The next-gen Daihatsu Terios aka Toyota Rush has
been spotted testing on public roads for the first time. The spy pictures
shared by Autonetmagz from Indonesia shed light on the exterior of the compact SUV
revealing certain design details.
The overall profile of the 2018 Daihatsu Terios is
quite reminiscent of the Daihatsu FT concept that was unveiled at GIIAS 2015.
It features a similar DLO with the window line rising upwards C-pillar onwards.
The front gets a Fortuner-like grille, unlike the concept’s narrower design.
The headlamps also appear to be smaller than the ones seen on the FT Concept.
Although the tail lamps have a similar profile, they do not seem to extend
upwards along the rear windshield like they do in case of the concept.
The Terios/Rush has a
typical high riding SUV stance. Its length also indicates that it will have a
third row of seats. The SUV appears to be riding on 16-inch alloy wheels that
have a dual tone finish. Other noticeable exterior details include a rear
wiper, shark fin antenna, bumper mounted reflector units, and roof rails.
However, the new generation could be
undergoing development keeping out market its preference for diesel SUVs in
mind. As reported in June, the next-gen Daihatsu Terios and Toyota Rush will be
launched in Indonesia sometime next year.
