Toyota releases details about the new Rumion MPV – 3 trim levels, advanced features, impressive performance, and two engine options
Toyota has revealed the variant details of its latest offering in the Indian market, the Rumion. This new MPV is set to shake up the segment with its compelling features and diverse variants. Toyota Rumion is essentially a rebadged Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, sporting similar powertrain options and equipment. Let’s delve into the details of this Toyota Rumion.
Under the hood, the Toyota Rumion will be available with both petrol and CNG engine choices, catering to a range of consumer preferences. The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine packs a punch with 103 bhp and 137 Nm, offering spirited performance on the road. When running on CNG, the power output is slightly reduced to 88 bhp and 121.5 Nm, a trade-off for the increased fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness of the alternative fuel.
With the petrol engine, customers can choose between a 5-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed torque converter, ensuring a tailored driving experience. The CNG option, however, only comes with a 5-speed manual gearbox.
The Toyota Rumion will be offered in three distinct trims: S, G, and V. Let’s check out the features and equipment offered on each trim level, along with the powertrain options available with each.
