2026 Toyota Glanza claimed mileage compared with rivals

Toyota has launched the 2026 Glanza, with prices ranging from Rs 6.99 lakh to Rs 10.98 lakh (ex-showroom). One of the biggest changes in the facelifted model is a new Z-series 1.2-litre 3-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, less powerful than the previous K-series 4-cylinder mill but offering better fuel efficiency. Both the petrol and CNG versions are offered with a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed automated manual transmission (AMT).

The 2026 Toyota Glanza rivals the Maruti Baleno, Hyundai i20 and Tata Altroz. Except for the missing CNG option on the i20, all rivals offer manual and automatic gearboxes with petrol and CNG versions. Here’s how the Glanza’s claimed mileage compares with the rivals.

The petrol-powered Toyota Glanza and Maruti Suzuki Baleno deliver identical claimed fuel efficiency figures, as the two premium hatchbacks are badge-engineered siblings. However, compared to its predecessor, the facelifted Glanza offers improved efficiency, with the petrol-MT and petrol-AT variants delivering 1.45kpl and 1.83kpl more, respectively. The 2026 Glanza petrol-MT is also 4.47kpl more efficient than the Tata Altroz with the same powertrain. While the claimed mileage figures for the Altroz petrol-AMT and the Hyundai i20 petrol-MT and petrol-AMT are yet to be announced, the Glanza and Baleno are expected to retain their advantage in terms of claimed fuel efficiency.

The Hyundai i20 is the only premium hatchback in the segment without a CNG option, while all other models offer CNG with both MT and automated manual AMT choices. The Toyota Glanza and Maruti Suzuki Baleno lead the segment in claimed CNG fuel efficiency, with identical mileage figures, just like their petrol counterparts. The Glanza CNG-MT is 2.81km/kg more efficient than the Tata Altroz CNG-MT. However, the claimed mileage for the Altroz CNG-AMT is yet to be announced. Compared to the previous model, the Glanza CNG-MT also delivers a 3km/kg improvement in fuel efficiency.

Interestingly, the Tata Altroz is the only premium hatchback to offer a diesel engine, and the i20 N Line offers a turbo-petrol engine; such options are not available with the 2026 Toyota Glanza.
