Tata Altroz vs Toyota Glanza: which should you buy?
The Tata Altroz starts at ₹6.30L against the Toyota Glanza's ₹6.73L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹0.43L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹9.99L, where the Glanza tops out. Past that only the Altroz has anything left to sell you, up to ₹10.77L.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Altroz comes in petrol, diesel and CNG, the Glanza in petrol and CNG.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹9.99L to both showrooms and you come out with the Altroz Creative S at ₹9.82L or the Glanza V at ₹9.99L, the Altroz leaving ₹0.17L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.17L more for the Glanza V: 360° camera and head-up display. The useful extras on top: speakers (6 against 4) and auto headlamps. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Glanza V: 60:40 split rear seat, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Glanza V, you give up single-pane sunroof, touchscreen (10.25" against 9") and wireless CarPlay / Android Auto, which the Altroz Creative S keeps
- Choose the Tata Altroz Creative S if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.17L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Toyota Glanza V if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
