Toyota has launched a new mid-spec automatic variant of the Rumion MPV in India – the G AT. Priced at Rs 13 lakh (ex-showroom), the Ruminion G AT variant is Rs 1.40 lakh more expensive than its manual version. For those not aware, the automatic transmission was earlier only available with the S and V variants of the MPV. Now, with this addition, the Toyota Rumion comes in a total of seven variants – S MT, G MT, S AT, V MT, G AT, V AT, and S MT CNG. Speaking of the CNG variant, Toyota has reopened bookings for the same. The company had temporarily suspended bookings for the E-CNG variant, on the back of an "overwhelming demand" for the MPV, resulting in "a long delivery time across variants". Price-wise, the S CNG variant is available at an ex-showroom price of Rs 11.39 lakh.

Safety-wise, the G AT offers dual airbags, an anti-lock braking system (ABS), electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), brake assist, hill-hold control, electronic stability programme (ESP), seatbelt reminder for all seats, and ISOFIX child seat anchorages.
