Transmission

Driving characteristics

Under the Rush’s hood is the 102-hp 1.5L 2NR-VE Dual VVT-i gasoline power plant that can also be found in the Avanza. It has the same four-speed automatic transmission, too. Now, the Avanza isn’t a quick car, to begin with, so it isn’t rocket science that putting its engine in a bigger and heavier Rush is a decrement to its power-to-weight ratio. The 4-speed automatic transmission isn't as quick to respond as well, you would need to reach around 3,500 to 4,000 RPM before you’d feel the pull.

Fuel consumption
