Toyota has been unveiled the second generation
Toyota Rush in Indonesia last month. According to a report from the Bangkok Post, Toyota
will soon launch the 2018 Toyota Rush in Thailand.
The all-new Toyota Rush
could replace the ageing Toyota Avanza in Thailand. Unlike rival Honda BR-V,
the second-gen Toyota Rush uses a ladder-frame chassis for higher toughness.
This is particularly to tackle the rural roads in Indonesia and other similar
markets.
The 2018 Toyota Rush measures 4,435 mm in length,
1,695 mm in width and 1,705 mm in height. It has a 2,685 mm wheelbase and a 220
mm ground clearance. It is powered by the 2NR-VE 1.5-litre Dual-VVT-i petrol
engine that produces 104 PS at 6,000 rpm and 136 Nm of torque at
4,200 rpm. A 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission
sends power to the rear wheels.
Noteworthy features of the all-new Toyota Rush
include LED headlamps, dark chrome front grille, 17-inch alloy wheels, LED rear
combination lamps, two-tone dashboard, automatic climate control, 7-inch
touchscreen infotainment system, charging slot in every row, six airbags and
rear parking camera.
