The 2018 Toyota Rush is a compact SUV from the Japanese automaker which is set to make its international debut this year.

Furthermore, since this vehicle will ideally fall in the price range of INR 9 lakh to INR 14 lakh, it would emerge as a worthy competitor for the Hyundai Creta.

The lack of a diesel engine is one of the major reasons that Toyota did not launch the current generation of this SUV in India.

This engine is going to produce 107 Bhp of power along with 141 Nm of peak torque. While the diesel derivative is going to get a 1.4-litre unit.
