Toyota Raize

Will it see the daylight on our sunny island soon? I seriously doubt so given the unreasonably high cat A COE premium. The new Vios was launched on 9 August 2022 in Thailand as the Yaris Ativ. It is developed by Daihatsu through a joint Toyota-Daihatsu internal company known as Emerging Market Compact Car Company (EMCC) under the lead of executive chief engineer Hideyuki Kamino. It is based on the DNGA-B platform shared with the Raize and the W100 series Avanza. The model is introduced with a 70 mm longer wheelbase at 2,620 mm (103.1 in). Compared to its predecessor, the car features a fastback-like sloping rear roof section which stretched the window line further back. Following the foot steps of Mitsubishi Attrage, it will be equipped with the 3NR-VE 1.2-litre engine with Dual VVT-iE technology producing 93 horsepower / 110 Nm torque, and paired with a Toyota-made CVT gearbox marketed as Super CVT-i. No words if it will be followed by the regular 1.5L engine.

Got this in my mail I think the Mokka is cheaper than Raize right now This one everyone sure interested if you live/work near Ubi:

here's my honest review of it - a few friends told me their requirements: they require a crossover because they have aged family members to ferry around, so the higher hip-point makes ingress and egress a lot easier. The car has to be economical to run, safety shouldn't be compromised, and have a spacious enough boot for a wheelchair OR baby stroller. I did my research, and with a sub-$90,000 budget, the Raize stood out, together with the Kia Stonic and Honda Shuttle. After bringing them to view the aforementioned cars, the Stonic was only ever-so-slightly taller than a normal hatch: the old fogeys commented it took them around the same effort to get in/out of the car as my E250. The Shuttle also didn't have a high hip-point, but it did have a very commodious boot that could fit both a wheelchair AND baby stroller. It was, however, let-down by the miserly 2 airbags and higher running costs (1.5l consumption and r/tax vs 1l). Of the 3 cars, the Stonic was the most torquey and responsive, the Shuttle had the largest boot, but the Raize was the best all-rounder. We went to my friend's PI at Turf City, and tbh the Raize didn't impress at first: the interior was VERY PLASTICKY (no soft-touch surfaces whatsoever anywhere), the seats weren't leather-clad, and there were plastic hubcaps instead of alloys. As mentioned by a few people here, the a/c panel was also straight-out from the early 90s! I personally feel the PIs would have done well by dressing the show car up in leather and alloys (c'mon, how much do these things cost? $1,000?) to make the car much more presentable, but ah well. However, the car made sense! With a 1l engine and Toyota's famed fuel-sipping engines, fuel consumption was definitely going to be better than the Stonic/Shuttle. Even though the base 'X' model had none of the additional electric safety nannies the 'XS' and 'G' has, it had 6 airbags, traction control, and full LED headlights and taillights. It had a high hip-point (Pioneer Generation approved), and the rear seat was remarkably spacious also, despite it being less than 4m long. Test-drove the car, and it really does feel like a 1.4l NA engine - I think the turbo used is a light pressure one because there's no turbo-lag or sudden power delivery that pushes you back into the seats. I usually don't like cars with CVTs because the response isn't as immediate or refined compared to a conventional slushbox (let alone DCTs), but my friends who tested the car said it was alright by their standards, plus the light steering, cushy damping, and NA-feeling engine made for a very easy drive. Inside, most of the 3cyl roughness was pleasantly absent, but because I am coming from an E-Class, I could still detect the faint burble of the 998cc engine. To my friends though (one is driving a Stream, the other, an HD Avante), the car was definitely quiet enough for them. At below 1 ton, the car is certainly in the featherweight category, which contributes to its breezy acceleration and low fuel consumption figures, yet the doors closed with a reassuring thud - we tested it against the Shuttle also available at the PI showroom, and there was a puzzling lightness and hollowness in the Honda's doors, which didn't inspire confidence. I suppose most of the Raize's lithe weightage stems from how Toyota used high strength steel at key points of its body, yet side-impact beams in the door panels are still there to help in the event of a side impact. To sum it up: The Good 1. Price is right for a mini crossover at current COE levels. At $86,000, you'd be hard-pressed to find a similar mini crossover with this amount of interior space (the Stonic's backseat is simply too cramped) and standard features: LED headlights and 6 airbags aren't always a given at this end of the market. 2. The car is actually quite handsome, imo, it looks even better in person. 3. CVT isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Definitely quieter than Honda's EarthDreams CVT nonsense which sounds like a spinning washing machine when you floor the gas. 4. Boot is surprisingly capacious. Because it lacks a spare tyre (tyre repair kit included), there is an additional compartment that is quite usefully sized in the wheel-well where the spare tyre normally is. 5. Because the seats and headunits are locally fitted, you may customize the color of the leather to your liking... as for the HU, depends on which PI you go to and your bargaining power, you either get a 10.25" Android HU or a much-smaller 7" Pioneer set. The Bad 1. The air-con panel - OH MY GOD TOYOTA/DAIHATSU, WHAT WERE YOU ALL THINKING?! It's alright if the base variant doesn't have climate control, but surely it isn't too much to add an electric switch for the recirculation button instead of that horrible left-right lever? 2. The signal stalks are BMW esque - they revert to the "neutral" position after you pushed it all the way down/up to signal it consecutively. Takes some getting used to, but eh, the light switch on it also reverts to the "Auto" position?! Apparently you cannot switch the lights away from "Auto" mode. Puzzling. 3. Body roll is very evident. This is not a car for you to gun for the flashing green arrow - your passengers will feel sick. 4. Rear seats can fold down as expected, but when they fold back up they make a horrible high-pitched clunk when the latch secures. Very unbecoming. 5. The plasticky interior mentioned earlier. Surely it wouldn't cost too much to add a tiny bit of foam and fabric (will be changed to leather here anyway) to make just the front door arm rests and panels a tiny bit softer? Also, rear seat has no fold-down arm rest in the middle. To digress and answer the previous few posts: Yeah, why would anyone buy this car when the Yaris Cross has been launched overseas and already on our horizon? But looking at that car's features, OMV is likely to be above $20,000, so the Raize will probably appeal to those needing a more affordable crossover with a lower downpayment. Also even if you had the cash but needed a new car soon (and can't wait for the YC because its launch here isn't cast in stone), I guess the Raize would be your next best option. Just my 2c!

Or a a Perodua Ativa is a Toyota Raize

The only successful auto company in Malaysia (or Asean) is Perodua. Their R&D staff is embedded into Daihatsu team. Raize/Rocky/Rex/Ativa has input from Perodua R&D staff. Toyota Agya/Perodua Alza is another collaboration btw Perodua and Toyota.

Source: https://www.motor1.com/photo/6953185/2023-subaru-rex/ It's essentially a rebadged Daihatsu Rocky and revives a name last used 30 years ago. The Subaru Rex debuted in 1972 as a rear-engined kei car with rear-wheel drive that was followed by a second generation in 1981 that switched to a front-mounted powertrain and FWD. The Japanese automaker transitioned the pint-sized vehicle to the Mk3 model in 1985 with supercharged engines before pulling the plug in 1992. The Rex is back for 2023, and this time around, it's not a Subaru per se since we're looking at a rebadged Daihatsu Rocky. Also sold as the Toyota Raize and Perodua Ativa, the subcompact crossover is much bigger than the three Subaru kei cars before it. The third-gen Rex is 3995 millimeters (157.3 inches) long, 1695 mm (66.7 in) wide, and 1620 mm (63.8 in) tall, with a wheelbase measuring 2525 mm (99.4 in). Although the Rocky is sold with an optional all-wheel-drive system, the Subaru version is strictly front-wheel drive. Power is provided by a naturally aspirated 1.2-liter gasoline engine rated at a mighty 87 hp (64 kW) and 113 Nm (83 lb-ft) of torque. The three-pot mill sends its muscle to the front axle via a continuously variable transmission. It's worth mentioning Daihatsu also sells the Rocky with a more potent turbocharged 1.0-liter engine with 98 hp (72 kW) and 140 Nm (100 lb-ft) but it's not available for the Subaru Rex. While the engine seems anemic, the Rex is a light car considering it tips the scales at less than 1,000 kilograms (2,200 pounds). Subaru is confident the three-cylinder mill is capable of delivering "powerful and smooth acceleration" while providing excellent fuel economy. There are even driving modes available for what will primarily be a city car. Available in G and Z grades, the new Rex starts at 1,820,000 yen (about $13,000 at current exchange rates) and rises to 2,171,100 yen ($15,600) for the better-equipped model. Subaru doesn't project it will be a huge seller as the target is to move only 150 cars per month. I must say, Toyota & Subaru have gotten really close knitted ya? hahaha.

This 1.2NA more like tortoise race.....opps, I mean raize

it is not a raize if there is no Toyota badge. 🤣

This is the Toyota Raize, right? The Japanese downsize the already small engine like the 1.4L/1.5L, less one cylinder, hatchback instead of sedan to cut kerb weight, all these to meet their strict emission standard.

source: https://paultan.org/2021/02/22/perodua-ativa-suv-1kr-vet-1-0l-3cyl-turbo-deep-dive/ Perodua’s long-awaited compact SUV, the Ativa, is the talk of the town. Based on the attractive Daihatsu Rocky/Toyota Raize and utilising more of its Japanese partner’s technology than ever before, the D55L promises to be the most advanced Perodua ever – marking a new era for the national carmaker. So far, we’ve looked at the specs, name and pricing; here, we’re taking a deep dive into the Ativa’s new engine, the 1KR-VET. Utilising just three cylinders and 1.0 litres in displacement, it will mark Perodua’s first foray into the world of turbocharging, making it bang up to date with the industry trend of downsizing. As the name suggests, the 1KR-VET is part of Toyota’s KR engine family, which also includes the 1KR-VE naturally-aspirated mill found in the Bezza and Axia. The lineup shares the same aluminium block, cylinder count and 71 mm cylinder bore, but the unit in the Ativa will have a scant 0.1 mm shorter piston stroke than the rest at 83.9 mm. This knocks two cubic centimetres off the displacement, dropping it down to 996 cc. The engine’s stroke has likely been shortened to reduce the compression ratio, which has fallen from 11.5:1 on the Bezza and Axia to 9.5:1. This facilitates the addition of the already-compressed air from the turbo, which would otherwise cause knocking. As is typical for a simple turbo engine, the Ativa will feature a single-scroll turbocharger and a front-mounted intercooler. To keep costs down, it will get regular multi-point injection rather than the more expensive direct injection technology; it will also retain the Bezza/Axia’s variable intake valve timing, double overhead cams, timing chain and four valves per cylinder (12 in total). Naturally, with a turbo in place, the 1KR-VET is significantly more muscular than the 1KR-VE, with outputs of 98 PS at 6,000 rpm and 140 Nm of torque from 2,400 to 4,000 rpm. Against the Bezza and Axia, the Ativa will have an advantage of 30 PS and nearly 50 Nm, which is not to be sniffed at. Those figures are also not a world away from the Nissan Almera, which has a similar 1.0 litre turbo triple and CVT configuration. To enhance the sensation of speed, the Rocky and Raize get a Power button on the steering wheel, which remaps the engine and gearbox for quicker throttle response; it’s unclear, however, if the Perodua version will come with the same function. But the turbo isn’t just good for power – Perodua is claiming an impressive fuel consumption figure 18.9 km per litre for the Ativa. That’s even better than the Daihatsu and Toyota’s 18.6 km per litre with front-wheel drive, although that number was achieved on the stricter WLTP cycle. The downsized engine and stepless transmission go some way towards improving efficiency, but the Rocky and Raize also benefit from a start-stop system. The Bezza and Myvi already come with this feature, but the one in the Daihatsu and Toyota has been improved slightly, switching the engine off when decelerating from 9 km/h (up from 7 km/h). Looking at the technologies, output figures and efficiency numbers on offer, we’re pretty sure most of you can’t wait to try out the Ativa for yourselves (and we can’t, either!). But what do you think – is turbocharging the right path for Perodua, or would you have preferred it to stick with a more conventional naturally-aspirated engine? Sound off in the comments after the jump.

I was damn worried of Sienta Petrol getting underpowered too after going thru lots of review from different platform, but after my test drive it changed my perspective of that car. That day I was also test driving toyota raize, both chiong up carpark slope, overall Sienta was a comfortable ride for passenger, raize has a more bumpy ride behind. Power wise raize feels like having a higher power for chionging but I didn't feel Sienta is underpowered either. However my friend's dad has a Sienta hybrid, which she drove before and said is an underpowered car, was with me during test drive too, didn't feel it is underpowered haha. Maybe I would try her dad's hybrid car someday.

Family of 5 is okay. In fact I think the Raize interior is about as spacious as the Honda Fit/Jazz. And accordingly to Toyota jp site figures, the Raize has superior legroom and headroom compared to the Yaris Cross (XP210 model) and about the same interior width.

Miss Siti, Toyota Raize 2022 Another lady client. Brand new car in for steering wheel customization. At first, she was worried that we can’t fulfill this order as this car is still new. Our team assured her that we will not disappoint and will definitely deliver the best. She also added on a carbon fiber gear knob and handbrake.

PI brought in MIJ Raize

Why not? Raize is Indoyota and it sold here.

The first thing i think of when i saw the front is Toyota Raize 😂😂

Raize is not sold in Europe. Yaris Cross will be sold in Europe. It is btw Raize and CH-R. Raize is Daihatsu more than Toyota.

Bo bian lah... Want affordability must accept some outdated tech lor. 4AT is like bullet proof being the longest around. So just take n put in. This Aruz launched in msia quite a while back liao, cheapest 70k plus rinnnnngggit. Won't move here one lah thou I also drive a Perodua-ki. Price will be like 😳 n surely ppl will 🙄. Recently, Perodua also just launched the Ativa which is the Raize here but the Ativa maybe a notch higher than Raize (jdm) in terms of eqpt level. Drive poor man car cannot ask for much one. Got 2 airbags to protect face nice nice can smile secretly liao. Never sian a charboh with a Perodua and don't u even dream. 🤣🤣🤣

For the same price, Raize or Ativa? Ativa is better equipped than Raize.

Think the Raize saw the camcar and stopped thinking that camcar is making the turn....

Seems like people are not learning from past experience. Came across a post where a dealer is taking in pre-order for the Toyota Raize with $2000 booking fee refundable if the customer is not satisfied after viewing the actual car when it arrive. Not too sure about 14 cars sold in 5 days for Jan 1st batch delivery. What happened to the 2019 facelift Honda Shuttle will happen with the Raize too. No OMV, no actual specs, VES rebate haven't confirm how to work out a selling price? $2000 x 20 units = $40,000. Lots of red flag spotted. 5th November 2019 debut, ready for delivery end of Jan? I'm predicting most people who pre-ordered the Raize will be making noise on social media.

Test drove shuttle, raize and avante. Personally like the avante driving exp but for family purposes I'm more into shuttle. Contemplating between led and non-led shuttle. Understand that led has headlights using led,additonal fog light,auto headlight and 8 air bags with additional 4k. I think the non-led headlight can be change to led type easily. But what other other stuff, justify the cost?
