Toyota Raize 2024.

An all-wheel drive SUV from Toyota will arrive for 1 million rubles: it has only one drawback.

NaAvtotrasse named the pros and cons of the new Toyota Raize crossover.

The new Toyota Raize crossover should arrive in Russia in 2024. This model will be supplied from Japan.

That is, the car will enter the Russian market in right-hand drive. However, this feature is perhaps the only significant drawback of the Japanese model.

At home, this crossover sells for about a million rubles, recalculated at the exchange rate.

But for this money, a fairly rich set of options is available, including modern multimedia with a touchscreen and a developed security complex with several sensors and cameras.

The car is based on a modified TNGA platform, which provides a comfortable ride.

In particular, the crossover suspension copes well with various types of irregularities.

At the same time, the Japanese model is not designed for off-road use, although it can drive beyond asphalt surfaces.

Under the hood of the new product is a liter engine with an output of 98 hp.

This unit consumes extremely little fuel even under high loads and provides excellent dynamics.

The variator that comes with it, as well as the engine itself, are considered one of the most reliable in its class.

Moreover, the new product has optional all-wheel drive, although it is more likely to improve stability on slippery roads.

However, it should be noted that the length of Raize does not reach four meters.

At the same time, the trunk volume of the new product is 369 liters, which is the best figure in the class. In addition, it is based on a similar Daihatsu crossover.

And this company was recently forced to stop production of all cars due to the fact that it provided incorrect information about the safety of the cars.

The small Toyota Raize crossover has begun to be sold in Russia. The car is not even four meters long.

Russian importers have started supplying another model that was not officially supplied.

As Rossiyskaya Gazeta writes, advertisements for the sale of a compact Toyota Raize without mileage have appeared on one of the major classified sites.

Almost all crossovers are promised to be delivered to order. The price in the advertisements reaches 2,700,000 rubles, but sellers warn that it may change depending on the exchange rate in effect at the time of concluding the contract.

Toyota Raize debuted in 2019. It is based on the DNGA (Daihatsu New Global Architecture) platform, a variant of the TNGA designed specifically for small city cars.

Moreover, the model was developed not by Toyota, but by Daihatsu. The Raize has McPherson struts at the front and a semi-independent beam at the rear.

In terms of dimensions, the crossover is noticeably smaller than the C-HR: the length of the Raize is only 3995 millimeters. The cabin accommodates five passengers, and the trunk volume is 369 liters.

The cabin has a “floating” multimedia system tablet (for more expensive versions) and a dashboard with a digital screen, as well as a multifunction steering wheel and many compartments for storing small items.

The crossover is driven by a one-liter three-cylinder supercharged 1KR-VET engine, developing 98 horsepower and 140 Nm of torque.

It is paired with a V-belt variator D-CVT. The default drive is front-wheel drive, but it is curious that the miniature model also has full Dynamic Torque Control with an electromagnetic clutch, like the RAV4.

Parallel imports have replenished the market with another right-hand drive Toyota — the third-generation Sienta compact van costing from 750 thousand rubles. The model went on sale at dealers from the Primorsky Territory.
