E or S, and what each costs
Where you start
E
₹9.79L ex-showroom Delhi
The price of entry: all six airbags, ESC and three usable rows are here, but there is no audio at all and the AC is manual. Worth it only if every rupee counts.
The step up
S
From ₹10.77L to ₹12.35L ex-showroom Delhi
The family floor most buyers should start at: keyless entry, Bluetooth audio and powered folding mirrors, and it is the only trim sold as a CNG.
Our take
Keeps ₹98,000, and gives up only 4 speakers and rear USB-C ports
Buy the Toyota Rumion E and keep the ₹98,000: the Rumion S only adds small touches like 4 speakers and rear USB-C ports. Nothing there changes the car.
What E to S costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹1,06,330 to ₹1,75,360 on the road, against the ₹98,000 the price list shows.
Why the road figure moves, and by how much
Road tax is charged on what the car costs, so moving up a trim moves the tax up with it. The ₹98,000 is the distance between two price tags; the road figures add the tax and the charges that difference attracts.
The rate is your state's to choose, and they do not choose alike, so this one step is worth ₹69,030 more in one place than in another. Of the 25 states we can price this step in, Punjab comes out lowest, and Tamil Nadu comes out highest.
Only the rate where the car is registered applies to you, so hold a dealer's quote against your own state's figure rather than the range. The range is still worth knowing: it is why two owners can quote this step to each other, differ by ₹69,030, and both be right.
