Toyota is gearing up to introduce another badge-engineered product in the Indian market. The all-new Toyota Rumion will be launched in India in September this year. This three-row utility vehicle will be a re-badged version of the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. The Rumion will be Toyota’s fourth MPV in the portfolio after the Innova Crysta, Innova Hycross and Vellfire.
Toyota Rumion MPV: What to expect?
The new Toyota Rumion made its global debut in October 2021 and is already on sale in global markets such as South Africa. In terms of design, it looks identical to the Maruti Ertiga, save for some cosmetic updates which include a new grille, an all-black upholstery, re-designed alloy wheels and Toyota’s badging all-around. One can expect the India-spec model to retain the same identity.
