New Toyota Rush

[Fourwheels]

base on the internet, the selling price from $21k up, think it is going to be at least about $70k up selling price in singapore with the current COE of $8k...

[Jeffrey]

At $10K COE level, it would sell for below $65K - particularly so, if the Daihatsu version (Be-Go) is launched by the local agent. There should be a big rush of potential customers once the initial units are brought into our shores by PIs. I think this should be around Mar.

[T711]

will the daihatsu one and the toyota one have the same engines? which one would have a better FC?

[Jeffrey]

The 2 cars are essentially identical. Differences will be cosmetic in nature. My guess is that BM will not bring in the RUSH, whereas the local agent for Daihatsu will bring in the Be-Go; the PIs will bring in the RUSH.

[T711]

tnks Jeffrey! hmm, may have to choose the Be-Go but will see both cars before I decide...any news when Daihatsu will bring in one?

[Fourwheels]

hi t711, as mail above, Sin Tien Seng will bring in this SUV in May (earlier).

[Deathsythe]

Any idea how much will it cost?

If too high, then dun wait for it to arrive to our shore liao.

[T711]

tnks Fourwheels! hope to see the car soon..

[Wolverine]

Sin Tien Seng ? How about pom chia chia ? just joking ahhaha

[Fourwheels]

i ask, sin tien seng mentioned wait till they bring in the car...

[Fourwheels]

sin tien seng is the distributor of daihatsu passenger car... i think daihatsu truck is by them as well.

[T711]

wow! the vechicle weight is 1825kg? that's pretty heavy for a 1.5l engine. can anyone confirm what is the actual kerb weight of this car?

 

the airtrek which I am currently driving is about 1300kg.

[Kokweetan77]

think the rwd will have better pick up than 4wd .

[BoneStock]

no lah bro, you were looking at RAV4's weight figure.

 

Rush only weighs 1195kg, should be quite manageable for its 1.5L powerplant.

[Firstcall]

no he is referring to the new Rav4 weight not the Rush G.

 

and he is also referring to gross weight not kerb weight. Kerb weight would be arn 1.5ton++ I think.

 

The old Rav4 is also arn 1.3+ton in kerb weight

[Firstcall]

btw what is yr FC for the NA Airtrek?
