Even though the Toyota Rumion is built on the same chassis as the Ertiga, it features various unique design characteristics that differentiate it visually from the popular MPV.

Inside, the Toyota Rumion showcases a dual-tone black and beige dashboard adorned with faux wood accents. It comes equipped with a range of comfort-oriented features such as cruise control, automatic climate control, and a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system compatible with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The Toyota Rumion is fueled by a 1.5-litre petrol engine that delivers 102 hp and 138 Nm of torque. This engine is paired with either a five-speed manual or an automatic torque converter transmission that drives the front wheels. Additionally, there is a CNG variant that produces 87 hp and 121 Nm of torque, available with a manual transmission.

This family-friendly MPV offers a fuel efficiency of 20.5km/l, which is comparable to its Maruti Suzuki equivalent. On the other hand, the CNG version, equipped with a factory-installed kit, achieves an impressive mileage of 26.11km/kg.
