Toyota Rumion is one of the few Multi-Purpose Vehicles in India that are popular in both the private and commercial car markets. It is a 7-seater MPV that is quite similar to the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, as both cars are built on the same platform. The Rumion is known for its versatility and comfortable seating, and comes with a 1.5-litre petrol engine offered with both automatic and manual transmission options. This blog covers the features, pros and cons, and Rumion specifications in detail.

Though Rumion is a great car, it has not been able to penetrate the Indian car market like the Maruti Ertiga. This is because it struggles to deliver enough power during highway overtakes. Also, it feels underpowered while driving on hills. It is more suited for city driving and offers a relaxed and quiet driving experience. However, as you accelerate hard on the climbs, the engine begins to make some noise. This is quite unusual for Toyota cars which is also a big concern for those interested in buying this car.

"The automatic is not fast, but it is smooth. For daily office traffic, it feels stress-free. Cabin is practical, and the seats are comfortable."
"Rear vents and third row AC control make a big difference for family trips. Folding seats are easy, and luggage management is simple."
"I went for the factory CNG because my running is high. Mileage is good and costs are controlled, but it feels slower when fully loaded."
"The car is practical and reliable, but the base trim misses some features. If possible, go one variant up for better comfort and infotainment."
"Space is the reason we bought it. Third row is usable for kids, and the AC works well even in peak summer. Drives easily in the city."
"Toyota Rumion is a fantastic car when it comes to spaciousness and features. Though a little pricey than the Ertiga, you feel that the price is justified when you check its build-quality and overall reliability. No doubt Ertiga is fabulous but the Rumion car is a dependable MPV and special in its own right."
"All the 3 rows of Rumion are spacious and comfortable. Ample headroom and legroom is available for all the rear passengers. So, planning a family or friends trip with Rumion is a great idea. If you have additional luggage, just fold the third-row and utilise it for storing your bags. "
"Many Toyota cars are underrated and Rumion is definitely one among them. I got the privilege of driving it one day with my friend when we took a trip to Manali. It was one of the best driving experiences of my life. The suspension of the car is nicely tuned to absorb the small shocks your car gets while driving on uneven roads. The relaxed ride-quality of this car is criminally underrated. "
"With the newer entry of the E base variant, Toyota Rumion has become far more affordable for families and commercial buyers. Its ride-quality is excellent and fuel-economy is top-notch, especially with the CNG variant. Also, you can purchase the CNG variant without registering for a commercial number plate."
"The affordable maintenance of Rumion with the reliability of Toyota engine makes it a perfect car. We often drive it on the hills and inclined roads and I have never faced any issue like lack of power or instability while driving at high speeds. It looks bulkier and has a great low-end torque which makes it comfortable to drive in the city traffic."
