Indonesia

The second-generation Terios and first-generation Rush were both launched in Indonesia on 14 December 2006, with the former succeeded the Taruna. Both cars were sold in long-wheelbase configuration and rear-wheel drive layout only. Three-row seating were standard on the Terios and optional on the Rush. The Terios was initially offered in TS, TS Deluxe, TS Extra, TX Deluxe, TX Elegant and TX Adventure grade levels, while the Rush came with G and S grades. On 1 October 2008, the Indonesian market Terios received updates such as standard body-coloured side body mouldings, as well as side visors, single SRS airbag on the driver's side and parking sensors, followed by the Rush in August 2009. The TX Elegant grade was removed in this update. The Terios and Rush received their first facelift on 5 and 6 October 2010 respectively, equipped with dual SRS airbags as standard. The S grade of Rush was later replaced by TRD Sportivo grade on 29 August 2013. At the same time, the Terios received some minor updates. On 20 March 2015, both the Terios and Rush received their second facelift, consisted of projector headlamps with

On 18 February 2016, the R Custom grade was added for the Terios, followed by TRD Sportivo Ultimo grade (with TRD suspension kits) for the Rush on 26 February. Three-row seating became standard on both TRD Sportivo grades.


Singapore

In Singapore, the Terios is offered by the local distributor in both short- and long-wheelbase configurations with an 1.5-litre engine and as a 4WD as standard.


Malaysia

In Malaysia, the second-generation Terios is available as the Toyota Rush (2008 to 2017) and Perodua Nautica (2008 to 2009). The Rush was introduced in January 2008 as a long-wheelbase model. Imported from Indonesia, it offers three-row seating as standard. The Nautica was introduced in April 2008 as a rebadged model of the short-wheelbase Terios/Rush. Available with standard four-wheel drive, it was imported from Japan as the replacement to the Perodua Kembara.


= Toyota Rush

= The first-generation Rush was launched in Malaysia in January 2008. It is available in two grade levels: 1.5G (with either manual or automatic transmission) and 1.5S (with automatic transmission only). The Rush sold in Malaysia is the long-wheelbase model in seven-seat configuration. In December 2010, the Rush received its first facelift for 2011. In April 2015, the Rush received its second facelift with the same model in the Indonesian market. Exterior changes included redesigned front bumper, radiator grille and bonnet. The bumper is finished in a two-tone effect and the grille is finished with faux carbon-fibre. Elsewhere, there is a new integrated chrome lining highlight running across the headlamp and radiator grille, restyled tail lamps with combination LEDs and smoked lenses. The 1.5S has additional equipment including fog lamps, chrome covers for the wing mirrors, and leather steering wheel and gear knob.


= Perodua Nautica

= Perodua launched the rebadged version of the short-wheelbase Terios, called ''Nautica'' in May 2008. The model was fully imported from Japan, except for the front grille, front bumper and rear bumper which are manufactured and fitted in Malaysia. It has a 1.5-litre DVVT engine, full-time 4WD, projector headlamps, and five seats with dark interior. The price tag of the Nautica is not much different from the long-wheelbase Rush. It comes with only two colour choices: Medallion Grey and Majestic Black, and comes in automatic transmission only. The Nautica was quietly discontinued in 2009, slightly less than a year after its launch. Only a mere total of 489 units were ever sold. The reason for the discontinuation was because as a national car company focused on local manufacturing, Perodua was unable to obtain sufficient necessary Approved Permits for vehicle importation, as the Nautica was imported in CBU form from Japan.


South America

In Chile, the second-generation Terios in short-wheelbase configuration was launched in 2006. It was re-branded as the Toyota Rush in August 2016, as Daihatsu left that market.

Third generation (F800/F850; 2017)

The third-generation Terios was unveiled in Indonesia on 23 November 2017, along with the second-generation Rush. The development of the car was led by chief engineer Eiji Fujibayashi in 2015, with its design influenced from the FT Concept. Unlike previous models, these generation of cars are sold in long-wheelbase configuration only and neither the short-wheelbase configuration nor four-wheel drive option are offered. It uses the same platform as the long-wheelbase version of the second-generation model, albeit with some tweaks. Compared to its predecessors, the design of the car has been made more streamlined, akin to crossovers. This model has a rear liftgate rather than a side-opening rear door and no longer has the spare tyre mounted on the rear door. The model codes are F800 for the Terios/international market Rush and F850 for the Malaysian market Rush/Perodua Aruz.

Recalls

On 15 July 2019, Toyota had announced that around 60,000 units of the Indonesian market Rush manufactured from December 2017 to February 2019 would be recalled due to a problem regarding the airbags. It is stated that the affected models were found to have an improperly programmed airbag control module which could cause the side curtain airbags to accidentally deploy even when the vehicle is running normally. An impact on the rear wheel when passing a pothole or dent may be misinterpreted as a collision, which may cause deployment of the side curtain airbags. The Terios models were not affected due to the fact that the model is not being equipped with side curtain airbags.


Awards

In July 2018, the car won the "Good Design Indonesia of The Year" award.
