Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) rolled out the “Looking Forward To New Journeys Ahead” promo. As the name suggests, the company aims to help you get your dream Toyota car so you can go out on the road and experience new things for the years to come.

Under the promo, the Toyota Raize is available with a Php 10,110 monthly amortization deal through the Pay Light option. The Pay Light option consists of low monthly plans, a 50 percent down payment, and 60 months to pay. To be more specific, the low monthly plan is offered on the subcompact crossover’s G variant.

The Toyota Raize with the G badge is the model’s mid-spec variant. It comes with a lot of features similar to what’s available in the top-of-the-line 1.0 Turbo variant including split-type LED headlamps with line guide, sequential LED front turn signals, and power adjust and auto-folding side mirrors.

Meanwhile, shared interior bits are a 6-way manual adjustable seat for the driver and a 4-way manual adjustable seat for the front passenger, a smart entry system, a push start button, and six speakers. However, only the top-spec gets the 9-inch infotainment screen, while the one in the G spans eight inches. Regardless, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard.

Under the hood, the Toyota Raize G is powered by a 1.2-liter inline-3 engine as opposed to the smaller 1.0-liter inline-3 turbo engine of the Raize Turbo. The former is capable of generating 87 horsepower and 113 Nm of torque. It is paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), which is generally more fuel efficient than geared transmissions. That said, the crossover can be your trusted road partner for new journeys ahead.

In addition to the low monthly plan, the Raize is available with free periodic maintenance service up to 20,000 km for all variants. This can help your vehicle stay in tip-top shape for presumably the first year of ownership.

Development on this model, however, started as far back as 2017. From the get-go, it was based on Daihatsu’s DNGA platform, which primarily focuses on Kei cars and city car models. 

It was then introduced to the Philippine market in January 2022.

Other exterior features present on the top-spec Raize and the Raize G include auto-folding side mirrors, and a sharkfin antenna, among others. This subcompact crossover will then ride on a set of 16-inch or 17-inch wheels depending on the trim.

Inside, the Toyota Raize can seat up to five occupants. Depending on the trim, it either gets leather-clad seats or fabric-covered seats. The rear seats are also split folding. Moreover, it also offers a tilt-adjustable steering column. Some trims also have a push-to-start button, as well as automatic climate control. 

Technology and Safety Features

For tech, the Toyota Raize has a nine-inch headunit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also has two USB charging ports. The said headunit is then linked up to a six-piece speaker system. 

Safety-wise, this Toyota crossover also features stability control, anti-lock braking with electronic brake-force distribution, and hill-start assist.  

The top-spec variant adds to those with a rear camera, front, and rear parking sensors, as well as blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert. 

Platform and Chassis

The Toyota Raize is built upon the Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNHA) platform. This means that it is a unibody vehicle. 

For suspensions, it uses MacPherson struts for the front, and a torsion beam for the rear. Braking is then handled by front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. 

Engine and Performance

The Toyota Raize is getting two engine options for the Philippine market. For the E and G trims, these are powered by a 1.2-liter inline-3 gasoline engine capable of making up to 87 horsepower and 113 Nm of torque.

In the Philippine subcompact crossover segment, the Toyota Raize sits high up the totem pole when it comes to offering features. Then again, there are some models from Chinese brands that can beat it in terms of driver-assist tech. The Raize also sits in the middle of the pack when it comes to engine outputs, and it is on-par with its competitors when it comes to interior space.
