The Toyota Rush is developed to be a tough and casual sport utility wagon and is meant to merge the enjoyment and drivability of an SUV, the ease of use and convenience of a compact hatchback and the fun and functionality of a small station wagon.     

The Rush has a turning radius of 4.9 meters making driving along narrow streets and parking a breeze. The wheels are placed as close to the four corners of the vehicle as possible, providing a long wheelbase and a wide track, thereby achieving excellent cruising stability.     

Despite compact body dimensions, the vehicle's high efficiency layout offers a cabin space that accommodates four adults in relaxed comfort and a roomy, 380 liter cargo space. The minimal difference in height between the floor and the scuff plates by the front doors, along with rear doors that open in three stages to a maximum of 77 degrees, provide excellent overall ease of entry and exit. Special features, such as four luggage tie-down hooks, electrical sockets for accessories in the instrument panel and rear cargo space, and water repellant full fabric seats facilitate outdoor leisure activities.
