What Works for Rumion:
- Smooth and light steering, ideal for city use.
- Highly efficient CNG variant, perfect for long-distance and budget users.

What’s Missing:
- Third-row legroom for at most kids or very short trips.

If you’re considering a sensible 7-seater under ₹14 lakh, the Rumion deserves a test drive.
