Toyota Glanza

The Toyota Glanza is a small car that Toyota sells in India, based on the Suzuki Baleno introduced in September 2015. It follows from the partnership Toyota and Suzuki agreed in 2017, in which Suzuki develops vehicles for India and Africa that are then also sold as Toyotas. Toyota presented the Glanza for the Indian market in June 2019, where it gets tax relief because it is just under four metres long. In September 2020 Toyota announced a slightly restyled version for Africa, starting in South Africa, under the name Starlet, reviving a name used on the Yaris predecessor from 1978 to 1999; the Glanza name had earlier belonged to sporty versions of the Starlet P9. In India the car uses a 1.2-litre petrol engine, and a natural gas version followed in November 2022. A revised model was presented in India in March 2022 and in Africa in May 2022.
