UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has teased the arrival of the new Toyota Rush, which is set to make its launch debut here in Malaysia on October 18. The company also announced that the registration of interest for the SUV model is now open, and you can do so via this link.
In its latest form, the seven-seat SUV looks radically different from the outgoing model with a more aggressive and angular styling approach that incorporates hints of the Fortuner in the design. We’re sure most of you would prefer the new look to the old one, but if you feel different, proceed to state your case in the comments below.
The interior also undergoes a major overhaul with a more contemporary design that is on par with the rest of the Rush’s siblings. Highlights include a soft-touch, two-tone dashboard, USB ports in every seat row, a DVD-AVX infotainment system with a seven-inch touchscreen and automatic air-conditioning. Keep in mind that this kit list is based on what is offered in the Indonesian market and could change for ours.
The improved kit list is complemented by an enhanced suite of safety features, with six airbags, VSC, ABS, EBD hill start assist, emergency stop signal and seatbelt indicators for seven seats coming on all Rush models sold in Indonesia. Also included are LED headlamps (seen in the teaser image) with LED light guides and LED rear taillights.
Under the bonnet, the new Rush gets the 2NR 1.5 litre four-cylinder engine (also found in the Perodua Myvi and the Toyota Avanza). The DOHC Dual VVT-i unit makes 104 PS at 6,000 rpm and 136 Nm of torque at 4,200 rpm, with power going to the rear wheels (overhauled platform) via a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Aiya, this one launched in Thailand, Philipin and Indonesia last year man
Wow stunning…this will sell like hotcakes..its a seven seater compared to x70…more rugged than brv…its a suv not mpv…and its a TOYOTA…ohh what a feeling…
This car come in, who will buy X70? Cause Toyota is sold in 200 over countries and time tested. Geely only mainly sold in China. All first world countries have REJECTED Geely.
So, are you willing to gamble RM100k on a car that is rejected by all first world countries??
Different segment, no need to compare
Same car with a new face
Jepunis more reliable
What’s the point if the car crawls even slower than a fully loaded lori balak up Karak highway? The passengers will have to go out and push the car uphill.
Here is UMW with slogan slow, cut spec, expensive..
UMW = You Must Wait
To be honest still 1.5 litre NA engine nothing special…..
Toyota too selow. Nobody is rushing to get this, everyone waiting with bated breath for X70. The waiting tension is palpable.
No thanks!
No thanks! Say X70 buyers
habis la Boyue…DOA
Habis la BRV
Fugly…but sure still alot people buy.
Or better wait for p2 suv.
Dude… You will be dissapointed
Perodua SUV will only be coming out in 2021. Man man tang.
Or maybe this will become p2 suv
those avanza owner will upgrade to this
UGLY just like u.
Get off the keyboard and go do those house chores that u’ve been promising ur mom to do.
I’m not any particular fan of any brand or model yet I don’t think this is an ugly car. U know what? My problem with u is that, the way and how u judged and comment, says ur immature and when an immature gets behind a computer, he’s a keyboard warrior who learns everything from YouTube and pass it off as their knowledge.
Get a life dude. U think everyone have same taste ka? Some like it, some dont like it mahhh. If u like ceena doll, do u think everyone loke ceena doll oso ahh? If u like bmw but other dont like wat to do? People habe freedom to comment express what theu like n dislike, who r u to judge? Too much immature u are dude. U learn from youtube only ahh? No wonder u cooy paste people style only, and so judgrmental. We learn by ourself daily life hardtime real life, no need youtube. Use common sense not use ur otak di lutut and keyboard sense. Dude!
Early birds gotten the worm, that’s Honda Brv
Honda BRV is not even safe at all. In which Honda BRV have only 2 AIRBAGS, No Hill Start Assist, No VSC, No ESC at all as I already checked from Honda Malaysia Website. Look at Toyota Rush more safety features, have more airbags than BRV
hallu mario, BRV got hill start assist, abs AND VSA (stability control in honda term) on all variant. u probably cross check with the wrong website, possibly with toyota avanza.
Oh sorry batuu. Honda BRV have only two airbags while Honda BRV got HSA, VSC
Others have ‘rushed’ ahead of Rush.
Honda brv anytime anywhere.
Honda BRa-Ver > Toyota Rush
Still use 4AT?? Kemon toyota at least use 5AT i still can accept.
What’s with the 4AT?!?!? We are in 2018 are we not???
Toyota still stuck in dinosar era.
Due to the rear wheel drive, they can’t pair it with a CVT.
1.5? I’ll pass. Even vios engine is more powerful
Still 1.5 vvti 4 speed auto. “Good”
The real game changer! Good RV
Looks like the Avanza on tippy toes.
No need to Rush. Pun intended.
not sure about you guys but 104hp for a 7 seater seems underwhelming
As above
early death if the price is at HRV level for a BRV competitor.
if they sell this how P2 gonna sell their SUV ? I dun think P2 will develop their own SUV, they only rebadge from daihatsu
Same way they sold the Rush and Kembara together.
Not far fetched for Perodua to do their own rebadging and facelift. But I think they would be in no “rush”. The Alza replacement is more pressing.
They can.. if they sold CHEAPER than toyota. Hihi
Toyota cares about the safety, therefore the Rush is coming with best safety features in class in Malaysian market.
This car will definitely capture the small 7 seater SUV market. Please don’t forget, being a Toyota, you will get good RV when you sell it later to upgrade to the Innova or Fortuner.
4 speed auto? In 2018? Seriously? And 100hp to haul 7 people? I’ll pass
0-60 in 3 mins
Laaaaaaammmbbbaaaattt sangat
from SUV to MPV..fugly exterior
Saw couple ov’em in black in indonesia recently,
Lookz d biz….
Started life in Indonesia as Daihatsu Terios and transformed into Toyota Rush in Malaysia with premium pricing.
If it is more than 70k, forget it and get the Honda BRV.
Or wait for the new Alza.
For those who missed out the report in PT in Jan 2018,
do read this.

It’s time for Perodua to launch their SUV too.
You know what i mean?
This new vehicle from umw effectively kill its sister sienta….likely premium pricing again …rm100 k region…UMW…..the master in premium pricing…
GT86, Rush are the best of Toyota. The others model crap.
seriously…”4″ speed automatic?
Wow, so toyota now have 2 model of 6 seater.. toyota rush and toyota sienta.. toyota rush should have go to perodua line instead..
No need to, RUSH. Pun intended.
this Asean Toyota vehicles really very bad in design. Those China Vehicles have better design then them.
This one looks like an Avanza more than rush…
Still four speed? Hmmm
104 PS and 136 Nm torque for an SUV? What sort of sissy SUV is this?
The real game changer! Habislah ploton & Honta
Heard the price starts from RM141,888 for the 1.5L. Truly better value than the Geely Boyue given it’s a Toyota and it’s excellent RV.
Own a Toyota, love my Toyota but this one is CRAAAAP!!! Please la guys, stop supporting ALL manufacturer given us crappy output engine! Put on Myvi, Yaris or Vios I can relate la…but on car hauling at least 5 adults and 2 kids…sigh
In terms of price, previous model sell over RM100k, will this beat BRV?
Avanza on steroid..
102ps!!!! The price same as the previous version!!!??? if yes than good luck in your sales number.
Toyota so premium sure price from 130K…LOL
lately UMWT pricing all gone…only vios and hilux selling.
wow din know its rear wheel drive
anyway gona see alot speed boys driving their rush like f1 car…notice alot of that in unser/avanza driver ^^
The new Rush got to be one of the ugliest SUV ever. Even the HRV or Sportage look 10x better than this ugly rush junk. Somehow Toyota is loosing it’s pace with the design, safety features and also interior.
I hv been waiting for this long time. Faster give us price and more detail. Wil consider if less then 110k. Its toyota anyway. Great aftersales service so far
4 speed??? Confirm under power. No Thx!!!
No need to buy this rush when u will get p2 suv with same engine n chassis(except interior n exterior) with price below 80k. Just wait for their launching before dec18. P2 sales prson already went to training n briefing about their new suv, so save ur money.
is that true? i’m waiting for perodua suv because i really like the daihatsu terios design and i know that daihatsu terios is cheaper than toyota rush eventhough its pratically the same car
