Up till now, Maruti Suzuki Ertiga has been the top-selling MPV; let’s see if the competition coming next year is worthy:

1. Toyota Rumion
   

   

   Toyota recently launched the Rumion in South Africa; it is a rebadged version of the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. The looks have been tweaked with a new front grille, but the same design.

   The car has no mechanical changes, and the India-spec Rumion could also have a similar interior. The pricing is expected to be slightly higher than the Ertiga.

2. Maruti Suzuki XL7
   

   

   The Maruti Suzuki XL6 sits above the Ertiga and is slightly more premium. It has been running since 2019 and has a little rugged appeal, along with exterior tweaks. We can expect the 7-seater version known as XL7 to come to India.

It could be similar to the Indonesia-Spec XL7 with slightly more extensive touchscreen infotainment, IRVM with rear camera view & bench middle row seats.

   Hyundai is also working on a new MPV project codenamed as ‘KS’; it could be known as the Stargazer. An MPV was spied testing in Indonesia in a fully camouflaged manner. It is expected to launch in Indonesia first then reach India sometime in 2022.
