Is The TOYOTA RUSH a Beefed-up AVANZA or a BABY FORTUNER?? Drive Impressions and Full Review!

[@raxmyworld2118]

For a new car owner like me, ok na ok na sa akin itong Rush. Di naman ako mangangarera kaya ok lang kahit sabi nila underpowered sya. This is a family car for me, kaya chill2x na takbo ayos na. 👍🏼

[@cMiggyB]

Same sir. Kanya kanyang preference lang. Enjoy na enjoy ko talaga to. Actually di ko nga alam na underpowered kasi first car ko to. 😅

[@ronelsulit967]

Totoo sir, tsaka sino naman ang may kailangan ng speed dito sa pinas di ba? Di bale sana kung pulido traffic and road system natin dito, ayos lang na bumili ka ng sports car. And yes, its definitely a family car. 🙏 for those who are saying its underpowered, subjective siya sa driving experience and purpose mismo ng car, eh kung gusto pala nila ng speed eh di bili sila ng sportscar tapod ikarera nila dito sa pinas. Lol. 😂

They're both doing a great service for car buyers and enthusiasts. Big thanks!!

[@lionojudah3256]

This is a very informative and balanced review, keep it up 👍! We've had our Rush for a year and a half now, for us it's neither a beefed up Avanza nor a baby Fortuner, it is the Toyota Rush, a sub-compact entry level SUV with a 5 Star Safety Rating. A body on frame design with a 220 mm. ground clearance, generous approach and departure angles suited for mild off-roading or city street flooding and potholes. The 1.5 liter engine is fuel efficient under 100 kph, we usually cruise at 40-90 kph range so it give us enough. We average 12 km/L although most of our driving is on mild traffic. What it lacks in power it compensates in fuel efficiency, safety, and practicality. 😊👍

[@markjavier5536]

Sir, similar to my question to Sir Reygan, do you think a 1.8 liter engine will be more suitable to the Rush (similar to the one in the Corolla Cross)? Or at least as an additional option/variant? Thank you for your response :)

[@lionojudah3256]

@@markjavier5536 Yes, a 1.8 engine would be a good option plus a 6 gear Automatic transmission. But this upgrades will increase its price. 😊

[@kneth77]

always watch your video reviews! detailed and honest!

[@markjavier5536]

Sir Reygan, based on reviews that I watched or read, the common 'complaints' against the Rush are: 1. lack of horsepower and torque (engine-related) and 2. stiff suspension. Sir, do you think a 1.8 liter engine will be more suitable to the Rush (similar to the one in the Corolla Cross)? Other than the engine and the suspension, I think the Toyota Rush is already a very good vehicle :) 1. 5-star safety rating from the ASEAN NCAP 2. high ground clearance 3. appropriate width for tight roads and traffic 4. 7-seats 5. durability/longevity (based on Toyota's reputation) Thank you and God bless!

[@lansangel]

Rush owner here of a 2018 E A/T... For me, the only complaint that I have with the vehicle is the lack of manual mode... The transmission is adaptive enough to match your shift habit when driving a manual... The engine is so far enough for me that I have the selector left in D and only use 3 2 and L when going downhill... IMHO, a 1.8L engine would be a bit powerful for the light body of the Rush... And for the suspension, I just leave the tire pressure at the recommended level, 34 F and 38 R, to have the suspension working and at the same time it lowers the suspension stiffness...

[@raycg80]

Hi, i like ur videos and reviews. I however noticed on several of ur test drives that u lack road courtesy. No hate here, but i believe u could show more discipline on ur test drives to serve as an example to ur viewers. U already r considered as an influencer, put it to good use. A bike rider was trying to cross the street on his feet using the ped crossing, instead of allowing him to pass, u just went ahead like he was not there and if u noticed, incoming traffic had to stop for him. It could have been a win win situatiom for everyone. U delaying him delayed others. This is not the first time, other vids show u not stopping or slowing down on ped xings despite people on the striped line wanting to cross. I remember another test drive in a two way street, u disregarded an incoming motorcycle bec u avoided a vehicle that stopped in front of u, u could have braked but chose to swerve and let the motorist avoid u

[@dAdDyGlEnZ]

advantage of a RWD is di ka mangangamba sa akyatan pero dun ka nga lang babawiin sa takbuhan sa patag na daan. pero RWD vehicles is a blessing to have one these days kasi they come in handy to situations na malalagay ka daan na bibitin ang FWD.

[@mushimushimushi9176]

Depende yan sa sasakyan,ito Rush mabagal talaga pero karamihan ng Suv at pick up purp RWD,ang FWD lamang sa traction o mas makapit un gulong pag kurbada at basa un daan.

[@markjavier5536]

Yes, Sir Vince Pornelos of AutoIndustriya prefers the 5-seater because the vehicle becomes lighter and there is more cargo space :)

[@miketangbaoan]

I think toyota rush is the perfect MPV if you usually drive in bad road conditions. With its RWD, it is simple and rugged and more suitable sa current situtation ng PH roads, lots of potholes and uneven pavements.

[@danielfitri97]

imo, the new exterior design is better than before, its more subtle

[@ethiomol9951]

Its not an MPV car , its SUV thats why it’s not as comfortable as Inova or xpander because this car is built for off Road , and its more looking like Baby Pajero than Baby fortuner, the worst thing about this car is very bad suspension ( hard) , and the noise of the engine from inside the cabin above 80 km/hour .. very noisy . And some plastic cover under the seats broken off after few passengers in few months using . It’s an overprice car for it’s quality the only good thing about this car is the nice looking design and it’s RWD makes this car good on a bad road and very economic for gasoline !

[@sulayi1441]

Counting this baby 😂😂 2 year Rush owner... its a great city car. Especially traffic no hassle..No Problems so far. Used as a daily driver hatid sundo and our business... Yes its a Daihatsu. Dont expect Fast and Furious but it will get you from Point A to point B... 😂 Suspension gets better if loaded . Its a great seller kase Toyota... Was waiting for another MpV from another brand but Sales was Lousy no feedback on when our unit was coming even if we paid down payment they took months. But when we went to Toyota it just took 2 days may unit na. Kaya Sales and after sales Toyota. And yes we've tried others too. So far best experience has been Toyota After Sales 😂.

It takes a while to build up speed, but it's pretty similar to other 7-seater ladder-frame MPVs in that regard. It's decent for daily use, but as a speed junkie, it's underpowered for me.

[@brianroque7346]

It is actually one of the more reasonably priced Toyotas. 6 airbags + standard ESC at just over 1M pesos. Pangit nga lang imaneho dahil rebody lang siya na Avanza, which is 8+ years old. Pero ok din dahil 6 airbags and standard esc, good for those parents who want to buy a safe car for their children, but not good if the parents are going to drive it themselves.

[@markjavier5536]

I agree Sir. Kung family safety, the Toyota Rush is really good. If Toyota kaya will provide a bigger engine (ex. 1.8, similar to the Corolla Corss)? Baka magagawan din ng paraan ang suspension.

[@brianroque7346]

@@markjavier5536 honestly, I think the engine is fine enough without a load but i think what it desperately needs is an all-new redesign based on the DNGA or TNGA platform. Softer suspension upgrade can improve comfort & stability, but it will worsen handling which the Rush is already very bad at (current Rush has stiff suspension but flex-y body & chassis, not a recipe for comfort and handling). Thankfully, rumors are pointing to that the next-gen Avanza will be based on DNGA and other products based on this platform (Toyota Raize/Daihatsu Rocky/Perodua Ativa, Daihatsu Taft etc) got generally positive reviews on chassis tuning. I'm sure Rush will follow suit. This will give it better fighting chance against the Ertiga/XL7 and Xpander.

[@EngineeredBusiness]

It’s a BEEFED UP Avanza. A rebadged Daihatsu just like Avanza and Wigo. People just buy this because it has theToyota badge. However, torque figures are not that great considering you can access the 134 Nm at 4200 rpm. It means it is good for hauling 5 people in a city drive. Youll be sacrificing much of its mileage if youll sit 7 people. Getting this up to Baguio is doable - just dont expect to overtake 14-wheelers that easily. If people are considering to buy a Toyota, better buy the Innova. Same price point but better performance and handling.

[@chouhankumar8087]

i want to ask. sir.. thats car. safely going to up hill with 7 people??? there are no problme going to travel mountains???

[@litobulos2023]

misleading review for the categorization. It was reviewed as an MPV yet on 7:04, he said it right that it is SUV. TR is intended for city driving and can be felt economically with the prevailing heavy traffic in general. only a 1.5l hence i really do not expect this as a powerful unit used for racing. Still, the review is acceptable as he pointed out the features quote ok. Every brand has its plus and minus and you decide according to your preference. based on the review, i like the TR among its rivals. Apart from the features, the look of the TR is really pogi on all sides. and it is Loaded!

Hi Sir - I have watched most of your reviews especially for MPV segment. I would just like to get your expert opinion which is the best MPV in the country right now? BRV, XL7 or this Rush? By the way good job in providing no non-sense review and providing your viewer detailed information on their future car. Thank you and I do hope to hear it from you..

[@mushimushimushi9176]

Only Rear wheel drive in Gas Mpv that you mentioned is Toyota Rush but best MPV is Toyota Innova.

[@nilascocaguimbal1882]

Xpander is advised to be the most comfortable mpv to ride, with cruise control and has enough feature for the price. Innova remains the most popular family car, more spacious than Rush or Avanza but still 7-8 passengers could still feel crammed inside. It has the most powerful engine in the segment, with Diesel engine but it's pricey. XL7 and Ertiga are the cheapest I suppose. Space-wise, it's better than Rush or Avanza. The suspension is great, close to Xpander (XL7 is a bit on the firmer side, but still better than Rush), fuel efficient and can even give you 20L/km on highway. BRV has a similar issue with Avanza, the leg room. Suspension is firm and seats are not comfortable.
