Toyota is all set to launch its own version of the Maruti Ertiga. Known as the Toyota Rumion, it will come with a host of minor changes inside and out. Even though it will look and feel a lot like the donor model, a new facade should help it with a unique distinct identity. The launch of the MPV will likely take place by the end of this month. The Maruti Ertiga is currently available in a price range of Rs 8.64 lakh to Rs 13.08 lakh (ex-showroom). In all chances, the Rumion will cost a tad bit more.

The Toyota Rumion MPV will feature a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, engine push start-stop button, cruise control, projector headlamps, and automatic AC.
