After the Etios Liva, the Glanza is Toyota’s second attempt at the hatchback segment in India. The name Glanza comes from a German word meaning ‘Radiance’. The Glanza will be available in four variants: G MT, V MT, G CVT, and V CVT.

The power is sent to the front wheels via a 5-speed manual or a CVT transmission.
