This 2022, Toyota Motor Philippines has already brought in the Raize subcompact crossover. It has four variants, and it is now available from Toyota dealerships nationwide. More recently though, Toyota has announced that it is also releasing several Gazoo Racing (GR) accessories for the said crossover.
The Raize with all its Gazoo Racing accessories
These GR accessories for the Toyota Raize include a GR Front skirt, a GR side visor, GR side skirts, a GR side stripe, as well as a GR rear skirt.
Of note, all trims of the Raize can be fitted with all the aforementioned accessories. With all of these placed on the Toyota-made crossover, it further enhances its exterior looks by making it a bit more aggressive and angular.
These accessories are also identical to the exterior pieces available to the Indonesian-spec Raize GR Sport. For the Philippine market though, it looks like we’re getting individual Raize GR accessories and not a Raize GR Sport trim.
