I got the Toyota Raize recently as a second car, and honestly, it’s very practical. It’s compact, so parking in tight spots is easy, but inside it feels roomy enough for small family trips. The engine is 1.0 turbo, so don’t expect crazy power, but it handles city roads and highway cruising just fine. Fuel efficiency is excellent, I fill the tank and it lasts long even with daily Dubai traffic. The features are quite modern, good screen, rear camera, and safety features like lane assist. For me, Raize is about convenience. It’s affordable, easy to drive, and cheap to run.

The Toyota Raize is the perfect vehicle for driving in the city. The Raize is compact in size but still spacious inside. The ride is smooth, and the steering is light, which is very helpful on the roads. The touchscreen is the best companion to my phone. Toyota Raize is sleek, practical and dependable, ideal for the daily grind in the city. I appreciate that it's easy to maneuver in tight spaces but has sufficient room for passengers and shopping bags. It also makes sense for urban living.

The Raize compact SUV starting at AED 60,000 is one of the most attractive bargain for anyone looking for as his first car or an upgrade for an used one. The SUV has good efficient performance and can be used as a multitasker. In UAE Toyota is offering with two engine options the 1.2L 3-cylinder engine generating 87 hp and 113 Nm of torque, with a top speed of 160 km/h and 0-100 km/h acceleration in 12 seconds; and a 1.0L turbo engine producing 97 hp and 140 Nm of torque, reaching 170 km/h with a 10-second acceleration. Both engines use a CVT, ensuring smooth and economical urban driving.

A well designed, attractive looking, reasonably priced compact SUV, the Raize is Toyota’s most balanced SUV with the blend of power and performance. With the 1 litre turbocharged Petrol engine which is well tuned and refined, produces a good 97hp of power and 140 Nm of torque, and the CVT options makes its very good combination in the segment. In less than AED 65K, the Raize could be a good choice for a small family, and a daily driver for office or working place, and occasional gateway to longer trips.

At a price range of AED 55-60,000 AED, the Raize is the most affordable variant if you want to buy any new Toyota instead of a used one. The Raize has a lot to offer, including a good engine, well-built quality along with decent space in the cabin. The features aren’t that less, so overall it makes a lot of sense to anyone-a first time buyer, or someone on a tight budget, or just want a reliable car without spending much. Better option than a hatchback as you get higher ground clearance and ease of driving.
