Toyota Glanza Facelift Launch on 14 October: Expected Price, Features, Engine

The Toyota Glanza facelift is reported to launch in India on 14 October 2026, just two days from now. It is expected to bring a new 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine, updated styling and more features. Early estimates put the ex-showroom price between Rs 6.75 lakh and Rs 10.25 lakh.

Toyota has not yet released an official price list, so most details below come from media reports and dealer sources. We will update this article once the official figures are out.

When Is the Toyota Glanza Facelift Launching?

Multiple reports point to 14 October 2026 as the launch date. The Glanza is Toyota’s version of the Maruti Suzuki Baleno and shares its platform and mechanicals with it. The Baleno facelift has already arrived, so the Glanza update follows its sibling.

What Is the Expected Price of the Glanza Facelift?

The current Glanza costs Rs 6.73 lakh to Rs 9.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The facelift is expected to cost slightly more because of the new engine and added equipment.

Another estimate is lower, at roughly Rs 7.00 lakh to Rs 8.50 lakh. Because estimates differ, wait for Toyota’s official announcement before planning your budget.

What Engine and Mileage Can You Expect?

Reports say the facelift gets a new 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine in place of the existing setup. One report quotes 81 bhp and 112.4 Nm of torque. Manual and AMT gearboxes are expected, along with a CNG variant.

Claimed mileage figures doing the rounds are:

At 22.94 kmpl, a 1,000 km trip would use about 43.6 litres of petrol. Claimed figures are measured under test conditions, so real-world numbers are usually lower. Treat these as unconfirmed until launch.

What New Features Will the Glanza Facelift Get?

Toyota usually keeps the Glanza’s body shape and changes the front and rear styling to set it apart from the Baleno. That approach is expected to continue.

Features reported so far include:

• A 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system
• Wireless phone charging
• A 360-degree camera
• Six airbags
• Connected-car features and new upholstery

Some reports also mention features from the Baleno facelift that could carry over, such as ventilated front seats and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS).

Will It Get Level 2 ADAS?

Reports disagree here. Some say Level 2 ADAS is coming, while another says it is unlikely. Until Toyota publishes the variant-wise feature list, assume ADAS is possible but not guaranteed, and probably limited to higher variants.

Which Cars Will It Compete With?

The Glanza facelift is expected to take on the Hyundai i20 and Tata Altroz in the premium hatchback segment. Its closest relative is the Maruti Suzuki Baleno. The two share the same mechanical changes, so the real choice will come down to styling, equipment, pricing and Toyota’s warranty and service offer.

Should You Wait for the Glanza Facelift?

If you are shopping for a premium hatchback, it is worth waiting two days for the official prices and variants. The new engine, CNG option and possible safety upgrades could change which variant gives you the best value.
