Is the Toyota Rumion a good car? 

The Toyota Avanza has serviced South Africa for the better part of a decade but the time has come to put the marque out to pasture. The Suzuki Ertiga based Toyota Rumion has now replaced the old favorite and has already had a good run with the success of other Suzuki-related vehicles such as the Urban Cruiser and Starlet.

Who is the Toyota Rumion a good car for?

The Toyota Rumion is a good car for medium-sized families or individuals that are looking to start a small transport business. 

Is the Toyota Rumion a good first car?

The Rumion's size may deter new drivers but for those that are not concerned by its size, the Rumion could make a great first car and the start of a new business venture.

Is the Toyota Rumion a good family car?

With cavernous interior space and seating for 7 adults, the Rumion will make a perfect family car.

 

Is there a Hybrid Toyota Rumion?

Toyota may be the leader in Hybrid tech at the moment but the Rumion is not offered in a hybrid.

What’s it like to drive? 

Reviewer's opinion

The Rumion is superior to its predecessor in every way: it’s larger and more spacious, more practical, much nicer to drive, more economical, and better-equipped. Are we sad to see the Avanza disappear? Not really: it was hopelessly out of step with its opponents, and far too pricey for the package on offer. This “Suzota” (or is that Toyzuki?) is a most-welcome replacement, and should quickly see similar (or greater) sales success, compared to its long-lived predecessor.
