Fuel economy is strong for a compact turbo SUV. Official WLTC figures for the original 1.0-litre turbo sit at 18.6 km/L for 2WD and 17.4 km/L for 4WD. Later 1.2-litre and series-hybrid versions improve on that, with the hybrid reaching 28.0 km/L. The 36-litre tank suits mixed city and highway use.
Servicing follows a straightforward schedule. Light oil and filter changes come every 5,000 km or six months. Major items such as brake fluid, coolant, plugs and CVT fluid fall at 40,000 km and 80,000 km intervals. The turbo engine oil change is guided by the onboard reminder with a six-month backstop.
Safety equipment centres on Smart Assist. It brings crash-avoidance braking that detects vehicles and pedestrians, lane departure alert with steering support, adaptive cruise on higher grades and erroneous-start prevention. Most markets list six airbags plus VSC, ABS with EBD and hill-start assist as standard. Japanese JNCAP rates the car five stars for collision performance. Latin NCAP scores the basic two-airbag export version at one star.
Living with the Raize is simple. The light body and compact size keep running costs low. Regular oil changes protect the turbo or hybrid systems. The dual-level cargo floor and 60/40 split rear seats make everyday loading easy. Stick to the published intervals and the car stays reliable for city and light leisure use.
