The pick of the range is the Rush 1.5S, as it is the only variant to come equipped with Pre-Collision System, which encompasses Pre-collision Warning, Pre-collision Braking, Front Departure Alert, and Pedal Misoperation Control.

The New Toyota Rush 2019 1.5S also gets leather seats, automatic LED headlights, front fog lights, and a leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel.

For buyers that need to ferry more than 5 occupants regularly would be pleased to know that the New Toyota Rush 2019 can accommodate average height adults in the third-row seats with relative comfort as the second-row seats can slide and recline to free up more space.

In terms of safety, the New Toyota Rush 2019 is relatively well equipped – both variants of the New Toyota Rush 2019 feature 6 airbags, electronic stability control, Emergency Stop Signal (ESS), Blind Spot Monitor (BSM), and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA).

Although the New Toyota Rush 2019 is built on a robust ladder frame platform, the flipside is that the chassis flexes more when going over uneven roads. It does get rather uncomfortable in town driving, but redeems itself on highways as the 215-profile tires help keep the SUV planted.

Furthermore, fuel consumption of the New Toyota Rush 2019 is on the higher side, largely due to the gear ratios that are intended to cope with excessive load. As such, at 110 km/h, the engine spins at 3,500 rpm, making it rather noisy and burns more fuel.

What Are The Alternatives of New Toyota Rush 2019

Honda BR-V

The closest rival to the New Toyota Rush 2019 is the Honda BR-V. Unlike the New Toyota Rush 2019's ladder frame platform, the BR-V feature a unibody construction, which benefits the BR-V with a more car-like driving characteristic.

The Honda BR-V is also more fuel efficient, thanks to its front-wheel drive layout and CVT-type automatic transmission. However, the BR-V is lacking in the safety department as it only offers 2 airbags across the range.

Perodua Aruz

Toyota Rush also faces stiff competition from the Perodua Aruz, as the Aruz is essentially the same car, but retails for almost RM20,000 less. In an effort to separate both models, UMW Toyota Motor has equipped the Rush with Panoramic View Monitor (PVM), Blind Spot Monitor (BSM), and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), both of which are unavailable on the Aruz.

Furthermore, the Perodua Aruz also benefits from a more versatile air-conditioning system, as the one found on the Aruz is able to direct airflow to the windscreen or to the driver and front passenger's feet. The air-conditioning in the New Toyota Rush 2019 is only able to direct airflow to the face only.
