changes, if any, will be handled.
- Test the seating position, visibility, rear-seat comfort, parking camera and infotainment system.
- Request the warranty booklet and details of scheduled service and roadside assistance.
Is the 2026 Toyota Glanza worth considering?
The refreshed Glanza looks worth a test drive for buyers seeking a compact hatchback with updated driver-assistance features, comfort additions and petrol/CNG choices. The starting ex-showroom price of ₹6.99 lakh places it in a competitive segment, while the claimed mileage figures may interest frequent commuters. However, equipment varies by grade and certified mileage is not the same as real-world results.
Make your decision after comparing the full on-road price, exact variant specification, practical cabin space, service costs and alternatives. Do not rely on a headline starting price alone.

Editorial note: This article is an informational launch summary, not a purchase recommendation or a guarantee of vehicle performance. Specifications and booking timelines are based on the manufacturer announcement available on 14 October 2026. Images used here are representative illustrations, not official Toyota Glanza photographs.
Petrol or CNG: Which Glanza should you consider?
Choosing between petrol and CNG is a running-cost decision as much as a purchase-price decision. Petrol may suit drivers who want straightforward refuelling across a wider range of routes, while CNG can be attractive to high-mileage commuters who have reliable access to CNG stations. Calculate your likely monthly kilometres and compare the current local fuel prices before deciding.
Do not compare fuel economy numbers alone. Check the purchase-price difference between equivalent variants, boot-space implications, the availability of CNG near home and work, and the manufacturer’s warranty conditions. Ask the dealer to explain the recommended service schedule for the exact powertrain. If you often travel outside cities, map the refuelling options along your regular routes before booking a CNG model.
Manual or AMT: What should a test drive cover?
A manual transmission gives the driver direct gear selection and may appeal to those who enjoy more control. An automated manual transmission (AMT) reduces the need to operate a clutch pedal, which can be useful in stop-start traffic. The driving feel is different, so a short test drive is more useful than choosing solely from a specification sheet.
During the test drive, try a slow-moving traffic section, a safe incline, a parking manoeuvre and a stretch where you can accelerate smoothly within the speed limit. Notice how the gearbox responds when pulling away, how easy the car is to position and whether the seating and visibility work for the people who will drive it most. Confirm whether the transmission you test is the same one quoted on your booking form.
Ownership costs beyond the advertised price
The ex-showroom price is only one part of the cost of owning a car. Request a written estimate covering registration and road tax, insurance, accessories, extended warranty if offered, and any finance processing charges. Optional accessories should be clearly separated from mandatory charges so that you can decide which items you actually need.
Also compare insurance cover, not just the premium. Check the insured declared value, deductibles, add-ons, cashless garage network and claim conditions. Ask for the scheduled service intervals and an estimate of routine maintenance. If you are financing the car, compare the total amount payable over the loan term, including interest and fees, rather than focusing only on the monthly instalment.
Questions to ask the Toyota dealer before booking
- Is the quoted amount for the exact variant and transmission I want?
- Are the announced prices final for my city, and what is included in the on-road quote?
- Which ADAS features are fitted to this grade, and can you demonstrate them?
- Are the new colour options available for immediate booking or subject to a waiting period?
- What are the cancellation, refund and price-change terms for my booking?
- What warranty applies to the vehicle and its powertrain, and what options are available?
- What are the expected delivery timelines for the selected fuel type, transmission and colour?
- Can I review the owner’s manual and service schedule before making a final decision?
Ask for important answers in writing. A verbal estimate can be useful for an initial discussion, but the booking documents and final invoice should clearly identify the variant, price, accessories and applicable terms.
Who might the updated Glanza suit?
The Glanza may be worth shortlisting for urban households, first-time buyers and commuters looking for a hatchback with a compact footprint. The refreshed comfort equipment and driver-assistance functions may appeal to buyers who value convenience, while petrol and CNG choices offer different ways to manage everyday running costs. The right fit still depends on actual space needs, driving patterns, budget and local service support.
Families with frequent highway use should pay particular attention to seating comfort, luggage capacity, headlamp performance, tyre condition and the behaviour of safety-assistance features. Buyers who regularly carry older adults or children should check rear-seat access, child-seat anchorages and the ease of fastening seatbelts. Features on a brochure matter most when they are present on the grade you can afford and will use them confidently.
How to verify the latest specifications and prices
New-car information can change as manufacturers publish variant-level details, offers and dealer allocations. Before visiting a showroom, check the official Toyota launch announcement and contact an authorised dealer for the latest availability. Independent launch coverage from Autocar India can provide an additional comparison, but the signed quotation and manufacturer documentation should guide your purchase.
When checking specifications across websites, make sure the information relates to the 2026 facelift rather than an earlier model year. Confirm whether a figure is a manufacturer’s claim, a certified test figure or a real-world observation. This distinction is especially important for mileage, safety equipment and expected delivery dates.
