The Toyota Glanza, essentially a cross-badged Maruti Suzuki Baleno, is the first product of the Toyota-Suzuki alliance. It has the job to generate volumes for Toyota in the premium hatchback segment which previously the Etios Liva didn't quite do. Initially, the Glanza was launched just with the mild-hybrid variants, but just last week Toyota has added a new entry-level variant in its line-up as well. Going forward, Toyota's position in the Indian market could be seen improving further, more so with the cross-badged Vitara Brezza and Ertiga joining the party by 2022.
