Is the Toyota badge worth the extra cost the Toyota Rumion asks over the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga?
The Toyota Rumion is a premium over its Maruti Suzuki counterpart, the Ertiga. Such price difference has sparked debates as to whether Toyota badge is worth the extra cost. Toyota, in general, is known for reliability, possibly better after sales service and the name plate of the brand. But since the Rumion is basically the same car as the Ertiga in terms of mechanics and features, some people say that the price difference is untenable. Even this debate breaks down to whether Toyota has any actual benefits or improvements to offer in comparison to the Maruti Suzuki version — longer warranty terms or additional extras, for instance. This question forces car buyers to consider brand perception against practicality when they go about buying a car.
Absolutely not. It's just a different badge on the same car. Get the Ertiga and save your money.
To some, the Toyota badge represents value for resale as well as reliability. But if that matters to you, it’s worth it.
I would pay a little more for Toyota's service network, but the current premium is too high for what you get.
Toyota has better quality control than just their badge. Just that might be worth the additional expense.
Nope, it's a rip-off. Toyota is using brand loyalty without providing any actual improvements.
Maybe if they offered a longer warranty or any of those exclusive features. Yet it's difficult to justify as it stands.
As far as peace of mind goes, I'd go with Toyota. Their reputation for reliability is no hype.
