Toyota has launched the Rumion, a 7-seater MPV, which is all set to give a jolt to the Indian automotive market. Built on the same platform as the popular Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, the Rumion offers a great blend of style, practicality, and fuel efficiency. But does it have what it takes to dethrone the reigning champion?
Design and Comfort
The Rumion sports a contemporary, stylish exterior design with sharp lines and an aggressive road presence. Inside, it is spacious, well-appointed, and able to seat up to seven. Toyota has given much attention to comfort, offering plush seating and generous legroom in both the first and second rows. While the third row is better suited for children or shorter journeys, it offers surprising versatility for a vehicle in this segment.
Features and Technology
While the Rumion shares many of its features with the Ertiga, Toyota has added its own unique touches. The infotainment system is user-friendly and supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making it easy to connect your smartphone. Other notable features include automatic climate control, cruise control, and a rearview camera. Higher trims offer additional amenities such as alloy wheels, LED headlights, and a sunroof.
Performance and Fuel Economy
Under the hood, the Rumion has a 1.5-liter petrol engine with a healthy dose of performance and economy. Paired with either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission, the Rumion has a smooth, refined drive. Toyota claims excellent fuel economy figures, making the Rumion a great choice for those looking to minimize running costs.
Pricing and Competition
The Toyota Rumion is good in terms of pricing and definitely a value buy. Compared with the Maruti Ertica, the higher price of this model is relatively worth it against its premium feel and even some extra comfort and convenience for a few money spent. The nearest rivals of the car include Kia Carens and Mahindra Marazzo.
Conclusion
Toyota Rumion is quite the interesting new comer in the segment of 7-seater SUVs. Coming with such good design and sensible interior along with fabulous fuel efficiency, the new entrant gives enough competition to Maruti Ertiga. Perhaps, the product may not defeat Ertiga in a broader perspective but this new addition in the market can definitely grab all the available opportunities.
