Previously, Toyota stopped taking reservations for the Rumion E-CNG variant in September 2023 due to increasing demand for the MPV. The company recently released a statement that read, “The demand has surpassed our expectations, resulting in a long delivery time across variants, especially for the E-CNG option. This has necessitated us to temporarily halt bookings of the E-CNG option ONLY to avoid customer inconvenience due to a longer waiting period."
