Toyota Avanza vs Toyota Rush Comparison

Despite its compact dimensions, the Toyota Avanza comfortably seats seven full passengers with ample space in all the three rows, which indicates how cleverly engineered the inner cabin of the Avanza is. The third row of Toyota Avanza feels spacious enough for adults as well, while at the same time, folding the third row opens up to an incredibly spacious boot.

The recent facelift which the Toyota Avanza got has made the front end of the MUV look very stylish. The introduction of bi-LED headlamps with split-in-between design of them, along with bolder and bigger looking front grille with redesigned fog lamp housings, definitely has added some character to the front fascia.

The new Toyota Avanza now also gets some premium features, the absence of which did make the previous model very boring from the inside. The introduction of a much-enhanced touch screen infotainment system with Apple Carplay and Android Auto, roof-mounted monitor for rear passengers and automatic climate control are some features which have now uplifted the overall in-cabin experience of the Avanza.

The new Toyota Rush is far more striking and modern to look at compared to the dull and old school looking previous generation model. With features like angular LED headlamps and front bold chrome grille at the front and sleek LED tail lamps at the rear, the new Toyota Rush is definitely a vehicle from present generation aimed at Gen-Y buyers. Not only this, the presence of side body cladding and roof rails do manage to add some macho appeal to the new Rush. 

With the presence of an additional third row of seats, the new Toyota Rush gives the flexibility of a seven-seater, which the previous generations of Rush simply didn’t offer. The two extra seats not only are able to accommodate two extra passengers but also aid in flexible seating configurations, opening up extra boot space as and when required. Apart from this flexibility in space, the new Toyota Rush also has few more bottle and cup holders in the cabin, thus increasing the practicality of it.

Like all the other UVs from Toyota, the Rush feels solidly put together with indestructible build quality despite catering to entry-level buyers. This strong build and nice fit and finish make it reliable to use for a longer run.
