However, this year we have expanded the SUV segment with our newest 7-seater, Toyota Rush, which is proving to be one of the most attractive products among our discerning Filipino customers as it combines space and solid road performance, with top-level fuel economy, and Toyota-guaranteed dependability, all packaged in a stylishly designed body.”
