The Toyota Glanza is a premium hatchback that is positioned under Rs. 10 lakh. It brings a sense of value to the segment with its relatively lower price tag and Toyota badge. The Toyota badge also means that you get the after-sales experience of Toyota, which is cherished quite a bit. As far as competition goes, the Glanza competes against the Maruti Suzuki Baleno (which it is based on), the Tata Altroz and the Hyundai i20. The Glanza has a key role to play for Toyota in the Indian market. It adds a small car to Toyota’s India line-up, bringing in more consumers at the lower end of its spectrum. As for customers, the Glanza differentiates itself from the Baleno by offering a better warranty package, adding a sense of security to the ownership experience. You should then be looking at the Glanza if you enjoy the after sales experience of Toyota, and if you munch a lot of miles as the added warranty sweetens the deal.
