The Toyota Rush has been discontinued for the Malaysian market, UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has confirmed to paultan.org.
The seven-seater SUV has been taken off the UMWT website, over five years since the model was launched in the Malaysian market in two variants, the 1.5G at RM88,314 and the 1.5S at RM91,885. The Toyota Rush was assembled by Perodua in Rawang alongside the Aruz, with engines and transmissions made in Sendayan, Negeri Sembilan, as with the Aruz. See the differences between the two, here.
Powered by a 1.5 litre 2NR-VE naturally aspirated petrol engine making 105 PS and 136 Nm, its closest rival is the Honda BR-V. Compared to the Honda, the Rush is 21 mm shorter at 4,435 mm, 40 mm narrower at 1,695 mm, though 39 mm taller at 1,705 and 23 mm longer of wheelbase at 2,685 mm. The Rush also has 19 mm greater ground clearance, at 220 mm.
Compared to the Aruz, equipment gained for the Rush included automatic air-conditioning, blind spot monitor and the Panoramic View Monitor with four cameras. Similarities between the two in terms of equipment included Perodua’s Advanced Safety Assist (ASA) 2.0 on the Aruz, which was identical to the Rush’s Pre-Collision System.
Meanwhile, the Perodua Aruz continues to be on sale, priced at RM72,900 for the 1.5 X and RM77,900 for the 1.5 AV, according to the Perodua website.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
UMW Toyota lets be real ok? Bring the real ones lah like usa had highlander, pruis or something that can bring Malaysia in
Toyota nw owned by sime, baik beli Veloz Zenix
Dah kena blasah by X90 sales
Sure… Will you buy at those prices? Real idiot.
Rav4 pun susah mau jual
Agreed. They should leave the low end market to Perodua and focus on mid to high end models like Corolla, Prius, Camry, Crown, Harrier, RAV4, Vellfire
U can’t afford it..
Is this to distant themselves from Daihatsu’s scandal? Context: the Rush is also involved in Daihatsu cheating at vehicle safety and engine certifications.
What u talking about? Daihatsu is owned by Toyota how to distant? LOL!
Who would have thought asking buyers to pay extra 10k over the Aruz just for the Toyota badge is a bad idea…
It wasn’t too bad an ideal. Rush came out first to absorb the first wave of demand. It was viewed as good value for a Toyota until aruz gave it a run for its money. I would pay the 10k for the badge and just to be serviced by a different center.
Well, Veloz tell different story isn’t it? People does pay 10k more over the Alza.
Fraud products… Make some announcements on the Daihatsu Scandal lah, don’t keep quiet
The Aruz facelift will probably add all the extra stuff previously in Rush.
Toyota Malaysia lineup should be
Sedan = Vios, Corolla(ditch Altis name), Camry
Hatchback = Yaris, Corolla Hatchback
SUV = Japanese Yaris Cross, Corolla Cross, Harrier, CKD RAV4 and Grand Highlander
MPV = Noah, Lepat and Hellfire
Innova should follow Rush and disappear for good. Those two are an insult to mock us for being a developing nation
It is not mocking when Malaysia is definitely a third world country, economically and politically!
Oh really? Then why Malaysians bought more expensive Harrier than used-to-on-sale cheaper Rav4?? Why luxury automakers value Malaysia more than our neighbours(except Sg)?? The only that makes us third world is your existence and your entire bloodline living in this nation. Gtfo
This is every Malaysian’s dream, this is what we want
A friend wanted to trade in his Toyota Rush.
The dealer gave him the price of the Perodua cousin.
With a huge price diffential of almost 20K,Toyota fanboys opt for the cheaper version.
This stupidity is already the worst decision of Mr Kurusamy to allow a “parallel” product to fight adik Perodua.
Just quickly bring in new Yaris Cross as other ASEAN countries have started to sell Yaris Cross…
It does not even sell well actually even its sister model aruz that also will also be discontinue
Sales 2023
Aruz: 11k +
Rush: <900 units ( literally poorest sold toyota models even its flagship cars like camry, harrier outsold the rush
And veloz is pretty much a successor for affordable 7 seater from Toyota
I think the discontinuation means the Aruz facelift is coming, and they don’t plan to reinvest in the Rush for the facelift.
Nice, my Rush now as rare as a Rav4
Not gonna sell it!
Even Aruz I hear getting discontinued
floating drive + super underpowered dinasour 4AT with 70s Vannete Van rear aircond. Yes, it is rare
It’s more stable when you compare it to Ford Ranger at cornering
Ladder Frame strengthened vehicles have higher CG, yet more durable.
More suitable for Offroad and 20 years durability.
good news. lebai2 now want mazda only.
I say don’t Rushing buy this wait for Chery coming out new model Chery Tomato 4X4 and 7 seating no need buy petrol.
Chery Tomato lol!!
i wish there’s more competition for small, cheap mpvs (or even private passanger vans). the old alza has been absolutely useful for me, but I don’t mind a larger bootspace. serena is double the price and just 6 seater
