Bought the turbo a month ago. To those contemplating on buying, I can really say it is money well spent. If you can stretch your budget a little bit then do your self a favor and go for the turbo. I would like to add that the driver's seat on the turbo can be height adjusted (manually) and there is the power mode and sport mode("manual") for the turbo, both of which performs a bit differently from just using the automatic drive mode. I have tried all modes on a long ride with long and some extremely inclined uphill climbs (4 passengers including driver) and the car performed beyond my expectations, no hesitation at all. The turbo unit doesn't necessarily turn on all the time so the car can essentially be driven as if it was only a 1.0L but almost has the power of a 1.5L engine available when needed. Great review as always.

[@binSs18]

Full pasengers onboard po?

[@jsantos4384]

@@binSs18Me as driver, 1 adult at front passenger side, 1 adult and 1 child (8y.o.) at the rear seats. No heavy or significant cargo onboard. Not necessarily at full capacity. I have tried carrying 4 adults at the rear and 1 adult at the front at city driving conditions and personally I have not noticed any sharp drop in performance to really say that the car struggled. There was more than enough power available when needed.

[@cgRui34]

Nice comparo between the 1.0 turbo and 1.2 G. Hopefully the 1.2 E manual transmission gets some love too

[@theguardian3431]

Great video! You guys are definitely my favorite when it comes to car reviews!

[@jerwininumerable177]

Quality content! Please do consider doing comparo with the manual variant as well. That’s the literal bang for the buck.

[@adamcosio636]

Good comparo!!! Thank you for being transparent and true feedback of the cars. Hoping that it will also have a comparo on it's competitors

[@noel54]

definitely one of the best and detailed review on the Raize G and Turbo variant. No sugarcoating added and is very honest on the performance of the car. I'd still go for Turbo even with that price diff.

[@BryanPatiag]

Jack should be included in more videos! Rapport is really great bantering with Caco. Awesome job, guys!

[@MiggyMndza]

Ngl, Caco already nailed the review from the start 😆 On a more serious note, this is one hell of a detailed review. There is much more commentary which some would hate but I absolutely love, made the review feel more natural. How Caco really tested the two vehicles is commendable, the effort the whole team, Jack and the others included. Again, showed the pros and definitely the honest cons that most people and reviews hide away from the public. Another job well and spectacularly done by the AD team, no doubt the channel I trust the most as of this moment.

[@leomanalili7179]

Definitely if not the best, this is one of the best car review yet, sir Caco once again😎, hats off to you and your team. This is one hell of a review, thanks Morpheus ang Neo😅

Awesome review as always. I just notice that AD doesn't feature MT or any base model. I hope they feature some in the future because there is a market for manual and base models too.

[@Salman-el6kt]

Hi from UAE (Abu Dhabi) I have learned a lot about this car compared to any other videos thanks alot

[@artcast5576]

Oh I just feel more relieved after seeing this comparison review as I just purchased the 1.2 G CVT variant. I am so amazed of the features and the ride is for me really great!

[@jopaycutie2713]

Hi Sir. Can you give feedback regarding your Raize experience so far? 😊 Planning to buy the G version too.

[@Stetsonhatman]

I will be commuting from the city to our farm and a small portion of our commute will be on a questionably managed gravel road. I wanted the larger R17 tires and higher ground clearance of the Raize (8 in) to deal with imperfect roads. Also we have limited space for parking in the city so a Conquest 4 x 4 was not a consideration. So the Raize is a good compromise for us and ~ 1M was my max budget. My wife and I really liked the additional safety features that come with the turbo (BSM, RCTA, rear passenger airbags). She usually challenges me for every peso and I was expecting her to insist on the cheapest model but she was all in on the more expensive turbo. They only have a yellow turbo on the floor now but I expect to order Turquoise blue turbo this week. Edit: I agree with the author that it would have noteworthy to have rear passenger vents for aircon - this is the Philippines. Our tester forgot to use his paddle-shifters and manually shift on steep slopes 😁

[@ANMAR1983]

I choose the G variant because of this detailed review..thanks caco👍👍

[@katrinatanchoco6777]

Hi, Could I suggest when you make these reviews and comparisons to also include and make prominent the safety features e.g. 3point seat belts, airbags, etc? That on top of exterior/interior looks, engine performance, fuel efficiency, passenger & cargo space (balik bayan boxes), interior noise cancellation and ground clearance would be FANTASTIC! Thank you.

[@chezbaltazar]

I like it when caco and jack are having a dialogue.. please give him a lapel too! 🤣 looking forward for more reviews and discussions from this team! More power autodeal!

[@CustomGorillaxMotorBradix]

Twas great that your able to test the CVT in a steep incline road. But still I'll go for a traditional automatic or a manual for good pickup in that situation and as always it was a great review.

[@kobayashiharuno]

except for the Wigo, halos lahat ng 5 seater small/medium passenger vehicles ng Toyota ay naka optional na CVT so,,, either pick an alternative sa Raize or deal with it, i guess.

[@gentlemaninthecomments.4661]

Set it to manual since the cvt has a 7th gear..

[@andrewlauchengco7923]

Yeah. If we stick to what the cars were originally designed for, the NA version is the more appropriate fit. Personally, I would go Turbo if I'm a person who travels in and out of Manila via tollway or skyway. But if you live within Metro Manila and travel mostly within it, the NA would be more beneficial because of fuel economy.

[@zimben8]

Oh , this is not the facelift model ? I think the new one has different center console with electric handbrake and Auto Hold, right ? Great video. I like your style in presenting.

[@deadend7347]

It’s a bit suprising uphill performance given that sir Caco was not able to showcase if he did it while it was on eco or power mode. Fire content as always sir Caco! 🔥

[@zbraganza]

Quality content again Still on the fence if i should get this due to engine vibration and the lack of left foot rest

[@prskamini]

Nice review . Much love from Kenya

[@usamalhr]

I bought the turbo variant of daihatsu rocky. Here in Pakistan the turbo is definitely worth spending extra money on because there is an yearly tax on engines above 1L capacity. Love the car and all its features.

[@jeffrey6124]

Great review as always 👏👏👏 ... new thing to consider in car reviews are real world scenarios like including the number of possible passengers that would fit and ride with you and testing the car's capabilities to make it a little more realistic than the usual👍 looking forward to having a "good relationship with the road" too 😁

[@vincelumaban3412]

Based sa website review cvt tames down the engine and needs momentum. We have m/t variant and ang ganda ng acceleration niya. Dumadamba pa kapag diniin mo napakadali mag overtake and mag pick up ng speed. We installed stiff rings, spring dampers, struts and anti roll bars, napaka steady niya kahit high speeds. Ako na yung natatakot kahit alam ko na kaya pa niya isagad.

[@diestage2026]

Great video and more so a great review and comparo! Kudos to you guys, more particularly, Caco! Very nice! One question though (I don't think you've mentioned and conscious of), did you use the Raize's "S" (from the manual, they termed it Slope - NOT Sports) mode with the "Power" button on the steering wheels?

[@abisaiamatalo2769]

Nice comparo. I think uphill drive is a non-issue, even if its fully loaded. Driven Suzuki Celerio gen2 CVT in steep roads (Baguio asin road, Ifugao via Dalton Pass, Tanay windmills, Infanta via Marilaque, Subic via Morong Bataan, Revpal in Laguna-Tagaytay and Davilan in Carmona) fully loaded (2 adults, 2 teens and bike rack mounted) and full blast AC. No issues encountered. Took a while to gain momentum after stopping on the steep part but no slouch naman.

Na dagdag pogi points or ganda points narin As for the latter the red ♥️ pill (the G) duon,.Sa wheels niya ay muhkang basic narin So yeah,.I'm definitely! Going for the blue 💙 pill 👍😉👍

[@gabydeleon99720]

The N/A Raize variants uses body coloured roof. The one featured in the video is customized to have a 2 tone roof colour😁

An added option as said by a friend who works for the brand. I prefer a monotone color, tho how I wish we had more color options.

[@gregsantos9731]

Oh yes, it's worth it, why? It's because of its Apple CarPlay and Android capability whereToyota Rush have not and given the fact na Toyota pa. Nice complete review 😊

[@dino_russ]

Raize turbo has blackout roof but the raize g doesn't. Thats obviously wrap because the roof of the raize g is body color

[@jazelmarie]

You should test the hill start along Little Baguio in San Juan or along Old Wack Wack Road going to Shaw. That’s a tricky hill because there’s a traffic light before you cross Shaw.

The turbo is extremely powerful and more popular, we had this in Malaysia 🇲🇾 called perodua Ativa

[@ericindar]

Hey, Caco and Friends. We own a white Raize Turbo (the "White Rabbit"). We only ever considered the Turbo... for all the reasons you state. We agree with most of your points, but have a few extra's, based on our 3 months experience to date. First, traffic in the city is soo slooow, you won't need the turbo or the paddle shifters. The G series should do fine. Second, having driven something like 700 km in the mountains of Northern Luzon, anyone who has to drive in hills or mountains can definitely use the turbo. Our mountain routes included Pagudpud to Tabuk (inside road, not via Tuguegarao), Tabuk to Sagada, Sagada to Banaue, Banaue to Baguio and the Kennon Road route on the way back to Metro Manila. Endless slopes, up and down. Endless tight and hairpin curves. Here is where the turbo shone. Using the "S" (Slope) mode, the turbo kicked-in and the Raize roared up the hill climbs. Add the Power button and it was pretty easy to pass in zones of 100m or less. Handling on all those hundreds of curves felt agile and capable (I've never driven a Porsche). The short wheel base helped to stick in our lane on tight turns. I didn't find the paddle shifters useful at all. I tried them in the flats of Pangasinan, shifting down for extra power to pass all those mosquitoes (trikes). Just okay... but you have to pay attention to your gears. In the mountains, because of all the curves, the paddles could be at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock. Your hands are never where the paddles are. On the subject of fuel consumption: the Raize will tell you your consumption on the display. We live on the edge of MM with just one road in to "civilization". And that road sucks. We get just 7.5 km per liter. I haven't done the calculations on our road trip, but there's no way we got the 20+ km per liter Toyota claims. That said, we trust it's better than almost all competitors above tiny urban sedans. Again, thanks for the reviews.

[@josephlawrence7635]

Hey man, I'm also looking to get the Turbo Variant, I am worried about the complaints about Vibration and Cheap interior. How's it going for you so far?

[@ericindar]

@@josephlawrence7635 The vibration is a non-issue. It may be true that 3-cylinder engines aren't as smooth as engines with an even number of cylinders, but I don't notice it at all. The interior is not filled with luxury materials. Lots of plastic to be sure. But I haven't experienced any rattling parts or rough edges. I'd rather Toyota put money into mechanics than leather. For example, I would have liked disc brakes on the rear, instead of drums.

[@josephlawrence7635]

​@@ericindar Hey man, I got mine in full white :). I do feel the vibrations when idling, but not too bothersome. What I found out is the transmission does feel like a common CVT. I read somewhere that it uses D-CVT and has a real first gear. However, unlike the traditional M/T and A/T, it does not respond immediately when you floor it. What is interesting, is if I step on it slowly as I properly should, it's even faster to respond. haha It's definitely an interesting looking car, and it's really smooth on the road. The square front take some getting used to since I came from a car with a more circular front.

[@ericindar]

@@josephlawrence7635 Glad you pulled the trigger on the Raize Turbo. Odd that you find it slow to accelerate when you floor it. In the months I've been driving the turbo, I don't feel much lag at all. Put a trike in front of me and I'm around him in a flash. I like the "baby SUV" look... that's one of the reasons I bought a Raize. Anyway, try to get out to the mountains nearest you. Turbo, "S" mode, PWR button, tight turning radius. It's loads of fun.

[@Ranranranranranran]

Thank you for this comment, my mom prefers a Geely Coolray (I tested it, it is indeed powerful and smooth but i’m worried about the DCT when problems arise) but I’m trying to convince her to get a Raize turbo (haven’t tested this yet, but I trust Toyota and parts are easy to find) although I’m worried about the commonly stated comment about the delay of acceleration and whether it could easily speed up at mountains and steep inclines as we live near mountains. Ive been driving a Mazda BT-50 for 3 years now and has went through 100k km mileage. I drive daily and I really love my pick up - it’s already like my home but I’m considering a much more fuel-efficient one.. and a more compact one so that my mom can easily move around.
