Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has launched the new Rumion G AT variant in the Indian market. The brand has also reopened bookings for the E-CNG variant of the Toyota Rumion. The all-new automatic variant is available at a price tag of INR 13 lakh (ex-showroom). Deliveries of the new variant are set to commence on May 5, 2024, while bookings are now open for a token amount of INR 11,000.
Previously, Toyota stopped taking reservations for the Rumion E-CNG variant in September 2023 due to increasing demand for the MPV. The company recently released a statement that read, “The demand has surpassed our expectations, resulting in a long delivery time across variants, especially for the E-CNG option. This has necessitated us to temporarily halt bookings of the E-CNG option ONLY to avoid customer inconvenience due to a longer waiting period."
