Toyota will release the “Rise Base,” which is based on the “Rise,” around 2024. On December 12, 2022, we applied for “RAIZE SPACE ” ( commercial application 2022-141247 ) to the Japanese Patent Office . Toyota announced the new Yaris Cross in Indonesia on May 15, 2023 (local time). The design is similar to the RAV4 and Highlander, so there is no doubt that it will become a popular model if it is sold in Japan. However, what is shocking is that it has nothing to do with the Yaris Cross currently sold in Europe, Japan, and Australia . The base is based on Rise, and “Rise Space” fits perfectly.

summary
It shares many aspects of its platform and engine with the Japanese models “Yaris Cross” and “Rise,” and due to its good design, it is sure to become a hot topic if sold as the “Rise Space” in Japan. Even so, I am truly amazed at the high quality of Toyota’s products.
