The 2018 Toyota Rush has reached Caribbean and Latin
American markets. Towards the end of last month, Toyota introduced it in
Colombia. The second generation Toyota Rush is made in 5- and 7-seat versions,
but Colombia has received only the latter. The crossover-styled MPV is 4,435 mm
long, 1,695 mm wide and 1,705 mm high. It has a 2,685 mm wheelbase and a 220 mm
ground clearance. It rides on a traditional ladder-frame chassis.
The 2018 Toyota
Rush is available with only a 1.5-litre Dual VVT-i petrol engine that produces
103 hp at 6,000 rpm and 136 Nm of torque at 4,200 rpm. This naturally aspirated
mill sends power to the rear wheels via a standard 4-speed automatic transmission.
On the outside, the
all-new Toyota Rush features smoked LED headlights, 17-inch wheels, LED rear
lights and shark fin antenna. Inside, the MPV has a two-tone colour scheme and
comes equipped with an automatic climate control system, 7-inch touchscreen
multimedia system from Pioneer, six speakers, chrome door handles and
leather-wrapped gear knob with chrome detail.
On the safety
front, Toyota offers six airbags, ABS with EBD, ISOFIX child-seat anchors, rear
parking sensors and a rear parking camera. The Toyota Rush is available in
Colombia in a single ’S’ grade and costs 89,900,000 pesos.
New reports say that it will go on sale in Pakistan next, in September this
year. There, it’s expected to start from PKR 3.8 million ,
which is roughly the same as in Colombia.
