Updated Feb 22, 2023 | Same topic: Best Advice for Car Buyers

Which of the seven color options would you opt for?

In 2020, Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP), the official distributor of Toyota vehicles in the country, updated the Toyota Rush to come with a 7-seating configuration as standard across its variants. This makes the Toyota Rush a more ideal choice for those in the market looking for an affordable and spacious family vehicle.

So if you are one of the car buyers who are currently considering the Toyota Rush as your next family vehicle, then we will help you decide on which body color you should opt for. TMP offers its entry-level 7-seater SUV with a total of seven body color options which could give you a difficult time choosing the best hue for you.

With that being said, we have listed down all the available colors for the Toyota Rush available in the Philippines. We will also tackle which color option complements the stock exterior details, features, and design of the entry-level SUV to give you a broader idea so you could conclude.

Toyota Rush 1.5 E MT

The color options offered on the Toyota Rush 1.5 E MT base variant are White, Silver Mica Metallic, Dark Red Mica Metallic, Bronze Mica Metallic, and Black Metallic. If you opt for the base variant of the Japanese entry-level SUV, then you don’t have to worry about additional costs as all of the Toyota Rush color options are free.

Before choosing a body color finish for your Toyota Rush, you first have to consider the stock exterior details of the model. These exterior details include a chrome radiator grille, chrome front skid plate, blacked-out fender flares, side sills, and lower bumper, and chrome rear under garnish.

Opting for the Toyota Rush E MT with the Silver Mica Metallic will complement the chrome trims of the entry-level SUV. It will also look good on the variant’s 16-inch alloy wheels as it creates a harmonious color combination.

Toyota Rush E in Bronze Mica Metallic

Meanwhile, the Toyota Rush Black Metallic 1 may not go well with the black trims of the vehicle. The Japanese automaker adds the black trims on the fender flares and side sills to make it look more like a proper off-road SUV. Choosing the Black Metallic 1 might defeat the purpose of the brand for the model.

But just to remind you, picking the body color for your vehicle will always be subjective. An all-black appearance could be the most wonderful and colorful from your perspective. Choose the body color option that you personally like as repainting the vehicle could cost you some fortune.

If you want your baseline Toyota Rush E variant to showcase a more youthful and eye-catching appeal, there are two body color options you can choose, namely the Bronze Mica Metallic and the Dark Red Mica Metallic. The Toyota Rush with the color Bronze Mica Metallic should provide a snazzy look that would look somewhat unique on the road.

On the other hand, the Toyota Rush E Dark Red Mica Metallic can provide a touch of sportiness to the finish. Plus, red and black is relatively a good color combination so this type of body paint should go well with the blacked-out exterior details of the Japanese automaker’s entry-level SUV in the Philippines.

Toyota Rush 1.5 E AT

Moving up one step up the variants, the Toyota Rush 1.5 E AT is available with the same five color options as the base variant. Again, these body colors include the Black Metallic 1, Bronze Mica Metallic, Dark Red Mica Metallic, Silver Mica Metallic, and White. No additional costs are included as well.

Just like the base variant, there are no changes in the stock exterior details. This mid-spec variant of the model is still designed with the same chrome and blacked-out features of the baseline E MT. As such, the said body colors above for the base variant still have the same look and appearance as the E AT variant.

Toyota Rush E in White

However, there is one body color that we haven’t touched on just yet, and that is the humble White paint. The Toyota Rush in color white would make your vehicle look like the majority on the road. This statement could be a good thing or a big thing, it depends on you and your taste.

Opting for the White body color has a lot of benefits. One of the most important factors why most people choose white is because it can help the vehicle look cleaner. This type of body paint can hide dirt and dust easier as compared to other body paints, making white the most popular color for cars around the world.

On the contrary, opting for the Toyota Rush with the Black Metallic 1 body paint will highlight the dust and dirt you could accumulate by simply driving on the road. The rainy season could be a troublesome season for you as you will have to wash your car more often to keep its classy black finish.

Toyota Rush 1.5 G AT

Lastly, the top-of-the-line Toyota Rush color option includes Black Metallic 1, White 2, Bronze Mica Metallic, Dark Red Mica Metallic, Silver Mica Metallic, and the Bordeaux Mica body color. Looking at the body color options, only the White 2 and Bordeaux Mica Metallic are the exclusive options for the flagship variant.

Toyota Rush G in Bordeaux Mica Metallic

The difference between the top-spec Toyota Rush G variant and E variants in terms of exterior design is that the G variant comes with a smoke chrome (as opposed to the chrome finish on the E variants) and chrome roof rails. No significant changes so Silver Mica Metallic, Dark Red Mica Metallic, and Bronze Mica Metallic body paints still have the same appearance in the top-spec variant.

Perhaps the best thing about the flagship Toyota Rush G variant is its Bordeaux Mica body paint option. The Toyota Rush color in Bordeaux Mica will create a distinctive look as compared to the lower E variants. So if you want people to easily notice that you got the most expensive variant, then the Bordeaux Mica could be the hue for you.

The color options for each variant of Toyota Rush may change every year, so you can also consider looking at used Toyota Rush cars to have more options to choose from.

Toyota Rush

The Toyota Rush 2024 is Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP)’s entry into the local competitive multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) segment. Considering its relatively large size and affordable pricing, the MPV is regarded by some as an entry-level SUV for the Japanese car brand. Toyota Rush Price in the Philippines is P1,202,000 with only one 1.5 G-RS variant. Under the hood, it is powered by a 1.5-liter 2NR-VE inline-4 DOHC gasoline engine that makes 102 hp and 134 Nm of torque. This engine can be connected to a 4-speed automatic transmission. Dimensions-wise, the Rush spans 4,435 mm in length, 1,695 mm in width, and 1,705 mm in height. In the local market, this vehicle from Toyota Philippines competes against the likes of the Mitsubishi Xpander and Honda BR-V.

There are many SUV-like features that the Toyota Rush offers such as a relatively high ground clearance rated at 220 mm and its new seating configuration that makes seven as standard across all variants. It is considered one of the best value for money, especially for those who wish for a relatively affordable family car. In other markets, the Toyota Rush is called the Daihatsu Terios due to the Japanese automaker's partnership with Daihatsu Motor.

 

Toyota Rush Launch

The updated Toyota Rush was introduced by TMP last November 2020 which now offers a 7-seating configuration as standard. The Japanese carmaker shared that a 7-seater MPV is a favorite family vehicle among Filipinos so it wanted to add a third row of seating for all variants.

In 2022, TMP replaced the top-spec Rush G with the sportier GR-S variant. The updated 7-seater MPV is currently competing against the likes of the Mitsubishi Xpander, Honda BR-V, and Maxus G50.

Toyota Rush Exterior

The Toyota Rush is currently riding on the exterior design of the third-generation Daihatsu Terios. It comes with an SUV-like and more aggressive road presence as it is inspired by the design of its 7-seater midsize SUV sibling, the Toyota Fortuner.

All variants of the Toyota MPV are installed with LED headlights and taillights (with LED guidelines), a rear spoiler, a shark-fin antenna, and more. E variants get chrome radiator grille and 16-inch alloy wheels, while the top-ranging GR-S variant comes with GR-S treatment and 17-inch alloy wheels.

Toyota offers the Rush six color options: White,  Bronze Mica Metallic, Dark Red Mica Metallic, Bordeaux Mica, Silver Mica Metallic, and Black Metallic.

Toyota Rush Interior

As said earlier, all variants now come with a 7-seating configuration which should be practical for those who want to own a relatively large car but don’t want to spend a hefty amount of cash. The 50:50 third-row seats can be folded to offer more cargo space.

Another notable feature inside the Toyota Rush is the white accents on the doors and dashboard decorated with faux stitches

The interior for the lower E variants is installed with a urethane 3-spoke steering wheel, shift lever, and knob. Meanwhile, the top-ranging GR-S variant benefits from leather materials on the said interior parts and three accessory outlets as compared to just one for E variants.

As for safety, the updated model still offers the same features such as six airbags, an anti-lock braking system (ABS) with electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), traction control, hill start assist, emergency stop signal, and ISOFIX tethers. Keyless entry is used for E variants and smart entry is the go-to for the GR-S variant.

Platform & Chassis

The Toyota Rush is designed with a ladder-frame chassis similar to the Toyota Avanza. It is built on the Daihatsu F800, the platform of the current Daihatsu Terios. This platform configuration, including the 220 mm ground clearance, solidifies the model’s reputation as a small yet rugged SUV.

To further improve stiffness, the front suspension is handled by a McPherson Strut, and a four-link suspension for the rear setup. As for the brakes, the 7-seater MPV is installed with disc brakes on the front wheels and drum brakes for the rear wheels.

Engine & Drivetrain

Under the hood, the Toyota Rush is powered by a 1.5-liter 2NR-VE Dual VVT-i gasoline engine that can put up 102 hp and 134 Nm of torque. This is the same engine that the Toyota Avanza and Veloz use.
