Toyota has quietly brought in a solid contender to take on the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga – the Toyota Rumion 2025. On the surface, both MPVs look similar, but there are key differences that make this comparison interesting. Let’s break down everything from design and features to engine and pricing in a simple, easy-to-follow manner.
Subtle Styling, Familiar Faces
Both the Ertiga and Toyota Rumion 2025 share the same body structure, thanks to Toyota’s partnership with Maruti Suzuki. However, the Rumion sports a Toyota-style grille and slightly different front bumper, giving it a more mature look. The Ertiga keeps things sleek and familiar, which some buyers may prefer. In terms of size, both are nearly identical, so space and road presence are on par.
Interiors That Do the Job
Inside, both MPVs are practical and spacious. The dashboard layout is simple, with a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and automatic climate control available in top variants. The seats are comfortable, and there’s ample space for 7 passengers.
Where the Toyota Rumion 2025 gets a slight edge is Toyota’s longer standard warranty and better after-sales network, which might appeal to buyers looking for long-term peace of mind.
Same Heart, Different Badge
Under the hood, both the Ertiga and Rumion are powered by the 1.5L K-Series petrol engine with mild-hybrid tech. This engine is known for its smooth performance and reliability. You can choose between a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic gearbox.
Mileage figures are impressive, with both models claiming around 20.5 kmpl for petrol and 26.1 km/kg for CNG. So, whether you’re driving in the city or planning highway trips, fuel costs stay in check.
Price & Value
Prices for the Ertiga start at around ₹8.69 lakh, while the Toyota Rumion 2025 begins at ₹10.44 lakh (ex-showroom). The difference is mainly because the Rumion starts from a higher variant and includes more features by default.
Final Verdict
If you want a well-priced, proven MPV, the Ertiga is still a great option. But if you’re willing to spend a bit more for Toyota’s badge, better warranty, and a slightly different look, the Toyota Rumion 2025 might just be the MPV that flies under the radar – Toyota’s quiet but confident move in the family car space.
