Toyota Glanza Facelift Expected October 14 With Baleno-Like Updates
Toyota may launch a refreshed Glanza car in India on October 14.
The company has not officially confirmed the launch yet.
The car is based on the Maruti Suzuki Baleno.
It may get small outside changes instead of a completely new shape.
Inside, it could receive more safety and comfort features.
These may include six airbags, driver-assistance technology and ventilated seats.
The engine may also change to a new three-cylinder petrol engine.
Buyers are expected to keep the choice of a manual or AMT gearbox.
The refreshed car could be slightly more expensive than the current one.
Toyota Kirloskar Motor appears set to introduce the updated Glanza in India on October 14, though the launch has not been officially confirmed.
The facelift is expected to bring a revised grille, minor bumper and lighting changes, redesigned alloy wheels and new exterior colours.
Likely cabin upgrades include Level 2 ADAS, tyre-pressure monitoring, six airbags, ventilated front seats and improved wireless charging.
The Glanza could replace its existing 1.2-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with a 1.2-litre three-cylinder Z-Series unit.
The updated model may cost more than the current Rs 6.73 lakh–Rs 9.99 lakh ex-showroom range and retain manual and AMT options.
