Same money, which car?
Take ₹14.21L to both showrooms and you come out with the XL6 Alpha at ₹13.89L or the Rumion V at ₹14.21L, the XL6 leaving ₹0.32L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.32L more for the Rumion V: tyre pressure monitor. The useful extras on top: auto-folding wing mirrors and third-row AC vents. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Only the Toyota Rumion seats 7, worth knowing if you need the space
- Going to the Rumion V, you give up 360° camera, second-row captain seats and headlamps (LED projector against Halogen), which the XL6 Alpha keeps
- Choose the Maruti Suzuki XL6 Alpha if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.32L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Toyota Rumion V if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
