Toyota Rumion CNG bookings temporarily halted

The Rumion is available in six variants priced from Rs 10.29 lakh (ex-showroom).

Toyota has temporarily stopped taking bookings for the Rumion CNG. Petrol variants, however, will continue to be available.

The Toyota Rumion was launched in August this year. According to the company, demand for the MPV has surpassed its expectations, resulting in long delivery times across variants, especially for the CNG version. Hence, it was decided to halt bookings temporarily to avoid longer waiting periods.

"We launched the All-New Toyota Rumion in August this year and have received overwhelming response from our customers who have been waiting for a Toyota vehicle in the B-MPV segment. We are heartened to see the increasing inflow of enquiries and healthy bookings for the All New Toyota Rumion. The demand has surpassed our expectations, resulting in a long delivery time across variants, especially for the E-CNG option. This has necessitated us to temporarily halt bookings of the E-CNG option ONLY to avoid customer inconvenience due to longer waiting period. However, we continue to accept bookings for the PETROL (NeoDrive) variants of the All-New Toyota Rumion."

The Rumion is a rebadged version of the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. The MPV is available in six variants priced from Rs 10.29 lakh (ex-showroom). It is powered by a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine that makes 103 BHP and 138 Nm, and is mated with either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic. It also gets a factory-fitted CNG option.
