Rumion powertrains

Powering the Rumion will be a 1.5-litre petrol engine which will come mated to 5-speed manual and 6-speed torque converter automatic transmissions. Like the donor model, the Maruti Eritga, there’ll also be a CNG kit on offer with the manual, which will deliver 26.11km/kg, as claimed by Toyota.

Prices of the Toyota Rumion will be slightly higher than the Maruti Ertiga, which currently ranges from Rs 8.64 lakh to Rs 13.08 lakh (ex-showroom). It will be considered as an alternative to the likes of Kia Carens, Renault Triber, and Mahindra Marazzo.
