The hatchback is available only with a petrol engine and choices between a manual gearbox and a CVT gearbox. The Toyota Glanza looks very similar to the Maruti Suzuki Baleno it is based on.

The few aesthetic changes it features include a new front grille that has been styled in the Toyota family's contemporary design language and it gets an extra dose of chrome. Up front is a redesigned bumper and air dam with new fog lamp mounts.
