Since its Philippine launch in 2018, the Rush has been a popular choice, especially among families, for its practicality and style.

Yet, the future of the Rush in the Philippines has now become a topic of discussion, and Toyota’s silence on the future of the Rush is causing a stir. Toyota has yet to announce any plans for a new version of the Rush, leaving fans and potential buyers in suspense about its fate. The Rush is mostly known among Toyota’s lineup as a durable, rear-wheel-drive family vehicle. However, with the constant change in the automotive world, fans can’t help but wonder whether the vehicle can keep up or just step aside.

In Malaysia, the discontinuation of the Rush, originally known as Daihatsu Terios, wasn’t due to a lack of popularity. Instead, it looks like the focus was directed to the Perodua Aruz, a similar but more budget-friendly option, which raises questions about the Philippine market’s preference for similar models.
The Rush’s future in the Philippines currently still hangs in the balance. However, with the increasing competition and changing consumer preferences, Toyota may soon have to decide the fate of the Rush in the Philippines.
For those who are still waiting for news on the Toyota Rush’s fate in the Philippines (like us), it’s a waiting game. So, what’s the deal with the Toyota Rush in the Philippines? Is Toyota planning an upgrade, or should Filipinos start preparing to say their goodbyes to this model?
