Toyota Rumion: What’s New?

Visually, the new Toyota Rumion looks very similar to the Maruti Ertiga. The only differences are the new Toyota Innova Crysta-inspired grille and trapezoidal fog-lamp housings. It also gets new dual-tone alloy wheels. However, the rest of the side profile and rear end remains identical to the Maruti.

Moving inside, the interior of the all-new Rumion sees minimal changes. There’s a dual-tone beige and black dashboard with faux wood inserts and beige upholstery. In terms of features, the Rumion gets a 7-inch infotainment system, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, auto climate control, connected car tech, a semi-digital instrument cluster, and more. Toyota will offer the Rumion in a 7-seat configuration only.
