In terms of the design, the Toyota Rumion looks exactly like the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga MPV, as it is based on it. However, it does feature some design differences to set it apart from its Maruti counterpart. The grille has been changed in the Rumion, along with unique elements such as the all-new front bumper and refreshed fog lamp surrounds. The car also gets a different set of dual-tone alloy wheels.

Inside, the brand-new Toyota Rumion includes an infotainment system with a 17.78 cm Smartplay Cast Touchscreen and Arkamys Surround Sense for a rich audio experience. It also gets other features such as wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The infotainment system includes Bluetooth connectivity, steering-mounted audio and calling controls, and USB connectivity.

The Rumion also includes Toyota i-Connect, which provides remote control of the temperature, lock/unlock, warning lights, and headlights, among other functions. It works with smartwatches and the Hey Siri speech assistant. Toyota i-Connect also includes safety and security features such as auto collision warning, tow alert, find my car, valet profile, vehicle health monitoring, and malfunction indicator monitoring.

As for the powertrain, the Toyota Rumion gets the same 1.5-liter K-series petrol engine that is offered in the Ertiga. This engine comes equipped with Neo Drive (ISG) technology. According to the company, the petrol variant is projected to achieve an impressive fuel efficiency of 20.51 km/l, while the CNG variant, which comes with a factory-fitted CNG kit, is anticipated to return a remarkable 26.11 km/kg. The transmission options include both a 5-speed manual and a smooth 6-speed automatic, catering to enthusiasts of both driving modes.
