Verdict
The Toyota Rush F800 is the more complete seven-seater for most Malaysian families: RM6,281 more brings a four-speed automatic, 4,435 mm body, 2,685 mm wheelbase, six airbags and a five-star ASEAN NCAP rating. Its 213-litre boot, 17-inch wheels, LED lamps and 360-degree camera also make daily family use easier. The Toyota Rush Mk2 counters with a five-speed manual, 107 hp and 141 Nm, against 104 hp and 136 Nm, plus a larger 50-litre tank. Choose it only if the lower RM86,719 entry price and manual rear-drive layout matter more than safety and convenience kit.
Pick the Toyota Rush Mk2 if you want the cheaper RM86,719 Rush with a five-speed manual, 107 hp and a 50-litre fuel tank.
Pick the Toyota Rush F800 if you want the automatic, longer seven-seat body, six airbags and substantially stronger safety equipment.
