When Pandemic strikes, commuting around the Metro is such a pain in the, you know what I mean! As a result, a lot of “can afford” people tends to look beyond alternatives to report to work or to just visit a place to satisfy their cravings. Of course, one of the best alternative is to have your own car. Some we’re forced to purchase pre-owned, yet, some tend to buy brand new. Believe me, the feeling is quite greater purchasing brand new.
If you are in the market for a new car and a typical Sedan is somehow common for you, you’ll probably have to consider a Sub Compact Sports Utility Vehicle or simply, Sub-Com SUV. A sports utility vehicle or SUV is a car classification that combines elements of road-going passenger cars with features from off-road vehicles, such as raised ground clearance and four-wheel drive.
Hence, the Toyota Raize. The Raize is Toyota's entry-level 2-row subcompact SUV. The Japanese carmaker's new baby sports utility vehicle rides on an all-new DNGA platform developed with its subsidiary, Daihatsu. This SUV is quite small, it measures only around 4 meters, yet, optimizes interior space and cargo space within its small size. Raize seats 5 people, a driver with 4 passengers.
According to Toyota, RAIZE is a coined name of the English words "RISE" and "RAISE". RAIZE also means "An active car that excites your everyday life".
Raize has both CVT and Manual on its 1.2 engine and a CVT 1.0 Turbo engine.
Having a 1.0 engine might feel underpowered but according to those who test drive the unit, its Turbo will push you just enough kick as you try to accelerate or gain in speed to overtake or to go uphill.
Yes, Toyota Raize is one of the “Great Sight” on the road. Its colors surely captures one’s taste.
No wonder we will see more of these cruising the Metro.
Cheerio!
