UPDATE: The 7-seater Toyota Rush has been launched in Malaysia! – Click for details, specifications, photos and pricing.
Two units of the Toyota Rush – one goldish and one blue have been snapped on the Putrajaya-UPM highway by reader Halim. These are definitely long wheelbase units, and whispers through the grassroots say that Toyota SAs around the country have informed of a launch before the end of the month, which is less than a week away!
Just as a recap, the Toyota Rush is available in various configurations around the world, but all come with a 1.5 litre VVT-i engine. You can have either a 4X4 or a 4X2 drivetrain, and either 5 seats or 7 seats. We will have to wait and see which models are offered here in Malaysia – the only thing that’s for sure now is the long wheelbase, with the short wheelbase model most likely to be used a Kembara replacement sometime in mid-2008.
View a short ad clip of the Toyota Rush after the jump – it’s been posted before but serves as a refresher.

Comments mainly focus on the Toyota Rush's "floping" driving characteristic, which the company claims is normal for the model, and owners' concerns about its quality and pricing. Many discuss whether the Rush is a true SUV or a crossover, noting it lacks 4WD but has SUV-like features such as large tires and rear spare wheel. Several comments compare it to MPVs like the Avanza and Livina, emphasizing its segment differences. There is also dialogue about the vehicle’s price range, expected performance, and build quality, with some critics arguing it's overpriced and others optimistic about its market impact. A few comments include off-topic jokes and speculative remarks, but overall, the sentiment is a mix of curiosity, skepticism, and anticipation regarding the Rush’s specifications and market position.
