Square In Design, But Not in Attitude
Toyota has produced a grown up car. Toyota Rukus
is longer and wider than either the Cube or the Soul competitors by a good margin, and
offers a much more powerful engine. Under the bonnet is a four-cylinder in conjunction
with a five-speed manual. Combination supplied a spirited performance around town
and lots of passing power and torque for long highway grades. In a drag race, the
Rukus would likely to beat the Soul by a nose and the Cube by several cars lengths.
Yes, in this class of vehicle the Rukus is fast. It is one you feel most comfortable
in on long drives.
The Toyota Rukus has long-distance cruiser appeal, as well as being suitably sporty.
Elsewhere in the stretching canyon, the Rukus felt sure-footed, with its large size
designed to avoid body roll, and add mass to deal with the stability control system,
which comes into play as it is required. Active and sophisticated operations aided
by the five-speed manual meant it was still fun to drive.
When it came to pulling people and cargo, the Toyota won the big one. The rear bench
offered the most hip and shoulder room of the three we test drove. If you have a
trip with five passengers, the Rukus is the best choice. We also loved the cavernous
Toyota cab and a comfortable fold-down armrest.
The Toyota Rukus was the biggest and the strongest three, with zip and power combined
into one fun package. The unique appearance, comfort and safety are thrown into
a mixtto create a very pleasant experience. If you are looking for a car that turns
heads and gets you, your friends family, and what you're towing from point A to
point B with comfort, style, and performance, the Toyota Rukus you should definitely
consider.
