Big Deal Box Like Car From Toyota

Toyota Australia has given us a hint of their latest series of vehicle, the Toyota Rukus Australia, which is made to capture the loves of all the gadget geeks. If it’s anything like it’s US counterpart then the Toyota Rukus could be with an equipped with an in-car AV headunit that is capable of playing audio and video, and providing efficient MSN direct navigation system to let you stay away from obstacles on the road, and staying tuned with all the necessary timely information.

What's In The Box?

The Toyota Rukus equivalent in the US comes equipped with a touchscreen-based Pioneer Audio Visual Navigation headunit , which features voice recognition, MSN direct, Bluetooth and supports flash memory. This audio visual head unit also provides connectivities to your iPod, USB sticks and memory cards for playback and transferring of audio visual files. There’s a lot of Rukus specifications that should be read to be appreciated the inner workings of this new car.

The Pioneer AVN headunit is satellite radio and HD Radio – ready and will play DVDs and iPod videos when the vehicle is in park. User can also customize the generously sized full-colour high-resolution WVGA LCD touch-panel display of the headunit.

The 2009 Scion xB from Toyota (Rukus in Australia to be launched), fresh off a complete revision last year. No, it's not as small. No, it's not quite as boxy. And no, the xB is no longer playing in this market segment all by itself. Both the 2010 Kia Soul and 2009 Nissan Cube are hip, box-like appliances destined to meddle with Scion's sales figures. But does the xB still carry enough charisma to square off against the competition? Firstly it oozes with character as well as a unique style of Rukus practicality to it which when supplemented with an extensive range of Rukus Accessories provides one with an open canvas.

Perhaps - the original Toyota xB had a simplicity to its design that, in spite of its prolific use of right angles, looked remarkably clean. In constrast, the new model has curves on most surfaces giving it a more streamlined look.

The xB's greater stature is immediately noticeable inside. The cabin offers up a copious amount of space for drivers, passengers, and cargo alike. There's ample luggage space behind the rear seats, which is nearly double that of the Cube. Most of the interior was trimmed entirely in black plastics and fabrics, and equipped with an dome lamp that gently illuminates the spacious interior.
