Ground clearance is only 161mm, not getting much more really. Also remember this is based on the shorter wheelbase platform of the Corolla hatch/CH-R (minus the independent suspension).

Another rival Toyota left out is the Kia Seltos 2.0 (P1.098M to P1.5M).

Nobody is buying the refreshed HR-V either which they mentioned as their rival.

Top three 5-door subcompact crossover SUVs in the market as of mid-year are the following:
1. MG ZS
2. Geely Coolray
3. Ford EcoSport

Jimny is at third if you want to include the 3-door 4x4.

From a price-point perspective, the Rush takes care of those. And add all of them together, the Rush still outsells them.

Buyers dont care what platform the car is on..basta alam nila SUV ang Rush, SUV din yung mga yan. Maliit nga lang.

I guess even Toyota knows the Rush is basically just an SUV-ized AUV (Avanza). Even the lower Avanza leans like crazy. So now they built the more refined car-based Corolla Cross which can compete with other car-based crossover SUVs.

But the taller stance also makes the Rush prone to body roll, so take it easy around the corners in this thing. A noticeably stiff suspension attempts to compensate for this instability, which results in a very bouncy ride. Passengers in the third row will notice this the most, as the back hops up on even the smallest of bumps.

SUV-fying AUV's was probably the inspiration for making the new rush/terios out of the avanza in the first place.
