2018 Toyota Rush Indonesia pricing revealed – no increase despite higher specs, from RM72k-RM78k

2018 Toyota Rush Indonesia pricing revealed – no increase despite higher specs, from RM72k-RM78k

Toyota unveiled the new Rush in Indonesia last year – simultaneously with its twin, the Daihatsu Terios – but it did not reveal prices at the time. Now, the company has announced that the new seven-seater SUV will come with the same prices as before, according to a report from AutonetMagz.

In fact, said Toyota, the range-topping TRD Sportivo auto variant is actually three million rupiah cheaper than before. As such, prices start at 239.9 million rupiah (RM71,500) for the base G manual, rising up to 249.9 million rupiah (RM74,500) for the G auto, 251.3 million rupiah (RM74,900) for the TRD Sportivo manual and 261.3 million rupiah (RM77,900) for the TRD Sportivo auto.

Standard equipment includes LED head- and tail lights, 16-inch machine-finish alloy wheels, push-button start and a reverse camera. The TRD Sportivo throws in a soft-touch two-tone dashboard, a colour multi-info display, USB ports in every row, a DVD-AVX infotainment system with a seven-inch touchscreen, Miracast, Weblink, Bluetooth and Waze support, plus eight speakers.

As the name suggests, the TRD Sportivo also gains a number of aesthetic enhancements, including a larger front and rear underguard, chunky fog light surrounds and protective side strips, along with 17-inch alloys. Better news is that safety kit such as six airbags, ABS, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Hill Start Assist (HSA), emergency stop signal and seat belt reminders for all seven seats are standard across the range.

All models get the same new 2NR 1.5 litre Dual VVT-i petrol engine from the Avanza, making 104 PS at 6,000 rpm and 136 Nm of torque at 4,200 rpm. Power goes to the rear wheels through either a five-speed manual gearbox or a four-speed automatic.

Given that prices in Indonesia have remained stable between generations, the Rush shouldn’t be too much more expensive than the current model when it reaches Malaysia, where the outgoing SUV is priced from RM101,900 to RM106,700. What do you think – would you prefer the more rough-and-ready body-on-frame Rush or the more passenger car-like Honda BR-V?

        Can we also get this Toyota here for RM72k? IF we get this car at RM72k, I think Boyue can tutup kedai. Eventhough Boyue is a C seg, people still trust Toyota engines.

          • Unfortunately Toyota dinosar even more gas guzzling than even my CPS, far worse than more fuel efficient VVT. No wonder Toyota habis lah.

          Lol knowing UMW, they’ll price the Rush at 110k if the CH-R is any indication of their greediness.

          Let’s see if buyer’s trust is able to convince people to pay that much for an SUV with high spec but inadequate powertrain.

    UMW Toyota set to launch at least 4 all new models – Camry, Vios, Rush, Previa & more…

    • You must be a Toyota employee. People in section 15 Shah Alam knows that the UMW factory is hardly assembling any cars lately. Only the Hilux is selling.
      The conservative Toyota styling and technical features is losing badly to Honda. And buyers are getting smarter.

  • Ladder frame? Bone shaking ride and useless 3rd row seats. But well suited for their lousy roads. For here, a proper MPV is better buy.

    Rush wont be rm 72-78K in Bolehland.It is a myth only.
    At that price range,the Vios and Avanza will be affected.
    It will be at Rm90-100K depending on the specs you choose.Anyway,dont expect cheap cars from Premium price leader UMW.Year ending,so PNB expects max profits to reward sahreholders…so the shambolic pricing by UMW will continue.

    It seems that it has much more to offer compare to Honda BR-V (if the price range is set to this). I’m curious about the third row sitting.

    If it comes with the full list of kit intact the Rush will be a better buy solely coz of its higher safety kit count compared to the BRV provided UMW does not hike the price.
