Toyota Kirloskar Motors (TKM) has just announced that it has temporarily halted bookings for the new Rumion S-CNG models. Essentially, a rebadged version of the Maruti Ertiga, the new Toyota Rumion was launched in August this year. However, the petrol variants of the MPV continue to be available for booking.

In a statement released by Toyota cars, the company acknowledged the “overwhelming response" for the Rumion and said, ‘It necessitated temporarily halting bookings for the CNG option, only to avoid customer inconvenience due to the longer waiting period.

The Rumion’s sibling, the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga is the best-selling MPV in India, with average sales of around 10,000 units a month. Similar to the Ertiga, the Rumion S-CNG models currently have a waiting period of around 6-9 months, while petrol variants have a 4-5 month waiting period.
