The Toyota Raize is the first surprise the Japanese marque will give this year to Filipino car buyers. In fact, local Toyota dealerships have now started receiving reservations for the brand’s new subcompact crossover. This information was confirmed by various outlets including volleyball star Alyssa Valdez.
Valdez announced on her official Instagram account that customers can now reserve for the Raize as early as now with the hashtag #RaizeTheGame. She is seen standing next to the small crossover covered in what seems to be a two-tone exterior paint consisting of a Black Mica Metallic roof and Turquoise Blue Mica Metallic body.
The upcoming PH-spec Toyota Raize will reportedly come with a ground clearance rated at 200mm, making it ideal for rough roads. Depending on the variant, the exterior can be fitted with split-type LED headlamps, power-folding side mirrors, and a choice of either a 16- or 17-inch alloy wheel.
Even the interior gets a handful of features including a fully digital instrument cluster, a touchscreen head unit equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, leather seats, and 60/40 split-fold rear seats. Safety-wise, the model is installed with six airbags, anti-lock brakes (ABS) with electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), blind-spot monitoring, among others.
