Toyota is expected to launch what car specialists are calling a \u2018baby Fortuner\u2019 in South Africa within the coming months.<\/p>\n

As previously reported by BusinessTech<\/a><\/strong>, a\u00a0version of the Toyota Rush will be launched as a budget-conscious SUV locally, having already launched in Indonesia, and the Philippines. It is also expected to launch in India and the UAE.<\/p>\n

The Rush contains a 77 kW\/137 Nm 1.5-litre petrol engine, which is paired with a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission.<\/p>\n

Design-wise, is is reportedly very similar to the Daihatsu Terios \u2013 which was discontinued from the local market in 2015 \u2013 and is a brand that belongs in the Toyota stable.<\/p>\n
