Toyota has added a new mid-spec automatic variant to the Rumion MPV’s line-up. The Rumion G was previously available only with a 5-speed manual gearbox, but now, buyers can opt for a 6-speed automatic transmission as well. The Rumion G AT is priced at Rs 13 lakh (ex-showroom), which makes it 1.40 lakh costlier than its manual counterpart. Bookings have commenced for an amount of Rs 11,000.
- Rumion G AT is Rs 73,000 less than top-spec V AT variant
- Rumion MPV now available in a total of seven variants
- Bookings open for a token amount of Rs 11,000
Toyota Rumion G AT: what’s new?
The Rumion is available in three trims – S, G and V – but curiously, until now, the automatic gearbox option was only available on the base-spec S and top-spec G trims. With this latest update, the auto gearbox option is available across the range. As such, the G AT is priced Rs 1.06 lakh higher than the S AT, and Rs 73,000 less than the top-spec V AT.
The features list on the G AT is the same as its manual counterpart; compared to the base S trim, the G trim adds kit like two-tone alloy wheels, dual-tone seat fabrics, keyless entry and go, automatic climate control, a 7.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless Androoid Auto and Apple CarPlay, front fog lights and Toyota’s in-car connectivity suite. However, the G variant misses out on equipment such as a leather-wrapped steering, cruise control, side airbags, and a rear camera.
Toyota Rumion: powertrain, specs
Under the hood, the Toyota Rumion gets Maruti’s 103hp, 137Nm, 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, and comes mated to a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. In CNG-spec, the same engine produces 88hp and 121.5Nm, and only gets the manual gearbox option.
Crucially, Toyota has reopened bookings for the Rumion CNG variant that’s available on the base-spec S trim. Earlier in September last year, the company had temporarily halted bookings for the Rumion CNG citing “overwhelming demand”, with waiting periods extending up to a year in certain places.
The Rumion MPV is priced between Rs 10.44 lakh – Rs 13.73 lakh (ex-showroom, India), and rivals the likes of the Maruti Ertiga, XL6 and the Kia Carens.
