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.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Why is it by having national cars, it cost more than countries without national cars? Same with EV emas 5.
because the local graduates from mara/mrsm/uitm/uuim demand high salary to design badge and grill
P1 and P2 are non-relevant to average malaysians now. They used to create cheaper versions of the rebadged cars so we can afford them. But nowadays, P1 and P2 are selling more expensive than the original car. Makes zero sense to have P1 and P2, except for “pride”. We are a laughing stock to our neighbours, really.
also dont forget because P1 and P2, malaysians are forced to buy imported cars at ridiculous prices. “protect local carmaker” excuse. sampah betul.
Typical Toyota and Perodua, with ugly Rempit taste body kit.
because buyers wanted it. these “rempit” kits increase sales, meaning buyers will buy them. So who cares if they are ugly. Money and sales is what matters.
If malaysia ativa got 1.5NA with normal reverse camera, 2 airbags, freed from eco idle and 0 adas under rm60k, i would happily buy.
Basically it just Ativa with GR badge .
Toyota – Daihatstu – Perodua loves to milk this model.
you forgot to include Subaru (Rex) which is also this same car!
