Toyota Glanza gets cheaper, now priced from INR 6.98 lakh
The Toyota Glanza that was launched in June this year has become more accessible now. Its prices now start at INR 6.98 lakh*, almost INR 23,000 lower than before.
The lower entry-price is the result of the introduction of a new configuration - G MT. This configuration is powered by the K12M 1.2-litre VVT naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine that produces 61 kW (82.9 PS) at. 6,000 rpm and 113 Nm of torque at 4,200 rpm. It is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission. The fuel economy rating is 21.01 km/l. The same engine can be teamed with a CVT optionally, although that brings down the fuel economy to 19.56 km/l.
The Toyota Glanza can be had even with even the more advanced and more powerful K12N 1.2-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine that develops 66 kW (89.7 PS) at 6,000 rpm and. 113 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm. This engine is assisted by a 12-volt mild-hybrid system that not only makes the driving smoother and slightly better in performance but also results in a much better fuel economy of 23.87 km/l. On selecting this engine, a 5-speed manual transmission becomes standard.
In terms of features, the G grade includes climate control, a height-adjustable driver’s seat, a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth connectivity, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, dual-tone alloy wheels, steering-mounted audio controls and push-button start-stop system. Since its June 2019 launch, Toyota Kirloskar Motor has sold over 11,000 units of the Glanza. It is offered with a longer, 3-year/1,00,000 km warranty plan instead of its donor car's 2-year/40,000 km warranty plan.
