The SUV has a ground clearance of 220mm. The 2018 Toyota Rush gets a new steering wheel with controls to operate the infotainment system.

Further, in addition to twin bottle holders on the door trims, there are three holders positioned between the first row occupants. The seats sport a premium fabric and not leather, something, that we believe, will be offered on the top of the line variant.
