Yet another update about the price hike is here, and this time it is the twin of the Maruti Baleno, the Toyota Glanza. This has been the trend this year with all the manufacturers. The rise in the prices is attributed to the stricter RDE norms and rising inflation. Other manufacturers like Honda, Hyundai, and Maruti Suzuki sail on the same boat.
Let's look at the quantum of this hike along with the new vs old price list.
