I am the new owner of Toyota Rush 1.5G. I bought it in 31 July 2009 and drive off from the showroom, in Ipoh and noticed the alignment was out and informed the company staff. Until now (26 Aug 2009), they could not OR do not want to fix the problem. Wrote a letter to the President (Mr. Kuah Kock Heng) of UMW Toyota Motor Sdn Bhd, HQ based in Shah Alam. Still no reply. Really damn bad service.

I’ve seen it yesterday at toyota’s showroom. It is not 4WD. You can start booking on 28 January 2008. It will be launched in February 2008. Price will between 85k -95k.

Perodua wil be lauching the new kembara in mid-2008. The model expected to be 4WD and will be based on Daihatsu Terios.

I think both cars are the same. The differences are :
Rush – SUV, 7 seater
Terios/Kembara – 4WD, seater

I’ve seen it. It will be launhed by Toyata in February 2008, maybe 1st or 2nd week of February. Booking can be made on 25 Jan, RM3,000.00. The price maybe between 85k – 95k.

Just curious….Perodua also will launched the same model as Kembara replacement????????

It is quite a nice car, better finishing then Avanza. Fuel comsumption is about 0.157 cents per km (Based on Malaysia fuel price at rm1.92/litre.) Power wise is average good. 1500cc could you expect great pick up power, forget it, my friend. Worth the price rm83k++ to rm93k++ for 1.5G and 1.5S.

Rumours said: Toyota will be RUSH, Long Wheel based in Malaysia in Feb 2008. Price will be head-to-head competition with Nissan Grand Livina, sub Rm100k.

Engine will be 1.5L, 7-seater and its 4WD. So its gonna be under power? So P2 may not have a Kembara replacement afterall.

Hope we have a good Chinese New Year with the launch of RUSH.
(did i mentioned? first batch could be CBU)

I am travelling in Indonesia now for a month. I saw many Terios and Rush on the road and boy…they are georgous. My initial plan is to get a Sorento end of the year but looks like I am gonna wait for this baby. I cannot tahan so I drop by Daihatsu showroom yesterday and check out the car for myself.

Here is something about the terios here. Its price 165million rupiah = RM65000 for the premuim extended wheelbase version with 17″ wheel. And also available is the shorter version. The extented version is not only longer but are taller too. Its a seven seater and interior is similar size to avanza. I am a tall person(6′1″) so i always check out the leg room for rear passenger when I fully extend the driver seat and I was very impress that there is still ample leg room behind. The third row seat can be folded towards the second row seat for more cargo space. Interestingly the second row seat can be folded forward too.

There is a seperate aircon blower for the passenger so that is a nice features.

The look of the car is beautiful with the back looking like the Fortuner but a lot better. Front is beautiful too. I have seen one on the road with a huge sport rim and its just made my jaw drop to the floor. Even the Rav4 is no comparison!!!

I hope they will bring in to malaysia under the Toyota brand for better quality.

wish this rush had 2 gear lever where owner can select between 2H or 4H or 4L… True 4WD had this feature!

but not in those AWD vehicle which suck petrol all the time…. even the very tiny Suzuki Jimny had one since their 660cc 70’s unit till their recent 1300cc units… personally i perfer 4WD over AWD machines…

This Lwb looks good. Saw it at Bali. Quite a lot of it there using Daihatsu badge. Should sell well if price like kembara or slightly higher. Size somehow like the latest Suzuki Vitara.

Full time 4WD right? Fuel consumption and NVH refinement may not be tops but hey … it’s a TOYOTA! Malaysians will be lining up to get the (T) badge!

I think this car need a 2.0L VVT-i engine used by camry to move around. I have drove an avanza 1.5L auto before.. really worst when full loaded.. furthermore this SUV is 4X4.. U need more torque to move with 4 wheel drive car… Anywayz if the new kembara is short wheel base with 1.5L DVVT nvm.. But if long wheel base, at least a 1.8L manual or 2.0L Auto.. hopefully they can implement like Nissan X-trail can choose either 2-wheel, 4-wheel & auto mode.. This will made this car more choices to sell!

sigh.. all the just-for-your-money, in-your-face, from-pointA-to-pointB, “just-slightly”-overprice-basic-moving-machine, misleading-and-just-not-enough-safety-and-performance-features & dare i say ’soul-less’ models from toyota & gangs can be too much to bear sometime.. yuck.

we were often offered mediore finished products (but always ’seems’ to be value-for-money as the real world competition cannot be made available due to NAP, economic of scale, consumer perception, existing market condition etc) from these group of companies (that most of consumer now vehemently and almost blindly trust w/o or little question), its kinda sickening. sorry guys. getting all pumped up because of these kind of car/SUV/mpv etc is just feel like blowing it out-of-proportion a.k.a. make it larger than life.

Pity Malaysian. We deserve better pool of varieties and choices for our hard-earned mullah.
