Exterior Enhancements for a Sportier Look
- Bold New Grille: A gloss black grille with a honeycomb mesh design replaces the previous design, adding a more aggressive touch.
- Enhanced Toughness: A larger front skid plate and black protective lining on the sills project a rugged appearance.
- Wide Over Fenders: Flared wheel arches give the Rush GR Sport a wider stance and a more muscular profile.
- Gloss Black Accents: Gloss black trim extends to the rear section between the tail lamps, adding a sleek element.
- 16-inch Alloy Wheels: Stylish alloy wheels complement the sporty makeover.
- LED Tail Lamps and Other Features: Standard features include LED tail lamps, roof rails, and a shark fin antenna.
Upgraded Interior with a Touch of GR
- Spacious 7-seater Cabin: The comfortable interior layout remains, now featuring black upholstery throughout.
- GR Logos: The GR logo is prominently displayed on the headrests, steering wheel, and floor mats, emphasizing the sporty theme.
- Silver Accents: Silver accents on the center console, transmission lever, and steering wheel add a touch of sophistication.
- Large Infotainment System: A new 9-inch Display Audio unit with GR Sport opening graphics takes center stage in the dashboard.
Safety Features Get a Boost
- Enhanced Safety Package: The facelift prioritizes safety with six airbags, electronic stability control, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) like collision detection and prevention.
- Additional Safety Features: Seat belt reminders, speed alerts, child seat mounts, and ABS provide comprehensive protection.
Engine and Transmission Remain Unchanged
- Proven Performance: The 2024 Rush GR Sport retains the 1.5-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine, delivering 105 horsepower and 136 Nm of torque.
- Transmission Options: Both a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed automatic transmission are available, sending power to the rear wheels.
Market Availability
- Indonesia Launch: The Rush GR Sport is currently launched in Indonesia and is unlikely to arrive in India, where Toyota offers the Rumion, a rebadged version of the Maruti Ertiga.
- Competition: The Rush GR Sport competes with rivals like the Ertiga and the Honda BR-V in markets where it’s available.
In summary, the 2024 Toyota Rush GR Sport offers a sportier aesthetic, a revamped interior with a touch of GR branding, and enhanced safety features. While the engine and transmission remain the same, the overall package provides a more attractive option for those seeking a stylish and practical 7-seater MPV.
