It’s not just the Vios subcompact sedan that got a revamped trim lineup as the variant options for the Toyota Rush have also been streamlined.
Toyota Rush GR-S
The Toyota Rush was previously offered in three variants in the Philippines: Rush 1.5 E MT, 1.5 E AT, and 1.5 GR Sport AT. Now, Toyota Motor Philippines’ (TMP) official website only has one variant option listed under the Rush model name.
The only surviving Rush variant in the Philippines is the GR-Sport (GR-S) trim, which retails at Php 1,196,000. The Rush E variants, both the MT and AT trims, are no longer listed on the official website of TMP. Toyota also confirmed that the Rush is now only sold in one variant, the GR-S trim.
Fitted with GR-S body kits
The Toyota Rush GR-S was first introduced in the local market in June 2022. It comes with a more assertive-looking demeanor due to the addition of GR-S-specific design details. It comes with GR-branded front bumper spoiler, rear bumper, spoiler, and side body molding.
Inside, it has a seven-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Rush GR-S also comes with standard safety and security functions like Anti-Lock Brake System, Vehicle Stability Control, Hill-Start Assist Control, Toyota Vehicle Security System, among others. Aside from those mentioned, the Rush GR-S has a camera and back sonar/sensor.
Interior of the Toyota Rush
Under the hood, it is equipped with a 1.5-liter gasoline engine that delivers 102 horsepower and 134 Nm of torque. The engine is then connected to a four-speed automatic transmission.
Meanwhile, TMP has axed another Vios variant, reducing the option to six trims as of this writing. The latest Vios trim booted out is the Vios GR-S, which is the former top-spec model of Toyota Philippines’ popular subcompact sedan. As it currently stands, the top-spec Vios variant in the Philippines is now the 1.5 G CVT, retailing at Php 1,039,000.

The Rush 2023 is Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP)’s entry to 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 to the Japanese car brand. Toyota Rush Price in the Philippines ranges from PHP 983,000 to PHP 1,176,000 with 3 different variants. 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 either a 5-speed manual or 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 as 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.
