The Successor model of the new RAIZE is an OEM vehicle that Daihatsu will handle from planning and development to production and supply to Toyota. The price ranges from 1,679,000 to 2,282,200 yen.

The new Raize is a 5- seater with a total length of 4 m or less, and also has a feature of voice recognition, load a lot of luggage, but has a compact size which makes it easier to drive. The developmental concept is unique, active and compact, making it easy to use for both leisure and everyday use.

The new Raize uses Daihatsu “DNGA (Daihatsu New Global Architecture)”. Newly develop for all platforms, power train units, etc., aiming for a high level in every aspect of driving, high quality, safety, and security.

Elegant Design:

The new Raize has a compact body size of 3995mm in length and 1695mm in width, a powerful 17- inch tire with a large diameter, and an overhanging fender that expresses the strength and feel of an SUV.

The front view expresses strength and wideness with a cornered bumper corner shape and trapezoidal lower grille. The use of thin LED headlamps and LED Sequential turn lamps that illuminate to flow from inside to outside of the vehicle turning left or right creates an advanced level.

In addition, body colors are available in 8 colors including the newly developed “Turquoise Blue Mica Metallic “that emphasizes the sense of activity. In addition, a two-tone specification that combines three colors, including turquoise blue mica metallic, and black mica metallic no-roof has been set up to provide a wide range of color variations.

Interior Design:

Driver’s space where you can focus on driving, such as the amazing front dashboard with good visibility from the driver’s seat, the operation panels arranged toward the driver’s seat, the shift lever placed in a left-hand side.

The front seat uses a new shape seat that has a higher angle of the seat side support part and a different hardness in the back part and side pad to improve holdibility.

In addition, the LED digital speedometer and 7-inch TFT color LCD display are seamlessly displayed to express full-screen innovation. You can choose the display that suits your taste from 4 patterns of advanced, excited, simple, and analog.

Lots of luggage and wider spaces:

The new Raize luggage compartment has a compact body with a width of 1000mm, a height of 865mm and a compartment length of 755mm. The movable deck board improves convenience. A compact SUV top-level luggage compartment capacity of 360L was realized at the bottom of the deck board.

At the top of the deck board, the rear seat can be moved forward to create a flat and deep space for storing long items. Furthermore, removing the deck board can accommodate tall packages.

In addition, as for the indoor space , the space between the front and rear seats is 900mm, the space for the rear seats is secured, and convenient storage spaces are placed throughout the room to realize a highly convenient indoor space.

High Performance with new platform:

High Rigidity Body:

By optimizing the shape of the basic structure and using high – strength plates which are light weight and high in strength, we ensured high body rigidity and realized stable vehicle behavior that does not feel the vehicle height.

Suspension:

The front is MacPherson strut suspension and the rear is a torsion beam suspension. Optimized part shape, reduced weight, installation position, angle etc. from zero base, newly developed. A quick flat, flat ride, and stable running with less rolls were achieved against thrust from the road surface and vibration.

Power Train:

Combines 1.0 liter 1 KR-VET turbo engine with Toyota’s first D-CTV, which incorporates split gear, to achieve both driving enjoyment and low fuel consumption. Delivers powerful acceleration by giving the 1.5L of torque in a wide range of rotation from low speed.

In terms of fuel efficiency, the 2WD model achieved WLTC mode of 18.6km/L and 4WD model achieved 17.4km/L.

In addition, with D-CTV by incorporating a split gear into the conventional belt drive CVT, it becomes a belt + gear drive at high speed, improving transmission efficiency. By widening the gear ration range, powerful and smooth acceleration in the lower speed range and with low fuel consumption in the high speed range has been calculated.

In addition, the 4WD vehicle adopts dynamic torque control 4WD that distributes the optimal torque to the rear wheels to the condition of the vehicle when starting or running on a road surface where tire slip is likely.

Enhanced Safety and comfort functions:

Advanced Smart Assist:

Driving support systems such as “Adaptive cruise control with full –speed tracking function” that supports the following driving of the vehicle ahead, and smart panorama parking assist ( Parking support system) “ that supports the user by voice guidance, monitor guide and steering operation when parking, Equipped with.

In addition to the collision warning function and collision avoidance support brake function” for detection of pedestrians and vehicles, it also contributes to the mitigation of collision damage when the accelerator and brake are mistakenly pressed in parking lots, etc. “Function (front/rear)” was set.

Display Audio:
