Essentially a Corolla spin-off (in fact, it was branded the Corolla Rumion in Japan), the Toyota Rukus was sold from 2010 - 2015 in Australia with a punchier 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine from the Camry and tall boxy styling similar to that of the also short-lived Kia Soul and Skoda Roomster. Perhaps a few years too early for the current crossover craze, in a way the Rukus now has a spiritual successor in the form of the Corolla Cross small SUV.
The line-up currently starts at $14,630 for the Rukus Build 1 and ranges through to $21,340 for the range-topping Rukus Build 3.
