The Toyota Rumion, a car that can seat 7 people, has gotten attention in India because it’s useful, comfy, and especially because it doesn’t use much fuel. Launched on August 28, 2023, this type of car is a good choice, especially for families who want a roomy vehicle that doesn’t cost too much to run.
Fuel Use That’s Really Good
One of the main good things about the Toyota Rumion is how little fuel it uses. The official test numbers for the petrol (gasoline) models show they get between 20.11 kilometers per liter for the automatic version and 20.51 kilometers per liter for the manual version. If you want to save even more money on fuel, the CNG (compressed natural gas) version gets an official number of 26.11 kilometers per kilogram. These numbers mean the Rumion is a fuel-saving choice in the MPV group, making it good for driving in the city and on long trips. People who own the car also report similar good mileage, which backs up its claim of being easy on fuel.
Engine and How It Drives
The Toyota Rumion uses a 1.5-liter K-Series petrol engine that produces 103 horsepower and 137 Nm of twisting power. This engine comes with either a manual or an automatic transmission. The CNG version of the same engine makes a little less power, at 87 horsepower and 121 Nm of twisting power, and it only comes with a 5-speed manual transmission. The engine is known for being smooth and working well in different driving situations.
Features and Safety
The Toyota Rumion has several features made to make things more comfortable, easy, and safe. Some important features include a 7-inch touchscreen screen that works with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay (so you can use your phone apps on the car’s screen), buttons on the steering wheel, air vents for the back seats, automatic air conditioning, and a keyless system. For safety, the car has ABS with EBD (systems to help you brake safely), two airbags, and sensors that help you when you’re parking backward.
Price and Different Versions
The Toyota Rumion is priced competitively, between ₹ 10.54 lakh and ₹ 13.83 lakh (without taxes and other charges), which makes it a good deal in the 7-seater MPV category. It comes in different versions to suit different people’s needs and budgets. These versions include options for petrol and CNG fuel, as well as manual and automatic gearboxes.
The price you’ll actually pay in Thane, Maharashtra (as of May 1, 2025) is about ₹ 12.07 lakh for the basic model (S MT Petrol) and around ₹ 15.87 lakh for the best model (V AT Petrol). The CNG version (S CNG) costs about ₹ 13.16 lakh on the road in Thane.
In Conclusion
The Toyota Rumion is a good choice for buyers who want a car that can seat 7 people, doesn’t use much fuel, and has a good amount of space. With its reliable engine, useful features, and reasonable price, it’s a strong competitor in its group, offering a good mix of practicality and saving money on fuel.
