Spine-tingling performance
Looks can be deceiving. It may look small, but under the bonnet is enough power to put boring to the sword. Rukus performance is truly outstanding. It's one spirited little mover with a lively driving experience that's set to leave the competition standing.
Rukus' American sibling, the Scion xB, made quite a name for itself with its thrilling driving experience. Its performance and power ensured it always punched above its weight, making it a huge hit among drivers in big cities across the US. And now Rukus is gearing up to do the same in Australia with something that's right out of the box.
Sequential shift
An automatic that drives like a manual. Rukus puts a bit of thrill into your everyday drive with its four-speed automatic transmission, which shifts up and down crisply and seamlessly. Its sequential shift gives you manual-like control of gear changes, enabling you to move up and down gears with lightning speed. It's what helps create Rukus' spirited driving experience.
The Super ECT intelligent four-speed automatic transmission gives you uphill/downhill shift control to help minimise gear changes when driving on winding or hilly roads. It also enhances your ride by providing engine braking during downhill driving which reduces the need for you to brake.
Driving Rukus gives you the thrill of driving a manual when you want and the ease of an automatic when you don't.
2.4 Litre VVT-i Engine - 123kW of power
RThis city slicker packs a surprising punch. In fact, it has no right to go so well and effortlessly outclasses most other small cars. Drawing its power from an uncompromising 2.4-litre four-cylinder VVT-i engine, it delivers a pulsating 123kW of pure thrill. This means Rukus has more than enough grunt to provide exceptional acceleration and heaps of torque to conquer hills with ease.
At the heart of Rukus is an engine that uses Toyota's Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence (VVT-i) and uses a double overhead cam and 16 valves to optimise the airflow through the engine, delivering more power and better fuel economy.
With an engine of this calibre, you'll not only stand out from the crowd - you'll leave them standing.
