Toyota Kirloskar Motor recently announced a price hike for the Urban Cruiser and the Glanza in India with effect from May 1, 2022. The move comes after the brand shared that there has been a significant hike in the input costs, thus affecting the operational costs for the brand. The Toyota Glanza and the Toyota Urban Cruiser price hike came into effect soon after the brand earlier announced a price hike for its other offerings including the Toyota Fortuner and the Toyota Innova.
The Toyota Urban Cruiser takes on the rivals like the Maruti Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Nissan Magnite, Renault Kiger, Tata Nexon, and the Mahindra XUV300. Due for an update soon, the new Toyota Urban Cruiser is currently only being offered with a petrol powertrain. While the brand is yet to share more details about the price, we are expecting a significant increase in the prices post this price hike.

The newly introduced Toyota Glanza on the other hand shares most of its parts, underpinnings, and powertrain options with the Maruti Baleno and boasts a spacious and feature-rich cabin. Having said this, this premium hatch takes on the rivals like Hyundai i20, Honda Jazz, and the Maruti Baleno. Just like the Urban Cruiser, the Glanza too is only offered with a petrol engine option.
Toyota is currently focusing on introducing a number of new hybrid powertrain options in the Indian market. The Japanese carmaker currently sells the Camry Hybrid and the Vellfire Hybrid in India and is expected to expand the Hybrid lineup even further.
