Toyota Rush Generations — Which to Buy?
Rush in Malaysia has gone through two main generations. Understanding the differences helps buyers choose the right used unit.
- First gen (2006–2016, TJ150): 1.5L 3SZ-VE, 4-speed or 5-speed manual, ladder frame — robust but showing age; check for rust on frame
- Second gen (2018–present, AN160): 1.5L 2NR-VE, 4-speed auto, newer safety features (VSC standard from 2020) — preferred choice
- 2022+ facelift: minor exterior refresh, same mechanicals — no reason to avoid earlier AN160
