Raize in brief

The Raize is a compact five-door crossover, around 4 metres long, with a higher seating position than a hatchback. It's designed for city and daily use but has enough boot space for trips.

The same car is sold by Daihatsu (as the Rocky) and Toyota (as the Raize). The model is popular in Japan and Southeast Asia but rare in Lithuania, mostly imported from Japan.

Trims — what's the difference?

The Raize first appeared in 2019. Since then, it has gained modern driver-assistance systems, a touchscreen display, and a wider range of engines.

The choice of engines also varies by market — in Japan, a hybrid version was popular, known as the Rocky e-Smart. When choosing a car, it's important to know which trim and engine it has.

Engines and gearboxes

The most common engine is a 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo petrol, producing around 98 hp. In some markets, a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine is also offered, and in Japan, there's a hybrid version.

The gearbox is an automatic (CVT). Most versions have front-wheel drive, but there are also four-wheel-drive versions.

What to check when buying a Raize

Check the imported car against its registration records and documents. Make sure it has right-hand drive, as this is usually the case.

Inspect the body and suspension, test the CVT box. Check the accessibility of parts — they can often be bought as Toyota Raize or Daihatsu Rocky.
