Toyota Kirloskar Motor, the manufacturer of the Toyota Rumion recently made the decision to adjust the prices of its popular multi-purpose vehicle (MPV). This adjustment which came into effect after the initial launch in August 2023, sees an increase of up to Rs. 15,000 across all variants of the Rumion. This decision is a reflection of the dynamics of the automotive industry which include elements like inflation, volatile currency rates, and growing production costs that affect automakers' pricing policies.
Variants and Powertrain Options
The Toyota Rumion is available in three primary variants: S, G, and V, providing customers with a range of options to suit their preferences and requirements. The Rumion provides a range of powertrain options including compressed natural gas (CNG) and petrol. Because of this variety, customers can choose the model and fuel type that most closely matches their driving requirements and financial constraints.
Impact on Transmission Variants
The price adjustment affects both manual and automatic transmission variants of the Toyota Rumion, albeit to varying degrees. Manual transmission models have seen a more significant increase, with prices rising by Rs. 15,000, while automatic transmission models have experienced a comparatively smaller increment of Rs. 5,000. About each gearbox type, this differentiation represents the manufacturer's response to market demand, production costs, and technological improvements.
Revised Pricing Structure
Before the price adjustment, the Toyota Rumion was available at a starting price of Rs. 10.29 lakh (ex-showroom). However, with the recent revision, the price range for the Rumion now spans from Rs. 10.44 lakh to Rs. 11.39 lakh, depending on the variant and transmission type selected. To guarantee that customers continue to receive a competitive offering in the MPV class, our updated price structure attempts to achieve a balance between affordability and value proposition.
Engine Specifications and Performance
Under the hood, the Toyota Rumion is equipped with a robust 1.5-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine, delivering a harmonious blend of power and efficiency. This engine is paired with either a five-speed manual transmission or a six-speed torque converter unit in automatic variants offering drivers a choice between traditional control and seamless shifting. Toyota offers the option of integrating a factory-fitted CNG kit enhancing fuel efficiency and reducing environmental impact.
With a power output of 102bhp and 137Nm of torque in petrol mode, the Rumion delivers spirited performance while maintaining fuel economy. Transitioning to CNG mode, the engine delivers slightly reduced power figures with 86bhp and 121Nm of torque ensuring a balanced driving experience across different fuel types.
