For starters, It's a beautiful looking car no denying the fact. A top selling hot hatch. It's a light weighing car with 700-800 kgs(kerb). It's just the Baleno which got rebadged with Toyota symbol on steering wheel, front and back, along with small tweaking on the front grill, remaining all is the same as Baleno. I don't know why does a Toyota car is rolling out of a Suzuki's factory makes sense? Where's the quality, durability, and reliability of the Toyota when it weighs 800kg. Of course yeah Toyota's trying to fill the void in that segment as the live and Etios eventually became car wala. So anyway which Toyota is offering a lot to it. So firstly it is available in a lot of colors. And only available in petrol, in both automatic and manual transmission. It's the k series 4 cylinder Petrol engine producing 90ps of power at 6000rpm(5-speed manual - as the k series engine got a bit upturned), 83ps of power at 6000rpm(automatic - CVT unit) and 113 nm of torque at 4400rpm. In terms of infotainment, it gets a touch screen unit which supports apple car play and Android auto connectivity with smartphone-based navigation. Sound quality is decent and not the best around. It also gets reverse parking camera, tilts and telescopic steering with steering mounted controls. The interactive TFT multi-info display provides a lot of info including real-time torque and power meters. Coming to comfort and convenience it gets passive entry and push/button start. The boot has 339lts of space which is decent enough for weekend drives. Mileage is around 16-18km/lt based on your driving conditions and style. It also gets UV protected glass which is unique, auto ac, auto-dimming inside rearview mirror, follow me home lamps, auto headlamps. Anti-pinch driver power window. It also has front 2 srs airbags, abs with EBD and brake assist. It gets 16" alloy wheels. If you want the bells and whistles you can pay more for accessories and get a lot of chrome finishing as Toyota is famous for fitting in more chrome everywhere as far as possible. In fact, you can also get aero kit which includes front bumper and rear bumper spoiler, side skirt. So if you want a car under 10 lakhs and a strong, reliable Toyota badge you can close your eyes and buy Glanza. As Toyota is offering 8 mins quick service for free and 3 years warranty. Pros:- 1)well renown car Baleno platform 2)bang for the buck with a lot of features 3) Toyota badge 4) automatic transmission available 5) decent power Cons:- 1)it weighs low so might be less rigid 2) Its a Baleno and not Toyota's manufacturing.
