Toyota Raize News & Updates

The Raize G Hybrid uses a 1,196cc three-cylinder petrol engine producing 82 PS and 105 Nm, supported by an electric drive motor. Acceleration from 0–100 km/h is approximately 10 seconds, depending on testing conditions. Braking hardware consists of ventilated discs at the front and drums at the rear, with ABS, EBD and Brake Assist. Toyota does not publish an official standard braking-distance figure for the model.

In real Bangladesh driving, a Toyota Raize G Hybrid can typically return around 18–22 km/L in city traffic, 22–26 km/L on highways and approximately 20–24 km/L combined. Heavy Dhaka congestion, frequent AC use, short trips, passenger load and aggressive acceleration can reduce these figures.

Yes, Raize is available in all 3 conditions mostly, so you can find your preferred condition within budget.

The main hybrid grades are G and Z. The G is suitable for buyers who want strong fuel economy, practical equipment, 16-inch wheels and a lower purchase price. The Z is aimed at buyers who want additional premium equipment, larger 17-inch wheels and a richer specification. Both use the 1.2-litre e-SMART hybrid system and FWD.

Yes. The 185mm ground clearance, compact dimensions, light weight and easy steering make the Raize particularly practical for Dhaka and other Bangladeshi cities. It can handle normal speed breakers, uneven urban roads and highway driving well, although deep potholes and badly broken roads still require care.

Yes. City driving is where the hybrid system makes the most sense. The electric motor provides smooth low-speed response, while the compact 3,995mm body makes parking and navigating narrow roads easier. In congested Dhaka traffic, the hybrid system can also reduce fuel consumption compared with many conventional petrol SUVs.

Yes, the Toyota Raize 1.2 is well suited to Bangladesh roads, with 180 mm of ground clearance and a SUV body that handles speed breakers and uneven road sections well.

Routine maintenance is generally manageable because the Raize uses a relatively small engine and Toyota parts are widely available. A normal oil and filter service can commonly fall around ৳5,000–8,000, depending on oil quality, filters and workshop. Allowing roughly ৳20,000–35,000 per year for routine servicing is reasonable for a healthy vehicle, while tyres, brakes, suspension work and hybrid-system repairs can add significantly to the cost

Check the hybrid battery condition, hybrid warning lights, engine operation, cooling system, transmission/hybrid drive behaviour, AC, suspension, brakes, tyres, steering, electrical equipment and underbody. Inspect the chassis carefully for accident repairs and flood damage. Verify auction documents, mileage and service history, and test the car in both slow traffic and open-road conditions.
