Depends on the country. In some places, it's a power move. In some, it could be too modest.

Perfect for executives who travel with a team. You can do it on the go, mini meetings.
Is the Toyota Rumion a lazy rebadge or a smart business move?

It's a smart move, honestly. We get more options and Toyota gets to expand its lineup without the massive R&D costs. Win-win!

Lazy rebadge all the way. It used to be that Toyota was known for reliability and innovation. They're just slapping their logo on Marutis now. Disappointing.

It’s not ideal, but business wise it makes sense. This makes it tough for Toyota to compete in segments they were missing out on in the Indian market.

They need to add more value, but I think it’s clever. Maybe it’s better warranty or some special features to make Toyota premium worth it.

It's short term, but could end up hurting them long term. Toyota engineering is what people buy when they buy Toyota and not rebadged Marutis.

I don't see the problem as long as they are upfront that it is a rebadge. Toyota's service is still backing it up, and it is still a decent car.

It's lazy, but so what? I'm all for it if it helps keep prices down and give us more choices.
Is the Tour H2's no frills interior a smart move or a missed opportunity?
30 December 2024 09:02
It's definitely a smart move. The simplicity is something as a taxi driver I appreciate. It's easy to clean, less to break, and less costly. After all, passengers aren’t expecting luxury in a budget taxi.
Is the Tour H2's no frills interior a smart move or a missed opportunity?
30 December 2024 09:02
I disagree. Currently, it is not easy to get a budget taxi that offers a good experience. Higher fares and more customers could be justified by a slightly nicer interior. Maruti had a chance to stand out.

You both don’t get it. About durability is the basic interior. With constant use, these cars go through hell. Fancy interiors would not make for cheap upkeep and downtime for repairs.
Is the Tour H2's no frills interior a smart move or a missed opportunity?
30 December 2024 09:02
I use taxis a lot and actually prefer the no frills interior. Somehow it feels more hygienic. I don't need luxury, just a clean functional space for the short ride.
Is the Tour H2's no frills interior a smart move or a missed opportunity?
30 December 2024 09:02
I believe Maruti should have given two interior options, one as basic for budget fleets and another slightly upgraded for operators aiming at higher end market. It would've been the be all and end all.
Is the Tour H2's no frills interior a smart move or a missed opportunity?
30 December 2024 09:02
The interior is stripped down and terrible for drivers who spend hours every day in the car. If the working conditions and job satisfaction could just be a little more comfortable, they'd do better.
Is the Tour H2's no frills interior a smart move or a missed opportunity?

It’s all about cost cutting. Maruti offers bare minimum to maximize profits. It’s smart business, but it’s not great for improving the quality of taxi services.
Is it possible that the Tour H1 might represent a smart choice for budgetconscious private buyers as well as taxi operators?
30 December 2024 08:19
In fact, I know somebody who bought a Tour H1 for personal use and they say it’s the best. It is the most cost effective car they have ever owned, says. Sure, no frills, but it gets the job done, and puts more money in their pocket.
Is it possible that the Tour H1 might represent a smart choice for budgetconscious private buyers as well as taxi operators?
30 December 2024 08:19
Are you serious? The Tour H1 is not a family car. No rear power windows, no basic safety features, and that annoying speed limiter? If you are that strapped for cash, you're better off buying a used regular Alto.
Is it possible that the Tour H1 might represent a smart choice for budgetconscious private buyers as well as taxi operators?
30 December 2024 08:19
I don't think you are getting it. For a certain type of buyer, the Tour H1 could be just the thing - a college student or a retiree who just needs to get around every now and then. Not everyone needs, or wants, all the bells and whistles.

It's not the car that is the problem, it's the stigma. Can you imagine trying to resell a "taxi model" car? Wiping out any savings you might have had up front, your resale value would tank. It is penny wise and pound foolish.
