Toyota India has announced that it will launch the new Toyota Glanza hatchback in India on March 15. Like earlier, the GLanza will be based on the Maruti Suzuki Baleno. The Baleno has just been heavily reworked and the new changes can be expected on the Toyota Glanza as well. The new Glanza start off a strong push by Toyota for the Indian market which will see a slew of models being launched over the next two years.

Visible is a new Toyota-themed grille quite similar to the international-spec Yaris, as well as a large and wide airdam with chrome highlights. The alloy wheel design is also different from the new Baleno. Changes to the rear should be limited to a mildly different bumper.
