Toyota is clearly targeting main share in the premium segment. However, it also wants a major pie of the volume market and thus all set to start fresh this time.

Apart from Daihatsu’s plans for India, which will be a fresh and upmarket Honda City rival, the rumors in the last couple of months suggest that the Rush compact SUV will come to India later in the year 2016. It has the potenital as it got appealing styling and suspected to be good on the inside.

Expected Price

Prices could start from 5.5 lakhs if the car is localised with engine and production being done in India.

Engine & Specification

We could get 1.2 petrol engine seen in the Liva and a 1.4 diesel engine from the Etios twins but making more power and torque. Petrol makes around 88 BHP and currently the 1.4 Diesel makes 70 BHP. It should be tuned to deliver 90 BHP or slightly less. Any new engine if it may come will be a 4-cylinder unit under the 1.5 litre category. An automatic transmission is also on the cards.

Toyota Rush Expected Mileage

Expect class leading mileage for the car which should stand at 17 km/l for the petrol and 24 km/l for the diesel.
