Toyota launched a minor facelifted version of the Toyota Rush in Japan on the 13th of November 2008. The version of the Rush sold in the Japanese market is the short wheelbase version of course, which is sold here as the Perodua Nautica while the Toyota Rush that UMW Toyota Motor sells is a long wheelbase 7-seater version.
The new Toyota Rush features a new front bumper, new tail lamps, and a new alloy wheel design for the G trim level. The 2WD automatic model also scores 15.4km/l on the Japan 10-15 mode fuel economy test, which is a 5% improvement over the original Rush.
The Toyota Rush is also known as the Daihatsu Be-Go, Daihatsu Terios in different markets, and the Perodua Nautica in Malaysia. It is available in both short wheelbase and long wheelbase versions with the option of 7 seats, depending on the market it is sold in.
Daihatsu also unveiled its facelifted Be-Go in Japan on the same day, as they are parallel products – the same thing sold under different badges in the same market.
Look after the jump for more shots of the new Toyota Rush.

1st here..
if p2 bring here..
they will named it..
of couse p2 nautica SE..
2nd here
then P2 will inform media, we sent 100 over engineers to develope this SUV
prrrfthhhh
The air-con outlet grille looks like an old radio speaker. Overall, both exterior & interior are ugly. The rides are bumpy too. Whatever it is, Rush, Vios, Altis, Avanza, Innova have one in common.. UGLY DESIGN but yet sell them expensive because of the Toyota badge. At the momeny there are promotions by UMW Toyota like 3 years free service, low interest rate, free Sony MP3 Walkman etc. Maybe because of poor sales due to this blunder.
i like the steering..looks like lexus steering..
wah 9211, any toyota car u say ugly ah? how come?
wahaha )
not fair to say all of them ugly la, i think the term should be ‘could have been made better’. right?
ugly should be for funny cars like kangoo & fiat multipla ..haha ..i really hate those two cars on the road … so damn ugly looking car ….(and p1 juara/arena too
btw, did anyone actually buy nautica? … price so expensive, who wanna buy ..i’ve never seen it on the road ..lol
no TRD body kit for this?
If you want to pay for the price of toyota and get kancil why not is your money.
you already said is their money….so why u masih bising…..diam-diam la…..
Sold to low income Japs and rich, ignorant Malaysians mhuahahaa.. Nautica is as rare as a Bentley Continental GT(saw one at Ampang Jaya yeaterday, sweet, have not seen a Nautica in 23 days oredi)
I notice the digital auto climate control. Since the Nautica is exactly the Japanese built Rush/Be-Go, why don’t they incorporate the auto climate control for the nautica? For a small SUV with a premium RM90K price tag, Perodua should consider to make it as standard. The current one looks cheap despite coming from japan.
white rush look like a rav4
i rather be seen in a renault kangoo than a perodua nautica. LOL. french vs malaysian. malaysian wins! those who want to be the greatest loser can remain in their nautica
i think you are the biggest loser here…no money to buy toyota than insult other ppl…..
NAUTICA GOT FACELIFT?
Do you know what “bego” means in Indonesian?

Automatic Climate control is a JDM-only item (For the top spec versions.). The export models that the rest of the word gets (Including Malaysia.) get the manual knob controls (Also used in the JDM base models.) & plain looking center console layout (Which is also used for the manual tranny (No pun intended.) variants.).
Typo: World
wat a rush to create a facelift…
yucks….
kangoo is a really nice car
dun judge by its cover !!!
and abundant of headroom
but it is not cheap also
70k price tag kills
looks the same…
nvm about the rush, sorry to be off topic but can anyone explain to me why there is no reduction of petrol prices? It’s already the 15th
you got that right!! When things are right for the ppl they are ALWAYS SLOW!!
lol viper88..i’m waiting for the fuel price decrease too..too slowwww
db8, biasa-la government always ripping us off. Went to petrol station this morning before work and still same price. Geramnya.
harga minyak naik macam ribut…
turun macam siput….
fugly! facelift = deface.
the front bonnet looks like sanitary ware aka WC’s lid.
i think your face look more to WC
daihatsu be-go…..that has a different meaning in malaysia
actually a reshape 70k avanza ,
as a result 90k rush (malaysia), not much different driving the avanza
perodua…tipu punya syarikat..nama je perusahaan otomobil kedua…tapi nampak macam perusahaan tukar bumper n mekap sana dan sini….sungguh menyedihkan..kalau perodua bawa lagi benda ni n tukar badge macam nautica, lagi menyedihkan…orang putih kata pathetic..betul ke ejaan tu…
gie7,
ape yg die tipu kite? semua org tau P2 rebadge toyota/daihatsu. kite sendiri boleh wat decision samada nak bli or tidak. kalau x suke..x bli ah..dlm bisnes yg penting profit dan juge kepuasan pengguna..(hopefully puas la kot)
look at jdm car,
heavily tinted,
in malaysia wrong? i cant undertand it.
it protect skin,
it optimises the use of ACC, (the energy not wasted – good for people and environment).
well, not to the extent that its opaque,
70 percent is ok,

Gua agree sama gie7 cakap. Memang “pathetic”, tambah lagi “sympathy” kerana syarikat perusahaan nasional kedua kena dengar cakap orang lain.
tiada pendirian sendiri. Memang memang menyedihkan.
Perodua= Perusahaan Otomobil Dengar Ungkapan Auntie…

Seldom we heard people who willingly giveaway their money to satisfy other people’s greed.

without them, malaysia will be nothing
Are we not greatfull to them, preparing us almost everything for our own confort. Would any lazy malaysian work as maid, bulding construction under the hot malaysian sun……
After all, what is wrong marrying indonesian, they are just as human as we all are. Irf whites can be proud of their own kind why can’t we, the bloody Asian..At least the Malay group, philiphine, thailand, indon and malaysia……….
Perodua Nautica CKD Version??
they should do ckd
boleh tahanlah bukan so bed
no bed
Allaaaaa. …. harga masih tinggi, capelah nak beli Rush. Main tarok-tarok aje harganye Krete lain harga lebih murah lagi banyak baik macam exora! Warna dalam asyik krim je , warna lain x de ke? Nampaknye lu pakai sendirilah krete tu
he got money…he buy la…u bising2 buat ape….?
malingsia banyak komen aja kau…..taunya maling aja
So many negative comments. Do you, yourself drive or ever own this car…Empty barrels makes the loudest noise..haha
haha.. i agree wit observer.. well, i actually own a rush.. i'm happy with its performance.. of course, you dont get the power of an x5 not even a harrier.. well, whaddaya expect? RM 90k++ price tag.. it's totally worth it.. especially love the fuel efficiency.. i've experience a 15 cent per kilometer in a combination of both highways and city streets..
kapan tiba di Indonesia
asalkan okey sudahlah. janji boleh guna nak pi mana-mana.
Maybe this comparison could give a fresh perspective on this model:

Wanna perfect car, buy Ferrari or Lamboi ……..if we can’t afford, rush is far better that a bicycle……..hehehehe
The best Vehicle i have ever owned, the people that complain should not compare a this to a lux vehicle, it is not, it is what you pay for and 10 x more than the money that you pay for it. If it was your money and you have to buy a light on fuel cheap 4×4 that would take you though most of africa, you would buy this one over and over again !
face the facts, if you compare this to a audi or a Pajero it will loose in styling, but build quality is good and engine reliable, in SA if you want reliable you buy Toyota
