0-liter engine and CVT transmission as its predecessors. While Gazoo Racing has evolved into a standalone brand within Toyota, it continues to offer GR Sport variations for more mainstream models.
The Raize, a budget-friendly subcompact SUV targeted at Southeast Asian markets, shares its platform and design with the Daihatsu Rocky and Subaru Rex, reflecting the ongoing collaboration among these brands. This latest GR Sport variant comes shortly after the Daihatsu Rocky received a refresh, including a new grille and updated bumpers.
The cosmetic changes to the Raize serve as a temporary update in lieu of a more significant mid-cycle refresh. The GR Sport package enhances the SUV's aesthetics with a revised front bumper featuring a pronounced chin and an integrated skid plate, along with 17-inch black-finished wheels and subtle decals on the C-pillar.
The rear showcases a GR Sport badge and a bumper extension with a small diffuser. Optional features include carbon-look mirror caps, side visors, protective door handle covers, and side moldings.
Inside, the Raize GR Sport boasts black upholstery with contrast stitching and a matching black headliner. Key equipment includes a 9-inch infotainment screen, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, and a comprehensive suite of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).
Despite its sporty appearance, the vehicle's performance remains modest, as the same engine and transmission options are carried over from earlier models, leaving enthusiasts wanting more power and engagement from this sporty SUV.
