Toyota is expected to release the “ Rise Base ,” which is based on the “ Rise, ” around December 2024. Due to the larger body size, there is a high possibility that it will have three rows of seats for seven people. The exterior design has been changed from the regular model “Rise”, making it wilder and larger, which is likely to make it a popular model. On December 12, 2022, we applied for “RAIZE SPACE ” ( commercial application 2022-141247 ) to the Japanese Patent Office .

About Toyota New Rise
Rise is a small crossover SUV sold by Toyota Motor Corporation. It is a compact SUV with a 5-number size. The exterior features a strong and bold design that follows the tradition of Toyota SUVs and the outdoor-oriented design used in the new RAV4 . The platform uses Daihatsu’s DNGA platform . This is the second DNGA, following the new Tanto . “LED front sequential turn lamp (flowing turn signal)” is adopted in the higher grade “X”.
It has a total length of 3,995mm, width of 1,695mm, and height of 1,620mm, making it a 5-number vehicle. Adopts large diameter 17-inch tires or 16-inch tires. The minimum turning radius was set at 4.9 to 5.0 m. Furthermore, Dynamic Torque Control 4WD is adopted. Since Daihatsu is in charge of design, development, and production, it uses advanced technology called ” Next Generation Smart Assist .”
The meter features a 7-inch full LCD display “Active Multi-Information Meter”. Adopts “9-inch display audio” exclusively for Rise. Apps compatible with SmartDeviceLink and Apple CarPlay can be operated on the display.
The luggage compartment capacity is 369L. “Smart Assist III” is equipped with two cameras. Furthermore, it is equipped with “Next Generation Smart Assist,” which adds functions such as “ACC with all-vehicle speed tracking function” (optional only on higher grades). Adopts a stereo camera, supports pedestrians, and has a wider operating speed range than before. “Safety Support Car S (Wide)” (Support Car S (Wide) applicable vehicles.
A new hybrid grade will be added to the “Rise” and released around November 2021 . Since the hybrid system will be supplied by Toyota, the hybrid system installed in the new Yaris is likely to use the new generation “Inline 3-cylinder 1.5L direct injection dynamic force engine M15A type” and the new downsized THS II. . There are no problems with the overall quality and it can be adopted. In the case of “Yaris”, by installing this engine, it achieves an amazing fuel efficiency of 36.0 to 35.4 km/L (2WD) in WLCT mode, but in the case of “Rise”, the vehicle weight is heavier than “Yaris” Therefore, WLCT mode fuel consumption will be about 30.0km/L.
Toyota will make some improvements (minor changes) to the new “Rise” and add a new hybrid grade ” e-SMART HYBRID ” to the market on November 1, 2021. In addition, a hybrid model will be released for the OEM car, Daihatsu’s new Rocky .

About the new Rise Hybrid
The hybrid system uses ” e-SMART HYBRID .” Equipped with a newly developed 1.2L straight 3-cylinder engine (WA-VEX) + motor . This engine has a long stroke and a ” high tumble straight port ” that achieves highly efficient and fast combustion, achieving high thermal efficiency of up to 40%. The engine is for power generation only . A series hybrid system is adopted that uses this electric power to run 100% by motor. WLCT mode fuel efficiency is astounding 28.0 km/L (2WD), compared to the 1.0L straight 3-cylinder turbo engine, WLCT mode fuel consumption is 18.6 km/L, so the fuel efficiency is perfect by installing a hybrid engine. Dew. Furthermore, he is capable of running in the 1.5L engine class. Set the driving mode ” Smart Pedal (S-PDL)”. Optimal placement of sound insulation and vibration damping materials throughout the body reduces road noise and wind noise. The gasoline model uses a newly developed 1.2L straight 3-cylinder engine (WA-VE) for 2WD, achieving low fuel consumption of 20.7km/L in WLTC mode , while the 4WD model uses the conventional 1.0L straight 3-cylinder turbo engine. was adopted. The top grade “Z” and hybrid vehicles are equipped with “ electric parking brake ” and “ auto brake hold .” The preventive safety function “Smart Assist” is now standard on all models, and collision warning and collision avoidance support functions that enable the detection of pedestrians at night, as well as sign recognition functions (no entry/maximum speed/temporary stop) have been added.

About the new Rise hybrid system “e-SMART HYBRID”
- Adopts Daihatsu’s “DNGA platform”
- Adopts hybrid system “e-SMART HYBRID”
The “e-SMART HYBRID” system consists of a newly developed “1.2L straight 3-cylinder engine (WA-VEX) + motor,” and the engine is dedicated to power generation. A series hybrid system is adopted that uses this electric power to run 100% by motor. Achieves a simple structure and compact size with a small displacement. This hybrid system is strong at low and medium speeds and is suitable for small cars that are often used around town. WLCT mode fuel efficiency is 28.0km/L (2WD), which is an amazing fuel efficiency.
The power generation engine uses a 1.2L straight 3-cylinder engine (WA-VEX) with maximum output of 60kW (82ps)/5,600rpm and 105Nm (10.7kgfm)/3,200-5,200rpm. The drive motor produces a maximum output of 78kW (106ps) and a maximum torque of 170Nm (17.4kgm). It is possible to drive by taking advantage of the torque characteristics of the motor. Vehicle speed can be controlled simply by operating the accelerator. Adopts the Smart Pedal (S-PDL), which reduces the frequency of switching from the accelerator to the brake when accelerating and decelerating repeatedly in the city or downhill, reducing the burden on the driver and providing a nimble ride.

About the new Rise Hybrid rival models
Compact SUVs have a large number of competitors, and many of them are hybrid models, such as Toyota’s Yaris Cross , Nissan’s Kicks e-POWER, Honda’s WR-V , and Vezel e:HEV. And there are all kinds of attractive cars. The main difference between the Rise and other models is its body size. Rise is the only SUV with a 5-number size . This is a recommended vehicle for those looking for even more fuel efficiency in a small SUV.
| size | rise | Yaris Cross | WR-V |
|---|---|---|---|
| full length | 3,995mm | 4,180mm | 4,325mm |
| full width | 1,695mm | 1,765mm | 1,790mm |
| Overall height | 1,620mm | 1,590mm | 1,650mm |
| Wheelbase |
2,525mm | 2,550mm | 2,650mm |
There is also a certain difference between Yaris Cross and Rise , so it seems to make sense to release ” Rise Space “, which is a derivative of ” Rise “, as a slightly larger size.
