Engine and Performance
A 1.5-litre K15C petrol engine with four cylinders and 1462 cc displacement powers the Rumion, delivering 101.64 bhp at 6000 rpm and 136.8 Nm torque at 4400 rpm. It pairs with a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, featuring regenerative braking, idle start-stop, and BS VI 2.0 compliance for efficiency. Petrol variants achieve up to 20.51 kmpl ARAI-rated mileage, a 45-litre fuel tank, and a top speed of 166.75 kmph, while CNG options hit 26.11 km/kg.
Chassis and Suspension
The Rumion employs a MacPherson strut front suspension and rear twist beam for balanced ride comfort over varied roads. It uses disc front brakes and drum rear brakes, supported by power steering with tilt column and a tight 5.2-metre turning radius for easy urban maneuvers. 15-inch alloy wheels shod with 185/65 R15 radial tubeless tyres complete the setup, ensuring grip and durability.
Exterior Highlights
Chrome accents on the front grille, bumper, door handles, and back door garnish lend a premium touch, complemented by projector halogen headlamps, front fog lights, and LED taillights. Body-coloured ORVMs with turn indicators, shark-fin antenna, rear wiper/washer/defogger, and two-tone machined alloy wheels enhance its modern appeal. Mudguards front and rear add practicality for Indian conditions.
Interior and Comfort
Inside, a dual-tone dashboard with metallic teak wood finishes on the dash and front doors creates an upscale feel, paired with plush dual-tone fabric upholstery and a semi-digital cluster. Features include height-adjustable driver seat, 60:40 split foldable second-row seats, 50:50 recline third-row seats, rear AC vents, cooled cup holders, and a central armrest with storage. Additional touches like a tachometer, glove box, front seatback pockets, and cabin lamps front/rear prioritize family usability.
Infotainment and Connectivity
A 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, USB ports, four speakers, and two tweeters provides engaging entertainment via Arkamys sound. Advanced internet features encompass live location, remote AC/door control, Google/Alexa connectivity, navigation with live traffic, e-call/i-call, and tow-away alerts. Multi-function steering wheel, paddle shifters (on AT variants), and gear shift indicator keep controls accessible.
Safety Equipment
Equipped with six airbags, ABS with EBD, brake assist, ESC, hill assist, TPMS, and a 5-star Global NCAP rating, the Rumion emphasizes protection. Other safeguards include rear parking sensors/camera with guidelines, ISOFIX mounts, pretensioners, speed-sensing door locks, engine immobilizer, and seatbelt warnings.
