Toyota Glanza: What’s new?

The MY2025 Toyota Glanza has been equipped with 6 airbags across all variants, bumping the hatchback’s safety quotient.

The hatchback comes with a 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, a 360-degree camera, cruise control, a Heads-Up display and more. It will also come with Toyota’s i-Connected platform, which offers additional connected car tech options like remote access and control, find my car, tow alert, and geo-fencing.
