Toyota Rush is a 5-door mini SUV that went on sale in Japan in January 2006. This is a joint project with a subsidiary of Daihatsu (Toyota owns 51% of the shares there).

In fact, this car replaced the second generation of Toyota RAV4 , since in the same 2006 the third generation of Toyota RAV4 appeared , which became much larger than the second. And in fact, Toyota Rush ( Daihatsu BeGo ) has occupied the market niche of Toyota RAV4 .
