Toyota Glanza vs Skoda Superb [2014-2016]

As we bid farewell to the Toyota Glanza, we reflect on the aspects that have truly won us over and the areas where it could potentially improve.

The Skoda Superb is probably the best example of (VFM) value-for-money cars ever – it is not a tightly packaged entry-level hatchback from the Pacific Rim that gets applause for the price tag. In fact, it is European and of such generous size that even the mightiest of Scandinavians won’t grimace at the prospect of using this for daily commute. In size it is almost on par with the Mercedes E-Class or BMW 5 Series – of course it does not offer all the gizmos, but then costs a fraction of the money that not only lets you put the rest to better use but also allows you to slip under the radar if you don’t like unnecessary attention – say from the income tax department!

After the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios served its term admirably, I was handed over the keys to my newest long-termer, and I am happy to report that it’s another hatchback! It’s the Toyota Glanza painted in ‘Café White’.
