Six airbags, shiny bits, and a name that sounds like it just walked the red carpet — Toyota Glanza gets a glamorous update
Bangalore – In a world of budget hatchbacks that often treat safety like an optional garnish, Toyota Kirloskar Motor has pulled out the big airbags — literally. In a move that’s part reassurance, part red carpet rollout, the company has announced six airbags as standard across all variants of the Toyota Glanza, along with a limited-period ‘Prestige Package’ that adds just the right amount of bling to your morning commute.
Because nothing says “I care about my passengers” like six cushions inflating in milliseconds while your door visors glisten in chrome.
Safety First, But Make It Standard
With safety norms evolving and buyers getting smarter, Toyota’s decision to make six airbags standard is as timely as a monsoon downpour in Bangalore. Whether you’re buying the base model or the top-spec trim, you now get comprehensive airbag coverage — a real “inflated value” proposition, and for once, it’s a good thing.
“It’s like hugging your entire family in a moving car,” said a Toyota spokesperson, not officially, but probably in spirit.
Prestige Package: Because Even Hatchbacks Deserve Some Drama
Running from XX June to 31st July 2025, the new Prestige Package is Toyota’s way of saying, “Why not accessorize your car like you accessorize your Instagram selfies?”
Here’s what’s inside the Prestige package, apart from an ego boost:
- Premium door visors (for dramatic exits)
- Chrome & black body mouldings (because subtlety is overrated)
- Rear lamp garnish (to impress those tailgaters)
- Chrome garnishes for ORVMs and fenders (extra shine, extra fine)
- Rear skid plate (urban jungle, sorted)
- Illuminated door sills (enter like a boss)
- Lower grille garnish (because your grille deserves attention too)
Toyota didn’t just give the Glanza some bling – it gave it a wardrobe change worthy of a fashion week finale.
Glanza: Still Gliding, Still Glorious
Celebrating six successful years and over 2 lakh units sold, the Glanza remains the unofficial car of choice for the urban multitasker who wants premium flair without frightening the bank manager.
Powered by a 1.2L K-Series engine, the Glanza claims up to 22.94 km/l (AMT) and 30.61 km/kg (CNG) — enough mileage to skip at least one small argument at the petrol pump. With segment-first features like a 9-inch infotainment screen, HUD, 360-degree camera, and Toyota i-Connect, the Glanza continues to pretend it’s a luxury sedan that just happens to be under 4 meters.
Hatchback with a Halo
The Glanza now checks even more boxes: safety, style, tech, comfort, and value. And with prices starting at just Rs. 6.90 lakh (ex-showroom), it continues to be the responsible grown-up’s answer to “What car should I get that won’t bore me in a week?”
Whether you buy it for the airbags, the chrome, or the sheer peace of mind that comes with the Toyota badge, one thing’s for sure — this Glanza isn’t just safe. It’s stylishly safe.
And frankly, who doesn’t want a hatchback that’s safer than your last relationship?
