Toyota has released a mild 2026 model year update for the Raize in Indonesia, despite the Perodua Ativa‘s twin remaining unchanged in its home market since its late-2019 debut. As expected, the tweaks are few and far between, with the biggest being a new bodykit for the range-topping GR Sport model.
Here, you get a new front lip spoiler with black inserts that “extend” the front and faux corner air inlets, leading to an almost drooping effect. The same is true for the diffuser-like rear skirt with cutouts for the reflectors. There’s also new black-to-red gradient stickers aft of the rear quarter windows, but the side skirts and 17-inch black turbine-style alloy wheels are carried over.
Inside, all models get black headlining, with the GR Sport model also gaining a GR badge on the bottom spoke of the steering wheel. Also standard fitment is a new nine-inch touchscreen head unit, now offering Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Beyond that, the Raize remains unchanged, offering the same engine options – an 86 PS/113 Nm 1.2 litre WA-VE naturally-aspirated four-cylinder and a 98 PS/140 Nm 1.0 litre 1KR-VET turbo three-pot (the latter is shared with the Ativa), mated to either a five-speed manual gearbox or Daihatsu’s Dual-mode CVT (D-CVT). The GR Sport is exclusively available with the 1.0 litre turbo and D-CVT combo.
Standard equipment includes LED lighting, keyless entry, push-button start, manual fabric seats with red trim, digital air-con controls and 16-inch silver alloy wheels, with the 1.0T G adding 17-inch two-tone alloys. Aside from the exterior addenda, the GR Sport gains part-leather upholstery and auto air con.
Safety-wise, the Raize comes as standard with only two airbags, with six airbags and a suite of driver assists (autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, front departure alert and pedal misapplication control) offered as an option on the GR Sport. This brings the car up to parity with the Ativa, which has most of these features as standard.
Prices have gone up quite a bit since the Raize’s 2021 Indonesian launch, ranging from 243,500,000 rupiah (RM58,200) to 292,100,000 rupiah (RM69,800). Still, the drop in the rupiah does mean that the car now undercuts the (admittedly much higher-specced) Ativa, which retails between RM62,500 and RM73,400.
