Toyota Glanza
Maruti Baleno’s twin from Toyota also makes it on this list of hatchbacks with the best legroom. The Baleno and the Glanza share everything, apart from aesthetics and hence the wheelbase is also identical. What makes the Glanza feel a bit more spacious is the beige inserts in the interior.
