ABU DHABI: Toyota UAE lineup is stocked with powerful and efficient cars that can take on the highway and dunes alike. Further, extending Japanese automaker roots in the country is the all-new 2019 Rush. The new Rush is based on the Avanza, the popular micro-van that’s been around in the auto arena for a while now and has attained a few mentionable sales achievements globally.

It’s not the first time for Rush in the UAE, but what’s different this time is that local distributors would sell it. Toyota UAE has not only included it physically (at various dealerships), but prospective buyers can also check the new SUV online at the company’s website.

However, before you jump on to 2019 Rush official webpage, here are a few highlights about it that'll help you understand it instantly -

1. Toyota UAE is offering the all-new Rush in only one trim option, i.e. EX variant.
