News regarding the 2018 Toyota Rush has been coming
in thick and fast from Indonesia since last week. After revealing the SUV
completely via a set of leaked images, AutonetMagz and its sources have shed
light on the features the new gen Rush will offer.
Toyota will offer the Rush with full LED headlamps
accompanied by LED DRLs. The stop lamps will feature LED graphics as well. Its
ORVMs are electrically retractable. The Toyota Rush G trim rides on 16-inch
alloys while the TRD Sportivo trim gets 17-inch dual tone alloys. Other
exterior features include a rear spoiler and a shark fin antenna.
A reverse parking camera, smart key, and engine
stop/start will be offered. The TRD Sportivo variant gets an automatic climate
control setup while the G variant gets manual air conditioning. Both trims come
equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen. However, the top-end trim adds NFC and
eight speakers. Top-end trims are expected to get 6-airbags.
While the 2018 Daihatsu Terios will be quite similar
to the new Rush, both in form and in terms of the features on offer, there will
be subtle differences. The report claims that no variant of the Terios will get
6-airbags. It will, however, feature a 360-degree bird’s eye view.
The report also adds the 2018 Toyota Rush will
receive a new 1.5L engine with Dual VVT-i technology adopted from Toyota Avanza
Veloz.
The launch of the
2018 Toyota Rush and 2018 Daihatsu Terios is reportedly scheduled on
November 23. Expect prices to start at around IDR 200 million.
