Toyota Kirloskar Motor launchds the Rumion MPV in August 2023. The B-segment MPV shares its platform with the Maruti Ertiga and can be termed as a badge engineered initiative.
The Rummion differentiates itself in terms of features when compared to the Ertiga even though the two share the same vehicle architecture, including powertrains and transmissions.
Subject to increasing inflow of enquiries and healthy bookings, the Rumion has seen the demand for its CNG version outpace others in particular.
To avoid customer inconvenience due to longer waiting period, Toyota Kirloskar Motor has temporarily halted bookings of the E-CNG option. The company has kept the booking open for the petrol NeoDrive versions.
