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.

Verdict
Toyota Rumion is mostly designed for large families and fleet operators. It is not meant for driving enthusiasts who require powerful driving dynamics. The seating comfort is adequate for long trips but the third-row seats can be a bit uncomfortable for taller passengers.
Who should buy a Toyota Rumion
If you are looking for a spacious and comfortable car for your family, you must check out the Toyota Rumion variants. However, if you seek an adrenaline pumping experience while driving your car, this car is not for you. Family-oriented buyers and buyers looking to purchase 7-seater cars with a limited budget can also think of purchasing this car, especially if they find it in a good condition in the second hand car markets.
