FY2025: Toyota Glanza sales vs. competitors

Maruti produces the Toyota Glanza at Suzuki Motor Corp’s (SMC) Gujarat plant. Launched in June 2019, it took the Glanza close to four years to reach the 1 lakh sales mark, but the next 1 lakh models saw despatches in just one year, nine months.

The Glanza’s best-ever fiscal year has been FY2024, with 52,262 units leaving dealership lots in the full 12-month period. It has a preliminary 40,742 units sold in the first 10 months of FY2025. The Glanza is not doing too shabby in the market either, with despatches for the car this fiscal sitting between that of the Hyundai i20 (47,434 units) and Tata Altroz (31,925 units). This is just a fraction of the 1,39,324 units the Maruti Baleno managed to shift in the same time period.

Funny enough, the share of Glanza’s sales per every number of Balenos sold now shows an upward curve. In FY2020, the proportion of Glanzas to Balenos it was selling stood at merely 13.51 per cent, and given the data for the present fiscal, it’s at 29.24 per cent. If this sales pace continues, the sum of despatches of the Baleno and Glanza from the SMC factory will easily cross the 2 lakh mark by the end of FY2025.

Toyota’s Glanza on sale only with petrol and significant CNG powertrain options, former getting manual and AMT auto choices, latter only manual. The premium hatchback is offered in a total of nine variants priced from Rs 6.90 lakh to Rs 9.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
