Toyota Glanza Gets New G MT Base Variant: Specs, Features, Price Inside

Back in June this year, Toyota Glanza was launched in India at the price range of Rs 7.22 lakh to Rs 8.90 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). And now, the automaker has introduced a new G MT (manual transmission) base variant for its Maruti Suzuki Baleno-based premium hatchback Glanza. Yes, you read it right. The price for the G MT variant of Toyota Glanza has been set at Rs 6.98 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). It is to be noted that both the entry-level variants will co-exist and will continue to get the same features and creature comforts. 

The premium hatchback is offered in two variants - G and V, in four different iterations depending on the engine and transmission i.e. G MT, G MT (Smart Hybrid), V MT, G CVT and V CVT. The petrol engine on the Toyota Glanza are BS6 compliant, while there are no diesel engine options. 

Toyota Glanza G variant comes equipped with the regular 1.2-litre VVT petrol engine. The 1197 cc, four-cylinder engine is tuned to churn out 82 bhp at 6,000 rpm, which is about 6 bhp less than what the mild hybrid version makes. The torque output, however, is the same 113 Nm at 4,200 rpm. Toyota Glanza will get a 5-speed manual gearbox as well as the option of a CVT. 

Toyota Glanza comes with LED projector headlamps, LED rear combination taillamps, diamond-cut alloy wheels, chrome grille, chrome door handles, touchscreen infotainment system, voice command and steering mounted controls among others.
