7-seater Toyota Rush 2018 officially comes out for Philippine market

Toyota Motors Philippines has officially released its Toyota Rush 2018, claiming this vehicle to be a perfect match of spaciousness and practicality of an MPV and functionality and ruggedness of a high-end SUV.

The design of the Rush 2018 reminds us of the Fortuner’s sharp-looking exterior. Differences come from its sleek headlights and the 4-slat grille. Besides, the new Rush comes standard with 17-inch alloy wheels, a tailgate-mounted spoiler, and horizontal taillamps.

When it comes to its size, the Toyota Rush 2018 has a length of 4435mm, a width of 1695mm and the height of 1705mmm while the ground clearance and wheelbase measures 220mm and 2685mmm respectively.

Speaking of the interior, there’s nothing more noteworthy than the upscale and modern- looking cabin. The styling is said to take roots from the Avaza but still gets its own distinct design. The inside gains mainly black but also come with silver accents, beige-colored trim, and faux stitching dashboard.

Aside from it, the Toyota Rush 2018’s top-ranging versions come equipped with other features including auto-LED headlights, driving wheel-mounted sound controls, multi-information display, engine ignition/stop button, auto-climate control, and two-DIN infotainment.

The Philippine-spec Toyota Rush gets a 7-seat layout; however, 3 rows of seats only come in the top-spec G variant while the E variants offer seats for five. To be more specific, the 3^rd row seats are 50:50-split-foldable. On the other hand, the 2^nd row seats are 60:40.
