Maruti Suzuki Baleno Vs Toyota Glanza Features

rnThere is nothing that sets Toyota Glanza apart from Suzuki Baleno Maruti except the grille that gets triple chrome slats instead of the blacked-out mesh Baleno pattern. Of course, both hatchbacks carry their brand logo on the grille, while the bonnet, bumper, profile, and alloy wheels do not change. The rear, though, bears a clearer distinction as the Glanza has a Toyota badge on the center of the boot lid along with the car’s name on the left corner and variant name on the right. Even the color options of both cars are quite similar.rnrn Maruti Suzuki Baleno Vs Toyota GlanzarnrnOn the inside, the multi-function steering wheel unit remains unchanged, albeit with their respective brand’s logo.
