Toyota Rush 2025 is a mini SUV based on the concept of Daihatsu Terios. It is also known as Bego in some countries and has been marketed by Toyota as well as Perodua under different nameplates.
The second-generation Toyota Rush was launched in Pakistan in 2022 and became an instant hit. Despite the high price bracket, its sales are going up by the day. The second-generation Toyota Rush comes with an eye-catching exterior and a comfortable interior. The seven-seater mini SUV is available in two variants in Pakistan - Toyota Rush G M/T and Toyota Rush G A/T.
Toyota Rush Exterior
The new Toyota Rush 2025 has a sharp and distinctive front fascia with a unique headlight cluster design that features LED headlamps with silver ornaments and houses front fog and driving lamps with chrome bezel. The front also sports LED daytime running lights. The bold chrome grille on the front gives it a dominating look.
The rear of the Rush 2025 comes with sleek horizontal styled rear LED combination lamps. The rear also sports a high-mount stop lamp and a rear spoiler. The top of the car sports roof rails to increase boot space by adding a roof rack.
Toyota Rush Interior
The interior of the new Toyota Rush 2025 is not too spacious. The legroom for front passengers and third-row passengers is cramped. Moreover, the material used in the interior of the car is of average quality, making the car not too attractive. The urethane-wrapped steering wheel comes with steering switches for audio control. Behind the steering wheel is an LCD multi-information display with chrome rings.
The Toyota Rush 2025 sports push-start feature. It features dual-zone automatic air-conditioning with a rear cooler as well as a heating system. The car also comes with a rear window defogger, rear center console, power windows, and clearance back sonar. The power outlets are only available in the front of the car.
The fabric-wrapped seats come with headrests but only the driver seat is vertically adjustable. The center fascia houses a 7-inch capacitative touchscreen that supports DVD, USB, MP3, Bluetooth, Wifi, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay.
Toyota Rush Safety
The Toyota Rush 2025 comes with some of the modern safety features such as an immobilizer with a safety alarm for the anti-theft system. In addition to that, it also has an anti-lock braking system, vehicle stability control, emergency signal system, and hill-start assist control.
Toyota Rush 2025 also comes equipped with brake warning, fuel level warning, door ajar warning, light reminder warning, and key reminder warning systems. The mini SUV also has airbags and seat belts in all three rows.
Toyota Rush Engine
The new Toyota Rush 2025 comes with a 1.5 Liter DOHC 16 Valve Inline-4 engine that can generate a maximum output of 77/6000 kW/rpm at a maximum torque of 136/4200 Nm/rpm.
The Toyota Rush G M/T variant comes with 5-speed manual transmission and the Toyota Rush G A/T variant comes with 4-speed automatic transmission.
Toyota Rush Ride & Handling
The new Toyota Rush 2025 is an easy-to-handle car. It allows complete control over the car to the driver and is safe for the daily commute and family trips. A downside of the Toyota Rush 2025 is that its acceleration is dull and underpowered. Its performance at high speeds does not match other cars by Toyota.
Toyota Rush 2025 is not meant for thrilling adventures and is most suited to be driven within the city. Moreover, its hill-assent feature is not up to the mark, making its performance quite average.
Toyota Rush Maintenance
The maintenance of the Toyota Rush 2025 is quite expensive. The car itself is expensive and so are its auto parts. Its auto parts are not widely available throughout Pakistan which makes maintenance even more difficult.
Toyota Rush Competitors
The new Toyota Rush 2025 competes with Honda Vezel, Kia Sportage, and Hyundai Tucson in the Pakistani automobile market.
Although Honda Vezel is a five-seater car, it sports a similar engine as that of the Rush 2025. Vezel beats Rush when it comes to better engine performance and overall ride quality. Vezel also comes with cruise control, an essential feature that Toyota Rush lacks. On the other hand, Rush 2025 provides a larger seating capacity, better fuel economy, and better safety options.
Kia Sportage is a strong rival of Toyota Rush 2025 as it is cheaper in comparison and provides countless more safety and driver-assist features. The Sportage comes with a 2.0-liter petrol engine which gives a better performance, better mileage, larger dimensions, and is jam-packed with features. Rush, in comparison, only provides more seating capacity.
Hyundai Tucson also competes with Toyota Rush 2025 and beats it due to its good fuel economy, better on-road performance, and several driver-assist features.
