The Toyota Rumion is a rebadged version of the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, aimed at buyers seeking a practical and efficient MPV with Toyota’s aftersales support. Positioned in the compact seven-seater category, the Rumion shares its platform, dimensions, and mechanicals with the Ertiga, while adding Toyota-specific cosmetic elements and branding. First launched in India in August 2023, it is now available in three variants and includes a recently introduced automatic trim (G AT). With the addition of a CNG option, the Rumion continues to cater to both private car buyers and fleet operators.
The Toyota Rumion price ranges between ₹10.66 lakh and ₹13.95 lakh. The S trim forms the entry point, while the G and V trims occupy the mid and top tiers, respectively. The newly launched G automatic variant is priced at ₹13.22 lakh, while the V automatic tops the range at ₹13.95 lakh. The automatic variants start from ₹12.16 lakh. Toyota also offers a factory-fitted CNG variant on the S trim, priced at ₹11.61 lakh. All aforementioned prices are ex-showroom.
The Rumion was launched in the Indian market in August 2023. Prior to this, it made its debut in South Africa in October 2021 as a part of Toyota’s global strategy to rebadge Suzuki products under their alliance.
The Rumion is available in three variants: S, G, and V. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed torque converter automatic for the petrol versions. The CNG variant is available only on the S manual trim. Customers can choose from five single-tone colour options: Spunky Blue, Rustic Brown, Iconic Grey, Cafe White, and Enticing Silver.
Toyota claims a fuel economy of 20.51 kmpl for the petrol-manual variants and 20.11 kmpl for the automatic trims. The factory-fitted CNG version returns a claimed efficiency of 26.11 km/kg. As always, real-world figures may vary based on terrain, load, and driving habits.
The Rumion is powered by a 1.5-litre, four-cylinder K-series petrol engine rated at 101.5 bhp and 137 Nm of torque. It is available with either a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed torque converter automatic. The CNG variant produces 86.7 bhp and 121.5 Nm and is paired exclusively with the manual gearbox.
In terms of features, the Rumion offers a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, steering-mounted audio controls, push-button start/stop, automatic climate control, keyless entry, and electrically foldable ORVMs. The V trim gets additional features such as alloy wheels, front fog lamps, and a rearview camera. While the cabin layout mirrors that of the Ertiga, the Rumion gets Toyota-specific badging and minor trim differences.
The Toyota Rumion comes equipped with standard safety features such as dual airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, ISOFIX mounts, electronic stability control, and hill-hold assist. The higher variants include four airbags, front fog lamps, and a rear parking camera. The Rumion has not been tested by Bharat NCAP or Global NCAP, but its sibling model, the Ertiga, received a 1-star rating under Global NCAP’s revised test protocol for the South African market in 2024.
There are no official manufacturer-level offers announced for July 2025, though dealer-level benefits may be available depending on location and stock. Interested buyers are advised to check with local Toyota dealerships for the latest updates on discounts or exchange bonuses.
The Toyota Rumion competes directly with the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and XL6, Kia Carens, and the Renault Triber in the compact MPV segment.

Glanza or Baleno, Taisor or Fronx, Innova Crysta or Invicto? These are some of the obvious questions that pop up every time Toyota and Maruti Suzuki take a model from the other and present a re-badged version to customers in India. Rebadging a successful model and presenting it with a largely identical resume has its strengths and weaknesses but does it make sense to the most important factor determining success - the customer? This is exactly what we sought to find out when we recently took out the Toyota Rumion for a highway jaunt.
The name ‘Rumion’ itself is a combination of two words - roomy and unique. And while it sure is roomy (more on this later), it surely isn't unique. Definitely not in the way it is styled.
The front grille and the lower half of the bumper is tweaked very slightly and a Toyota logo is plonked on the face. The alloy design too is different and the rear gets Toyota and Rumion lettering. And that's really that.
Same proportions, same dimensions, same cuts, curves and creases - heck, some cars appear unique at close inspection but the Rumion is almost identical to the Ertiga even at close angles.
Of course, that is not to say that the design language is shabby in any way. There is a comforting familiarity about the Rumion's visual language from the outside. It is just that there is hardly anything to set it apart.
Step inside the Toyota Rumion and even the slightest semblance of uniqueness disappear. Apart from a Toyota logo on the steering wheel, everything is just as what it is inside the Ertiga - same dashboard layout and materials, same infotainment unit, same steering wheel, same seat fabric and layout, same storage spaces, same charging options, same driver display - yes, same everything.
It is obvious then that the Rumion benefits from Ertiga's inherent strength of offering three rows of relatively roomy cabin. It is a people mover done in simplistic best. But to expect anything extra, anything a bit flashy would be undeniably ambitious. The Rumion's cabin is plain, much like that of the Ertiga. But much like that inside the Ertiga, it is also functional and has plenty of space for families looking to travel together.
The Toyota Rumion is powered by a 1.5-litre petrol motor and also comes with the option of a factory-fitted CNG kit. There is around 103 hp and the same mild-hybrid technology found on the Ertiga has been carried forward to here.
The Rumion isn't an excitable MPV but is every bit the mile-muncher that the car it is based on has always been. The engine, paired to a five-speed manual gearbox, is peppy enough within city limits and the stick has relatively short throws to help matters.
During the course of our 600-km drive from Delhi to Rupnagar in Punjab, and back, we weaved through congested lanes of Najafgarh for around two hours to get an idea of what this Toyota MPV has on offer. Slotting in the right gear was no problem and the soft clutch press was easy on the leg. Of course, there is a torque converter on offer as well although we have not driven that version yet.
On expected lines, the Rumion was a stable affair once open stretches beyond Murthal dawned upon us, gaining pace through gradual step ups of the gear shift. On the flipside, there is hardly any urgency in the abilities of this vehicle and the engine groans when being pushed towards and through to triple-digit speeds. A sixth gear is sorely missed and while maintaining a speed of 100 kmph is fairly easy, anything more would be asking for a bit too much.
Instead, the Rumion is happy munching mile after mile after mile, keeping passengers comfortable and the driver reassured through a slightly weighted steering. There is some degree of body roll but that was always on the cards.
The Toyota Rumion excels and falls short on precisely the same points as the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. It is reliable, comfortable and with a calculated mileage of around 18 kmpl (City + Highway), it is frugal too. It has the essential features in its kitty and has plenty of room in its cabin. What it is not is excitable to drive, flashy or packed with features.
The Rumion makes a solid case but why should you choose it over Ertiga? Well, Toyota commands massive respect courtesy its robust post-sales quality. It is also a respected brand so that is there too. But the Rumion is also more expensive than the Ertiga. In conclusion though, check the waiting time of both models and if an urgent requirements, choose the one with the lower wait period. One way or another, you cannot go wrong with this trusty model or the model on which it is based on.
