Know more about Toyota Rush 2024
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.

Technology & Safety Features
The Toyota Rush is installed with a 7-inch infotainment screen across all variants which supports CD/MP3, AUX, USB, Bluetooth, and Weblink Connectivity for iOS/Android. Sounds are sent off to six speakers for E variants, while the top-of-the-line variant gets eight.
Toyota Rush's airbags
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.

For the base E variant, it pairs the engine with a 5-speed manual transmission. Meanwhile, the rest of the two variants of the model use a 4-speed automatic transmission. The power is sent to the rear wheels thanks to its rear-wheel-drive (RWD) drivetrain.
