Rebadged from the Daihatsu Rocky, the Toyota Raize has been doing well in its home market of Japan, where it actually actually went on sale before the equivalent Daihatsu. So well, in fact, it has outsold the Toyota Corolla in Japan, according to a report by Best Car Web via AutonetMagz.
In Japan, the Raize has charted sales of 10,220 units in Japan for the month of January, which follows the 9,117 units sold in December and 7,484 units sold in November, demonstrating a steady growth in deliveries for the compact SUV.
The monthly sales target set out for the Raize was in fact a much more modest 4,000 units, which means that the sales volume it has achieved so far has surpassed the target for six months, the report noted. Compared to the Raize, the Toyota Corolla managed to shift just 8,480 units in the month of January, or nearly 2,000 units less than what the compact SUV managed in that month.
The strong demand for the Toyota Raize has seen Daihatsu’s production plant in Ikeda operating at full capacity, where both the Raize and the Rocky are produced. The wait list for customers who have placed their orders for the compact SUVs currently stands at approximately four months, in other words a mid-July delivery is esimated for customer who confirm their orders today.
The Toyota Raize went on sale in Japan last November with prices starting from 1,679,000 yen (RM64,000), and ranges up to 2,282,200 yen (RM87,000). The Raize is powered by a 1.0 litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine with 98 PS at 6,000 rpm and 140 Nm of torque from 2,400 rpm to 4,000 rpm, paired to a D-CVT.
The Raize is built on the Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA), featuring monocoque construction with a MacPherson strut front and torsion beam rear suspension setup. In Japan, the Raize received the TRD range of accessories shortly after its launch, and the Modellista range of kits was also announced at the same time.

The might of Perodua Rocky SUV, perghhh hebat!
Umw toyota will bring this raize in after they learned it can top the corolla.

The Perception in Malaysia now ( power to size ratio), in this case a little 1.0 litre turbocharged engine, which is less than 1.5L with that kind of body (tall size) SUV is highly unfavourable.
Local buyers, always feel that the engine is small but the body is big. They should go and studying that perception on the ground survey and their competitors first before a go ahead approval.
That engine output looks similar to a modern 1.4L non turbo engine. I think its good enough especially if it is meant to replace the Kembara which has only a 1.3L engine.
The only concern is the refinement from the 3 cylinder engine.
Volkswagen taught us that small displacement engines doesn’t meant no power especially if its turbocharged.
I guess even the Japanese prefer a tall vehicle even though their roads are silky smooth unlike here we require SUVs to overcome floods and road conditions akin to a war torn country.
Yup, using the MRR2 daily is slowly making me daydream about getting a Hilux or Fortuner to deal with the 3rd world road conditions.
come here, UMW sure will change it’s head units to at least 5 inches bezel that total ruin the whole car’s interior design..lolzz
watta an ugly car
take a look at the geely persona
Not coming here becoz we’re got crappy ASEAN spec Rush/Aruz. Japan cars don’t come here anymore thanks to greedy & stingy Japanese bosses that don’t think we deserve their better cars.
Alza was a rebadged JDM Passo Sette, yet it was sold here. Your point?
How old was Azla again?
I look forward to having a Perodua version as my second ride, hope they name it “Kembara”.
First thing I would do is swap out the OEM player with something that supports Apple Carplay/Android Auto.
Soon Perodua SUV salesmen will say, hey it’s a Toyota with a daihatsu badge
Those would be the lousy salesmen. The good ones will point out that P2 had a hand in the original design of the Rocky and Raize.
Raise and rocky are manufactured in DAIHATSU Shiga plant. Ikeda manufacture Thor/Tank and Passo/Boon.
Perhaps some research before writing?
New Myvi SUV
Habislah proton if perodua masuk this nextime.
Habislah x50 x70!
Ya, both habis jual and waitlist 4 months
The debut of Toyota Raize sister_P2 SUV P55 is nothing extraordinary to begin with. The best powertrains they can offer is 1.0L Turbo engine and CVT gearbox, it will not have a big impact or good perception on the local market. Even if does, it will slowly eating into Myvi-Aruz sale.
Across the river, a blow-up going to explode, the new golden kid in town – the X50’s wave on this Sept-Oct alone will crush All sub $100,000 Non-national (NN) sedans & SUVs market.
Since early 2019, X50 has been the talks of the industry, reported by Automotive journalists, either in writing or video by YouTubers. They keeps comparing anything new in town to X50. The nonstop leaked photos of the camourfledged’s test unit also become a worthy of article. Things are looking bad for Non-National brands, as people will rather choose to wait, save more in advance for a enough or bigger downpayment. Nothing similar or close In comparison to the X50. Without looking into the spec-sheet, the exterior and interior design alone already seal the deal. This is prolong by pre-existed active P1 fanclubs, Thousand of Proton owners looking to upgrade from a sedan to SUV. The X50 will grab and corner the sensitive 1st buyer market thats prefer high sitting position vehicle with an affordable budget to spend. These ongoing hype then continue-overboard as some group of curious fan did took a flight to Philipines and China last year to see it live, sit inside the cabin and go for a test drive – the left hand drive version of X50
ko taip panjang panjang pun tak guna.
Abang DK! Why today ketiba2an emotional seperti ni, biasa cool sahaja dlm articles sebelum ini.
Why you’re not using your another dupe’s username to reply here?
btw I guess, this long essay is trying very hard not be originated from the regular opposing group here but the mission seems very similar, lol
Perodua can just use the same myvi engine to push the price lower,
Price shubbe between myvi and aruz
This SUV comes here as Perodua, the X70 will lingkup completely.
People trust Japanese engines like Toyota which is sold in 200 over countries as opposed to China engines that cannot be sold in any First World country
But why Toyota don’t trust their own engines when they use BMW engine for their Supra?
Proton X70 CKD sales already drop a lot because buyers want the CBU car.
CKD car, only RM3k cheaper but lower quality – rakyat don’t want.
Habislah proton!
You’re aware that the Toyota Raize is much smaller than a X70?
Anyway, I like your deep-rooted cultural servility to everything Japanese… ;)
It’s coming soon. Don’t worry, perodua D55L or something like that.
So this and the Aruz will knock down proton onto its back
Ya, only lingkup completely people buy the rebadge Raize.
Soon P2 will be 6X sales of Proton when this becomes are P2 car.
Habis lah China made X70

depends on the price. direct fight with binyue. tight price range available for this car to succeed. perhaps if priced similarly to or slightly lower than aruz can make money. wont steal each other’s market share as both in different segments. this car looks cheaper than binyue so people wont buy it unless it’s offered as an alternative to binyue.
If this year Perodua sales cannot beat 6X sales more than Proton as you said, u r 6X stupid. Muahahaha…
Bring this baby in and you will see Geely sales waterfall in Malaysia
One lonely Dupe talks to another lonely Dupes, desperate for the attention right?
Bring this in. Perodua D55L, Proton X50 both will take over sub RM100k Segment.
bye bye outdated Honda City, Jazz, no Blind Spot Monitor, no AEB cars.
Fuh,mantap ni. Price will be between myvi n aruz.
Can’t wait P2 bring this in and compete with upcoming X50, it will be fierce sales fight. P2 have a massive trust from MY buyers and attractive pricing, that will surely secure their sales. But X50 may come with much classy interior and more matured looking exterior, also 1.5L turbo that may come along.
All I can see here is the same troll commenting through his various dupes. How pathetic!
Bro. He needs to earn his keep as a troller since PH can no longer pay his salary anymore so he is getting desperate for any troll jobs.
U mean example same trolls like urself ka? Lols. Wat u saying are more saying abt urself the same trolls haha.
Siapa makan cili dia terasa pedas. Kek
Corolla is the best selling nameplate in the world. But that’s because it has been one of the longest around. Corolla was not always been the best selling car in Japan.. Not for the last 10-15 years. That can be either a Honda Jazz, Toyota Prius, Toyota Aqua or Honda N box kei car.
So this news is actually – hardly surprising.
dari toyota nampak gah…cun melecun…dah rebadged jadi perodua tiba2 jadi tin milo…tutup pintu pon bunyi ‘kepek’…mcm saga flx model 2012…x paham aku…nak untung kaw2 sampai quality n safety dikorbankan…dah tengok aruz dulu…quality cap ayam…no thanks…walaupun minat perodua tapi x70 quality lebih solid…
merely because of the price, function wise, corolla all the way.
HRV killer..
Haval H1 killer only, the size of Raize and H1 almost same. HRV size much more bigger.
HR-V 4334mm Long; 1772mm Wide; 1605mm Height
Raize 3995mm Long; 1695mm Wide; 1620mm Height
H1 3961mm Long; 1728mm Wide; 1617mm Height.
