Exterior changes

As we can see from the video, the Glanza looks sharper and more aggressive than the 2022 Baleno. This is because of the different front fascia that Glanza comes with. It gets a more aggressive front bumper with horn-like plastic cladding, there are also chrome surrounds around the fog lamps and a different front grille.

There is also a different front grille in which we can see some hints of the Toyota Camry. Then there is the different set of headlamps. They are still LED projector units and even the design of the headlamp is the same. What Toyota has changed is the design of the LED Daytime Running Lamps. Baleno comes with three individual dots as the DRL whereas Toyota has given a light strip.

Then we move to the sides, where we can see a new set of diamond-cut alloy wheels. They are still 16-inch diamond-cut units. There are no other changes to the side or at the rear. It comes with the same set of LED tail lamps.

Interior changes

Toyota has made some changes to the interior of the Glanza so that it can differentiate itself from the Baleno. Glanza comes with a black and a beige interior theme whereas the Baleno gets a black and blue theme. This gives a more airy and up-market feel to the cabin.

The dashboard layout and the steering wheel is the same as the Baleno. But, Toyota decided to change the silver inserts in the dashboard and steering wheel to piano-black which does look better. The rest of the cabin and the layout stays the same as the Baleno.
