What Toyota Rush will bring to the Indian Roads?

Overview

Toyota, the leading Japanese carmaker, offers cars with excellent performance and great handling all over the world. Toyota has a strong presence in the car market of India, thanks to their wonderful cars like Innova, Etios and Liva among others. The Toyota cars are manufactured and sold by Toyota Kirloskar Motors in India, a JV between the Japanese Toyota Corporation and Indian company Kirloskar Group. The Indian car lovers have always lavished their attention on the Toyota brand of cars. The customer confidence and backing has prompted the automaker to launch a new SUV named Rush in India. It is expected that once launched, the Toyota Rush will replicate the unparalleled success of it siblings in the Indian automobile market.

Why Toyota Rush

As the demand for SUVs are on the rise in India at present, there could be no better time to launch an SUV in the country than now. Currently, there are only very limited choices of SUVs here. Hence, every new car is eagerly anticipated. Moreover, as the market is still at its nascent stage as far as SUVs are concerned, the newcomers have an equal chance of establishing themselves strongly in the market here. Hence, it is expected that the Rush will have many favourable conditions during its launch. All the car lovers are expecting the launch of Rush sooner than later.


Expected Price


On its Indian debut, the Toyota Rush is expected to carry a price tag varying from INR 550000/- to 1100000/- (ex-showroom). Many experts feel that this is a competitive price for an SUV of its stature. In addition, as the car is on sale at most of the leading markets across the world by now, the Indian buyers can have a clear idea of what they will be receiving. However, even though the Rush is offered as both five-seater and seven-seater in the global markets, it is not clear if both variants will be offered in India.

Technical Specifications


The Rush is likely to be powered by a 1495cc, 4-cylinder, DHOC, 1.4-liter, 67 PS and 170Nm diesel engine, which the experts say is the same engine featured in the Corolla Altis.

Toyota Rush, upon its launch in India, will take on other popular SUVs like Nissan Terrano, Renault Duster, Ford EcoSport, Mahindra XUV500 and the Tata Safari Storme. In all probability, the Toyota brand name might give the Rush an edge over others, even before it has proven itself on the Indian roads.


Final Word


Toyota Rush will be smaller than the Innova in all characteristics and hence will appeal to those who feel that Innova is too huge for them. However, despite the smaller size, the Rush can accommodate seven passengers quite comfortably. It is expected to offer all standard safety features too.

    An very good article that clearly depicts the facts.The specs seems to be fascinating but design(exterior) looks ordinary and it does not feed masculanity lovers. It looks like a car born for a hatchback and a Suv( front look gives a feeling of hatchback but the rear gives strong SUV look.
    Fingers crossed to see its on road performance!!!
    Will it make other competitors to take a second look on their cars?
