Here, you will find the latest Toyota Raize 2022 review that will make you feel that you are already in the car. No more words. Start now.

Overview On Toyota Raize 2022

Toyota Motor Philippines is one of the most successful automakers here in the country. The company has many models for different Filipinos, whether their family is small or large. 

 

In addition, Toyota also has different models that cater to other reasons people want to buy a car, like taking care of dogs and cats, going grocery shopping with ease, or performing other day-to-day tasks that require more flexibility to accomplish differently while keeping your hands free.

Toyota Raize 2022 Review: Exterior

Great products can come from ambitious projects. The all-new Toyota Raize certainly looks the part of a global crossover with Toyota Raize ground clearance of 200mm and bold front grille. People could mistake it for a RAV IV or any number of SUVs on the road these days.

But this is where you'd be wrong since the all-new Raize is designed very well with the size of 4,030mm for the length, 1,710 mm for the width, and 1,605 for the height. Also, with some help from a paint job adds a touch of flair by way of a two-tone design. 

To top things off, Toyota adds even more pizazz to catch the eye, including some exciting lighting effects in their most extensive trims. Great work here from Toyota!

Toyota Raize 2022 Review: Interior

The Raize's curb weight is by far the lightest among its rivals, clearly visible in how petite the car looks overall. And this translated to rather cramped seating plus relatively limited legroom for taller individuals. 

As a result of outfitting it with this lighter motor, model size, and small 12-inch wheels, cargo space is limited. Therefore for anyone regularly traveling around with five people in tow, there isn't enough cabin space and luggage room in the trunk department to make traveling cumbersome.

An eye-catching feature of the car is its lavish use of soft leather instead of the black piano combination most carmakers seem to be going for. 

While this design decision seems unfair given the vehicle's price tag, we're glad Toyota was generous enough to provide a heavy makeover with natural materials such as real leather and rich fabrics that make up part of the fabric seat coverings.

The seats, in particular, will surely come to life with long journeys as they are cushioned by thick, soft fabric covers.

Sometimes, a cup holder positioned right by the AC vent is much more convenient if you're going to spend most of your journey with something hot (like soup). When used as designed, it offers one spot for your hot beverage and another directly in front of your fingers for a cold beverage.

Toyota Raize 2022 Review: Safety 

Entering the crossover segment offers an affordable yet sturdy option in the all-new Toyota Raize 2022 with ample safety and security features bundled onto it. However, the base model foregoes some unimportant tech perks like the smart keyless for door panels that serve as both handles and locks.

The Raize comes with ABS, dual airbags, seatbelt reminder, and VSC. These will protect you in the event of a collision or sudden stop - that's pretty much a given in almost every car these days. 

While safety is paramount in cars, I was surprised to see other features such as parking sensors and rear cameras in this small car, even though they add to the price, of course. 

Despite their size, the limited visibility through the glasshouse, for example, is enhanced via the rear camera along with guidelines, which are cleverly placed on top of the tail lamps to ensure you park straight instead of reversing into something! 

Hence Toyota Raize off-road with family is what you must want to experience.

Toyota Raize 2022 Review: Power

The Toyota Raize uses a one-liter 3-cylinder to achieve 97 hp and 140 Nm of torque. Although that might not sound like much, keep in mind that this Toyota car is a tiny car that weighs around 1040 kgs.

With one person on board, you can quickly reach Toyota Raize top speed. 

However, you can imagine how much power would be lost at higher speeds when driving in a non-powered environment where there's no motorized assistance. 

That being said, the Raize is great for short local commutes when you would otherwise be stuck in Manila's notorious traffic if it were not for this nifty Eco car.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Great design
  • Strong engine
  • Great safety function

Cons

  • Not smooth drive for car lovers
  • Not really fuel consumption effective

Toyota Raize 2022 Verdict

With this writing on Toyota Raize 2022 review, it is clear to see that Toyota has made its mark on the Philippine market again with this new crossover that focuses on artsy styling and driving performance, all at an affordable price. 

Now imagine if you could get more space, but it still had the same charm and a similar price - how great would that be?
