Looks like UMW Toyota has picked the right time yet again, to launch another magnificent model - the New Toyota Rush, to compliment their current Malaysian line-up, and since yesterday, bookings were already taking place throughout the country. Officially the 7-seater all New Toyota Rush will be launched into the Malaysian market this coming Friday, 1st of February, 2008 and can be viewed at all UMW Toyota showrooms.
The New Toyota Rush will carry the tag-line - Define Your Lifestyle, as it begins its domination into the entry level SUV market, given the fact on the run-out of Perodua Kembara in Q2 2007. This will be a first for UMW Toyota, as the New Toyota Rush will be a completely-built-up unit (CBU) model direct from Indonesia.
If you love the thrill of city life as much as the great outdoors, the Rush is an SUV tailored just for you. Sleek enough for the cityscape’s, accommodating enough for weekend fun.
The all New Toyota Rush, will come in three variants to maximise product marketability :
- 1.5G (Manual), is priced at RM85,888.00 (Individual Private) with Insurance & Road Tax
- 1.5G (Auto), is priced at RM88,888.00 (Individual Private) with Insurance & Road Tax
- 1.5S (Auto), is priced at RM94,888.00 (Individual Private) with Insurance & Road Tax
In looking at the New Toyota Rush, I find that the model has a sophisticated look, with short overhangs and long wheelbase to emphasise the large wheels at each corner, which gives a sense of stability. It will come as no surprise if you are at any time taken-up by its eye-catching wheel flares, sturdy looks and prominent front styling, that proves it to be tough. Having dynamic features such as - curvaceous bonnet, headlamps and rear combi lamps, make the New Toyota Rush all too captivating.
