Toyota Rumion vs Maruti Suzuki Ertiga: Key differences
- Toyota Rumion comes as the rebadged iteration of the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga MPV.
With the Toyota Rumion launched in India at a starting price of ₹10.29 lakh (ex-showroom), the MPV segment of the country's car market is making headlines again. The Toyota Rumion comes as the third product in India after the Glanza and Urban Cruiser from the Japanese automaker under its global model and technology-sharing agreement with Suzuki.
The all-new Toyota Rumion comes as a rebadged iteration of the popular Maruti Suzuki Ertiga MPV and also shares the powertrain and feature list with the latter. However, there are a handful of differences between the two.
Here are the key differences between the Toyota Rumion and Maruti Suzuki Ertiga.
Front grille
The immediate distinguishing element between the two MPVs is the front grille on the Rumion. It gets a mesh pattern in the front fascia surrounded by a chrome trim. In the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, the front grille gets swathes of chrome trims at the centre of the grille.
Revamped bumpers
The front bumper of the Toyota Rumion has been completely revamped compared to the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. It gets a brushed aluminium insert highlighting the lower air intake, while the fog lamp housings too look different in both the MPVs.
Different alloy wheels design
While both the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and the newly launched Toyota Rumion come fitted with 15-inch alloy wheels, the latter sports a different design. The alloy wheel design in the Toyota Rumion looks more stylish and sportier than the Ertiga.
