There is something different about the new Toyota Rumion compared to the Ertiga. The biggest change is visible in its grille which has been carried over from Innova Crysta. The grille features a honeycomb pattern and is surrounded by chrome.
Installation of LED projector type headlights with integrated LED daytime running lights is planned on both sides of the grille. The front bumper has also been redesigned and features an additional chrome element at the bottom. There are fog lights on both sides. On the side, new 7-spoke diamond-cut alloy wheels are available, different from the Ertiga.
There is no force in the side and rear profile of the car. The interiors of the Rumion get the dual-tone treatment like that of the Ertiga, the only difference being the new Toyota logo on the steering wheel. Apart from this, equipment with a 7-seater configuration has also been taken over from Ertiga.
Toyota Roomian: engine, power and mileage The Toyota Rumion features the same 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine as the Ertiga, which generates 103 PS of power and 137 Nm of torque.
