We reviewed 4 Raize upgrades you can buy in Shopee!! -(JOIN THE GIVEAWAY) --> kzread.info/dash/bejne/g6Sd0JSicce3j5s.html

With respect to the D-CVT gearbox, in the 16:17 minute it is observed how after starting, between 15-20km/h, the lock up clutch of the torque converter is activated, locking the drive shaft with the engine, improving the efficiency of the transmission and eliminating the power loss of the torque converter.

This has probably been the most in-depth video and closest experience to a Raize I'll get hahaha! Thank you for this video! Keep it up!

On the other hand Brio is much cheaper and also has a great performance.

If relaxed and smooth driving is your priority, then by all means Raize. Mataas ground clearance, soft suspension, and ergonomics sa driver's seat is very relaxed and casual. No need to worry about potholes or kung sasayad. Yung Brio is the opposite with its sporty vibe and fun character. Both cars are good in their own way and they each suit a specific type of driver/owner.

Hello Franz, I am torn between getting either Toyota Raize or Honda City Sedan or Hatch. I like the form factor of Raize, I feel like it has more versatility. However the fit and finish of a Honda Vehicle far exceeds this current generation of the Raize. I am also worried about Raize's performance on longer highway drives given that it only has 3cyl engine. I am also a newbie driver and it's my first car. I would like to get your advice please!

@FranzGaw

Жыл бұрын

The Raize is definitely the better all arounder but the City is more sporty for sure in terms of driving feel. The Raize's 3 cylinder turbo engine actually has more torque than the City's engine. It will do a lot better when both cars are filled with passengers and luggage. At the end of the day both cars are great. You just need to weigh your priorities and what you look for in a car, and thats where your decision will be made.
