NEW TOYOTA RAIZE: The Entry-Level SUV That Is Missing In Brazil
Toyota’s Mini SUV Stands Out For Its Elegant And Sophisticated Design
The new compact from Toyota stands out for its elegant and sophisticated design. With fluid lines and balanced proportions, the vehicle conveys an image of modernity and refinement. The front features a wide and imposing grille, while the LED headlights give it a technological and attractive look. The sides present a dynamic silhouette, with creases and reliefs that add personality to the whole.
At the rear, the highlight is the LED taillights, which bring a modern and engaging light signature. The wheelset, with options of 16 or 17-inch rims, complements the sporty and sophisticated look of Toyota’s new compact.
Spacious And Technological Interior
Upon entering Toyota’s new compact, the driver and passengers are welcomed by a spacious and cozy interior. The seats offer comfort and support, with options for fabric or leather upholstery, depending on the chosen version.
The instrument panel is modern and easy to read, with a digital screen that displays all essential information. The infotainment system, with a touch screen of up to 9 inches, features an intuitive interface rich in functionalities, such as smartphone connectivity, GPS navigation, and audio control.
Another highlight of the interior is the generous space for occupants, both in the front and rear. The trunk also impresses, with a cargo capacity superior to many competitors in the segment. Yaris Cross
The New Mini SUV From Toyota Is Equipped With Efficient And Powerful Engine Options
Under the hood, the new mini SUV from Toyota is equipped with efficient and powerful engine options. Consumers will be able to choose between gasoline or hybrid engines, both offering great performance and low fuel consumption. Yaris Cross
The gasoline versions feature a 1.5-liter, 1.0 turbo three-cylinder engine that delivers a good combination of power and economy. With up to 98 horsepower and 14.3 kgfm of torque, combined with either a six-speed manual transmission or a CVT automatic, the Raize ensures an agile and economical driving experience. Yaris Cross
Representatives from Toyota indicated that the hybrid variant of the new SUV will come equipped with a combustion engine manufactured at the Porto Feliz (SP) facility. This 1.5 flex aspirated engine, with a power of 110 hp and torque of 14.9 kgfm, will be used in both combustion versions with automatic CVT and in the hybrid versions, where the 1.5 engine functions as a generator to power an electric motor. Excess energy will be stored in a small battery set.
The New Mini SUV From Toyota Promises An Impressive Consumption Of 28 Km/L.
The e-Smart system, which will debut in Brazil with this model, uses the combustion engine as the main generator for the electric motor, providing smooth driving and immediate torque characteristic of electric vehicles. Additionally, the system includes a one-pedal function, which allows the car to fully brake just with the regeneration of the electric motor, achieving an impressive consumption of 28 km/l. Yaris Cross
Initially implemented in the Toyota Raize in 2021 with a 1.2-liter gasoline engine capable of generating 106 hp and 17.3 kgfm, this system has been improved with the use of the 1.5 flex engine in Brazil. This evolution will also be adopted by the Thai models and, in 2025, it will be extended to the new generation of the Yaris hatch and sedan, marking its debut in the Brazilian market.
Regardless of the chosen option, Toyota’s new compact stands out for its agile and comfortable handling. The well-tuned chassis and refined suspension ensure a safe and enjoyable performance, both on urban routes and on roads.
Cutting-Edge Technology And Safety
In addition to its attractive design and efficient performance, Toyota’s new compact comes equipped with a range of advanced technologies. The safety package includes features such as airbags, an automatic emergency braking system, lane departure warning, stability control, and much more.
In terms of connectivity, the vehicle offers integration with smartphones, allowing the driver to access favorite applications directly on the car’s screen. Additionally, the GPS navigation system and audio control with voice recognition make the driving experience even more intuitive and enjoyable.
Toyota Raize: When Will It Arrive In Brazil?
The launch of the Toyota Raize is still in the planning phase, with no official confirmation about its arrival in the Brazilian market – unlike the Yaris Cross, which already has guaranteed production in the country.
Hope increases to have this desired model in Brazil, since it is already available in Mexico for approximately 333,900 pesos. This amounts to about 89 thousand reais in direct conversion. It is prudent to anticipate that if launched, its price will be significantly higher, reflecting the high taxes and operational costs typical in Brazil.
However, the introduction of this SUV in the national territory would be a strategic move to compete with popular appealing models. Yaris Cross
The Raize stands out as a substantially superior option to the Toyota Vitz, previously speculated for our market. It would certainly capture a prominent position in the national automotive scene if it were to be marketed. Thus, the expectation revolves around the official announcement and the innovations that the Raize promises to bring to the compact SUV segment in the country.
