Rebranding has become very common in the industry over the years. What started with the Renault Duster and Nissan Teranno, is now being carried on by Maruti and Toyota. Just like we say the Nissan Micra and Renault Pulse, the Baleno and Glanza are the new hatchback twins on the market. Recently, both brands launched CNG variants of these hatchbacks. Today let’s check out the comparison of the Toyota Glanza CNG vs Maruti Baleno CNG!

Design
The dimensions of both these hatchbacks are exactly the same. Both the Glanza and the Baleno are manufactured in the same plant and are essentially the same inside out. However, you might notice some differences in the headlights, taillights, and alloy wheels. The Galnza looks a bit sharper while the Baleno looks more urban and contemporary. Overall the Glanza takes a small step ahead in terms of design in this comparison of Toyota Glanza CNG vs Maruti Baleno CNG.
