Agreed I viewed one in the showroom and it's so cheap inside. Even the gear lever looks cheap, flimsy and can bend with enough force. The fake plastic stitching looks so bad. The interiors are aweful. Comes only in 1 trim as far as I know. If it came in other trims I might have considered buying one.
I saw this for the first time today and I must say aesthetically it looks the part. Definitely agree with you in that for the price and what you get the weaknesses can be overlooked. What I don't understand though is why wouldn't Toyota include the third row, considering this is likely to be the segment sales leader already the extra row would guarantee it as a runaway success. Even more puzzling is that we know Toyota already has the platform and parts for a small bakkie as demonstrated by this and the Avanza yet to date they are yet to make one, again even though we know that would most likely be a runaway success. A normal small bakkie based on the Avanza and then a Renault Duster Oroch type version based on the Rush, why Toyota? Overall great car and as always excellent review.
I took it for a test drive. Really not a good experience. Besides the irritating noise generated by the front brakes everything seems plastic. Disappointed how the microphone was just placed on top of the steering column - it looks like it was added after the interior was designed and then suddenly realised they forgot to add the mic. Price is not that bad, but certainly not a vehicle I would consider buying.
Not too bad. What bugs me a bit is the low torque and massive boot with no lid... Big boot is awesome but without a cover it's a no go in SA. Perhaps the Haval H2 might be better.
@@wtrdogg20 I bet this will outlive anything american made in this price bracket or even 50% more. The reason american cars are no longer on the world markets is because they cannot compete with these lowly Eastern made cars for durabilty and dependability. Then there is the MacD size issue.
Dr.Rommel Bonsun xpander is not the biggest MPV compared to rush try to think xpander uses a can body and the important thing is still to use front wheel axles
Seems that the new CR-V has got better look, design * shape than this Rush. The rear of the Rush isn't that beautiful. That Rush isn't sound proof inside compared to the CR-V. It hasn't got enough torque! Well, it all depends on taste & choices! On top the CR-V comes with different engine capacity & soon a hybrid.
I would just make a custom wood boot cover and its golden, Im glad they didnt put the 3rd row in you want that get an Avanza.. the fact that it is RWD is already better than anything else as they are all FWD.
121SeedDestiny121 What's the difference with another brand? Honda uses the same base engine in H-RV and Fit. B-RV, Mobilio and City, etc. Mitsubishi use Colt plus engine, in their MPV car such as Xpander. Volkswagen Touareg uses same base engine with the Porsche Cayenne. Suzuki uses Ertiga engine (their MPV car), inside new Jimny. Even Fortuner and Innova uses the same base engine.
R R Choosing between Fit/Jazz Mobilio and City, which one would you compare with Rush? -I'm favorable with Hatchbacks so its smaller and can fit inside a small garage -I'd like the ability to recline rear seats such as with Rush or Mobilio (not sure for Fit/Jazz) -I'm thinking Rush E manual just cos Hondas here in my country provide the lowest spec on their manual variants.
R R The engine of Rush 2NR-FE with 104ps and 136Nm is also same as the Yaris/Vios and Avanza that were currently sold in my country. Underpowered engine and Ladder Frame body. The Rush is using coil spring and if you want comfort then this is not for you. Peace!
121SeedDestiny121 Same base engine, but still different. Rush and the currently Avanza are using 2NR-VE, while Yaris/Vios using 2NR-FE. In my opinion the engine is not underpowered (especially the manual transmission), and not overpowered as well. About ladder frame chassis, I think it's not that bad. Ladder frames are tough, more suited to bad road areas/off-road, thanks to major components being mounted higher, and easier to fix when you get it wrong. One can see why it’s still the preferred method, especially for off-road or 4x4 purpose. I think that's why Toyota still using that chassis in Rush, and not choosing monocoque or unibody. About the spring I agree with you, but they put stabilizer in the new Rush. So the car is better than the previous generation. But still if you really want the comfortable one, there's sedan, MPV or full-size SUV.
Honda BR-V it's closest rival but the design reminds me of much larger Honda CR-V.. so many styling similarities, although Toyota is narrower and also simpler, basic. It's got decent styling, features/package.
This manual version has same specification as the top of the line automatic...in phillipines this manual is very downgrade version compare to automatic variant of rush!!!why toyota why!!
Eleona Ligon This car has a good durability as well. Rush is not a new line up. It's been made since 1997. But anyway, Innova is a good car too. So yeah.
Chris Brown too small for average american people,that's why this car is only available in asian market,don't forget the noisy underpowered 1.5 liter in a suv,the americans usually prefer 2.0 liter + engines because they tend to be more efficient in a highway and the low gas prices in america
The Rush is cool as long as you dont drive... Because the most important, the driving performance and dynamics, are CRAP! It sucks while running with just the driver, I don't want to know the slow as fuck it can be when loaded and with 4 more passengers... The engine and Transmission are OBSOLETE! Toyota missed the chance to put a 1.8 or 2.0 engine, with a 6 speed manual tranny or a CVT (to keep it affordable) in that car, and make it more competitive and appealing... And please, bigger wheels... Toyota just ruined their chance.
I bought one of this. At first, I like it. It was really smooth and it looks great. However, the downside for me is its power. When I drive, I can feel that it's struggling to push to 100s.
This is just an underpowered SUV I mean seriously they can't even develop a new kind of engine for this Rush?!? And it's also really tight inside! And it does not fit as an SUV!!! The Land Cruiser is way better even though it's a "Luxury vehicle"
Adel Elewa 5 seater Toyota Rush only available in the Philippines. 5 seater MPV without 3rd row seating are also famous in Taiwan with 3rd row windows and strut bar for safety haul or cargo. 5 seater Toyota Rush can be used as bed or sleeper on 2nd row seating.
Nice design...
Toyota will never make you cry, inshaallah
2:38 i like this feature a lot.. 😚 adjustable rear seat like front
You're being kind, that engine is a dinosaur and it has more hard plastics than a Chinese toy store.
Yeah but it's better then a Chinese car
And the engine prove of how reliable it's

Aero Loco "it's so cheap inside " well yeah it's because it's a cheap car
Epic, 😂
Seems like pajero had illegitimate child with honda crv
Had a 2006 but it turned out to be lemon 🍋 😂 i dont think mommy parado was honest xD
😂😂😂😂😂😂
fgathumbi I am pajero user that wants to get a rush so this kind of an offense
🤪🤪🤪
I just love the Rush...
Looks like a raised Avanza - there is no escaping those minivan proportions.
I hope the South Africa people love this Rush.

Rush is very good car. Rush has gotten 5 stars for safety crash from NCAP.
nope

Get the MG RX5 instead.
I LOVE RUSH BUT I LOVE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION RUSH MORE
I want to see this come to America, bigger than a RAV4, and smaller than a Highlander. It would be perfect!!!
What did you say?
DUDE, THAT IS WAY SMALLER THAN A RAV4!
American market has no room for crappy and weak cars like that Rush.

thats not SUV its MPV, By the way Xpander is the biggest MPV in the segment.
Dr.Rommel Bonsun xpander is not the biggest MPV compared to rush try to think xpander uses a can body and the important thing is still to use front wheel axles
why you both still arguing bout those 2 car?
Dr.Rommel Bonsun this low suv
i had this car bout 5 months.. it's a really great car tho
Engine so small can't handle this car this full of 7 seats weight
When it will launch in india
The moment when the Terios successor was succeeded by the "other brand"
Ours doesn't have apple carplay compatibility. I wonder. I'm from the Philippines
Because in the Philippines people would rather buy a Fortuner than this piece of crap.
Uhm... Daihatsu be go/terios?
This bad boy is made in indonesia 🇲🇨
When will rush launch in india
2020 or 2021.
Looks like mpv
bule aje blg bgs...cmn org kita yg blg ga bagus....ini made in indonesia ckd....karya anak indonesia
Made in Indonesia copy of the Diahatsu Terios very nice car
Andrew James rebadged vehicle
Daihatsu belongs to Toyota
Daihatsu is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Toyota though
I took it for a test drive: everything excellent for that price - engine a big let-down
thats cool
Toyota Rushian

The car is small

This competes with the Honda BR-V not CR-V which is way more expensive.
are you kidding me? i thought only asian got fooled...
who cares about car when you got a hot daddy like this guy drives you around #thirsty
I really want the 3rd row of seats
lol his 60 sec intro made no sense at all
Is it 4X4
No
Never liked it, good looking but the engine? A toyota vios engine? Reliable but damn, 😂

Indonesian Car..
😂😂
Toyota Rush Made in Indonesia
dheo kusuma putra btulll
dheo kusuma putra really? It suck then
That's why it sucks, because it's marketed in Indonesia, don't be so proud easily
Thats why it sucks.
dheo kusuma putra hapus aja om komen nya :)
You got 5 seater there? its was built for 7
No armrest for the driver.
Dealbreaker!
Very professional review
What's with all these made in Indonesia comments?
Still, this is a Japanese brand, not Indonesian.
Even your iPhone is an american brand, still it's made in china
Your point was?
CnAeView no problem with all those made in Indonesia comments
😭😭😢
Made in Indonesia by Japanese robots lol
Give it a 2l turbo diesel like the engine in the previous Corolla/Auris with a 6speed auto and it will blow away any competition.
I would just make a custom wood boot cover and its golden, Im glad they didnt put the 3rd row in you want that get an Avanza.. the fact that it is RWD is already better than anything else as they are all FWD.
Long-term reliability isn't really sexy to some people.
I don't like the wheel designs and small tires of it.
Well I enjoy my Rush best deal ever . Comfortable and easy to drive. Good fuel economy and best for long road trips
How is the Rush on long trip highways, please share your experience with me ?
I'm glad it has a manual transmission
This Toyota Avanza with having steroids on it.

Komentar sarkasme semua hehehe
toyota rush and terios, with fortuner, LED
This manual version has same specification as the top of the line automatic...in phillipines this manual is very downgrade version compare to automatic variant of rush!!!why toyota why!!
Actually, the car type is Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV) a.k.a. Minivan from the engine capacity
Thank you for the amazing review. Its 2021 and I have been planning to buy the car but hesitant about its horsepower capabilities.
I know im off topic here..but i would def choose over and over again toyota innova than this line.
Its more practical and known for its durability.
Eleona Ligon This car has a good durability as well. Rush is not a new line up. It's been made since 1997. But anyway, Innova is a good car too. So yeah.
Eleona Ligon Innova is an MPV or a Minibus as you can call it. This Toyota Rush is an SUV, a mini SUV..
Eleona Ligon of course if you had enough money, most people buy this because of the lower price.
But 1,5 times more expensive
Why the hell doesn't this have 4WD? So easy, but they just dropped the ball.
Rear boot cover a must in south Africa, such racist undertones.
Better off buying an Innova or Avanza. Seriously.
I will much rather go with a clean second hand fortuner
Perfect, but Toyota Viet nam is total different. Air bags dont usually open in accidences so Toyota Viet Nam is very famous in Viet Nam.
Say what!??
Launched in Pakistan in sept 2018
Everything good but problem is engine 1.5 why? 7seter car engine 1.5?🙄🙄
When toyota rush launch in india
This is like a Baby Fortuner
No, the low quality of fit, finish and outdated plastics ensures that this is nowhere near a baby fortuner
It is a baby fortuner.
If you look it at night you could mistaken it as fortuner.
Paul Smith outdate plastic?
Paul Smith what u on about
Without the 4WD option
This the machine to have 1.5L engine
If only it were 5 speed or cvt
I really like the design. Why can't we have this in America?
Chris Brown too small for average american people,that's why this car is only available in asian market,don't forget the noisy underpowered 1.5 liter in a suv,the americans usually prefer 2.0 liter + engines because they tend to be more efficient in a highway and the low gas prices in america
too small for usa we love V8
Chris Brown only Mexico will have that car.
Mikomollypia 2018 Also available in Jamaica and Colombia.
super
Toyota really messed this vehicle up in the engin department, looks nice and seems capable if there is a 4x4 version launched.
buy rav4
It was coming from Vios engine.
Best of best car

Looks a bit slender..
The worst car forever , there is no 4wd , the engine is very weak !!!
Toyota should built diesel engine 1.5L with 100hp amd 200nm torq for this suv
I bought one of this. At first, I like it. It was really smooth and it looks great. However, the downside for me is its power. When I drive, I can feel that it's struggling to push to 100s.
Why don't you buy a faster car then?
Ok lang yan sir, hindi naman pang karera ang sasakyan na yan... 😅
I felt the same. First two weeks were fine. Then constant use I felt it’s under powered
Bring the terios back.. It's a daihatsu with Toyota badge
It has nothing to do with Rush. This is a whole new thing.
Good car for 0-80kmh, but don't rush ,
This is just an underpowered SUV I mean seriously they can't even develop a new kind of engine for this Rush?!? And it's also really tight inside! And it does not fit as an SUV!!! The Land Cruiser is way better even though it's a "Luxury vehicle"
