About the new RISE hybrid system “e-SMART HYBRID”
The “e-SMART HYBRID” system is comprised of a newly developed 1.2L in-line 3-cylinder engine (WA-VEX) and a motor. The engine is dedicated to generating electricity, and the series hybrid system uses that electricity to run the vehicle 100% on the motor. This system has a simple structure and compact size, and is particularly strong at low and medium speeds, making it ideal for small cars that are mostly used in the city. It achieves an astonishing fuel economy of 28.0km/L (2WD) in WLTC mode.
The generator engine is a 1.2L inline 3-cylinder engine (WA-VEX) with a maximum output of 60kW (82ps) / 5,600rpm, 105Nm (10.7kgfm) / 3,200-5,200rpm. The drive motor has a maximum output of 78kW (106ps) and a maximum torque of 170Nm (17.4kgm). The torque makes it possible to take advantage of the motor’s characteristics. The vehicle speed can be controlled by operating the accelerator only. The “Smart Pedal (S-PDL)” is adopted, which reduces the frequency of switching from the accelerator to the brake in city streets and downhill areas where acceleration and deceleration are repeated, reducing the burden on the driver and achieving a lighter ride.
About Rise
The new “Rize” is a compact SUV that fits within the 5-number size. The exterior incorporates the outdoor-oriented design used in the new “RAV4” and other models, and features a strong and bold style that inherits the tradition of Toyota SUVs. The platform used is Daihatsu’s “DNGA platform,” the second after the new Tanto. The top grade “X” is equipped with “LED front sequential turn lamps (flowing blinkers).”
Despite its compact size of 3,995mm in length, 1,695mm in width, and 1,620mm in height, it is equipped with large 17-inch or 16-inch tires, and the minimum turning radius is kept to 4.9 to 5.0m. It also features a Dynamic Torque Control 4WD system, achieving excellent driving performance. Daihatsu was responsible for the design, development, and production, and it is also equipped with the advanced technology “Next Generation Smart Assist.”
The interior is equipped with a 7-inch full LCD display “Active Multi-Information Meter” and a “9-inch display audio” exclusive to the Rise. Apps compatible with SmartDeviceLink and Apple CarPlay can be operated on the display.
The luggage capacity is 369L.
Rise comes standard with advanced technology “Next Generation Smart Assist”
The “Smart Assist III” is equipped with two cameras. It also comes with the “Next Generation Smart Assist” which adds functions such as “ACC with all-speed tracking function” (optional only for higher grades). It uses a stereo camera, supports pedestrians, and has a wider operating speed range than before. It is a “Safety Support Car S (Wide)” eligible vehicle (Sapo Car S (Wide) eligible vehicle).
Equipped with two corner sensors on the front and rear of the vehicle , the further evolved “Next Generation Smart Assist” helps avoid accidents in close calls while driving and supports your safe driving. In addition to sonar sensors, the car is newly equipped with the world’s smallest stereo camera that does not obstruct the driver’s field of vision or headroom. It accurately captures various information such as pedestrians, preceding vehicles, and obstacles, and warns the driver or activates emergency braking.
Collision warning function / Collision avoidance support brake function ① Collision warning (for vehicles, for pedestrians) When the camera detects a vehicle or pedestrian in front while driving and judges that there is a risk of collision, it will notify you with a buzzer sound and a display in the meter.
② Primary brake (for vehicles, for pedestrians) If the system judges that there is a risk of collision, it will automatically apply a weak brake (primary brake) to encourage the driver to avoid the collision.
③ Damage reduction brake assist (for vehicles, for pedestrians) If the driver applies the brake when the primary brake function is activated, the brake assist will be activated and the braking force will be increased.
④ Emergency brake (for vehicles, for pedestrians) If the system judges that a collision is unavoidable, it will slow down with a strong brake (secondary brake). It avoids a collision or reduces damage.
Lane Departure Prevention Control Function If the vehicle is about to deviate from its lane without using its turn signal, the system warns the driver with a buzzer and a display on the meter, urging the driver to take action. It also assists the driver in steering to bring the vehicle back into the lane.
If the driver does not notice that the vehicle ahead has started moving when the preceding vehicle departure notification function is disabled and does not start moving, a buzzer will sound and the display on the meter will notify the driver.
AT false start prevention control function + false start prevention function with brake control ① Forward false start prevention control function When the stereo camera detects an obstacle such as a vehicle or wall within 4m ahead, if the accelerator pedal is pressed with the shift position in “forward”, the engine output is limited to prevent sudden start. ② Rear false start prevention control function When the sonar sensor built into the rear bumper detects an obstacle such as a wall within 2-3m behind, if the accelerator pedal is pressed with the shift position in “reverse”, the engine output is limited to prevent sudden start. Brake control has also been added.
The high beam assist stereo camera detects the brightness of oncoming headlights and automatically switches between high and low beams. This allows you to drive with high beams without having to switch between them, making nighttime driving safer even on roads with few street lights.
Adaptive Driving Beam: When driving with high beams on, if an oncoming vehicle is detected, the light in the area of the high beams that faces the oncoming vehicle will automatically be blocked.
Sign Recognition Function If the stereo camera detects a no entry sign, a notification will be displayed in the meter.
Rise Advanced Technology “Smart Assist Plus”
ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) with full-speed following function: The stereo camera detects the speed and distance of the vehicle ahead, maintains the distance and speed between the vehicles, and follows the vehicle ahead, controlling it until it comes to a stop.
Lane Keep Control: The stereo camera detects the lane and assists steering to keep the vehicle in the center of the lane.
Parking assistance function “Smart Panorama Parking Assist” – A first for a minicar – cameras on the left and right detect the white lines of parking spaces and provide voice and on-screen guidance as well as steering assistance.
Side View Lamps When turning right or left at night, auxiliary lights that illuminate the left and right directions are turned on in addition to the normal headlamps, brightly illuminating the direction in which the steering wheel is turned.
