Rumour: Toyota Rumion India launch in August

The Rumion is essentially a rebadged Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. It will be positioned under the Innova Crysta.

According to a media report, Toyota is likely to launch the Rumion MPV in India next month.

The Toyota Rumion is essentially a rebadged Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. It will be positioned under the Innova Crysta in Toyota's MPV line-up.

Toyota recently introduced an updated version of the Rumion in South Africa. It gets a new trapezoidal grille similar to the Innova, an all-new front bumper and new diamond-cut alloy wheels.

The interior of the Rumion is identical to the Ertiga. It features an all-black dashboard with a floating touchscreen infotainment system in the centre, a twin-dial instrument cluster and a flat-bottom steering wheel.

Powering the Rumion will be the familiar 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine that makes 103 BHP and 138 Nm. It will be paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission. The South African version though, gets a 4-speed automatic option.
