The Toyota Raize has quietly become one of the most searched imported cars in Pakistan, and for good reason. It is a compact crossover with Toyota engineering, genuine ground clearance, modern safety technology, and a price that undercuts every locally assembled SUV. There are over a thousand listed in the market at any given time.
But the Raize is not sold by Indus Motors. Every single one on Pakistani roads arrived as an import, which means there is no fixed showroom price, no standard warranty, and no dealer to hand you a spec sheet. Prices swing by lakhs depending on grade, model year, auction condition and the rupee.
This guide covers everything you need before committing: the current Toyota Raize price Pakistan buyers are paying, every variant explained, full specifications, the real fuel average, a complete import cost breakdown, customs duty by engine size, and registration charges.
Because the Raize is import-only, pricing reflects the used and near-new market rather than a factory list.
Across the market, Raize listings currently span roughly PKR 41.5 lac to PKR 95.2 lac. That is a wide band, and understanding why matters more than the headline number.
| Segment | Typical price range | What you get |
| 2019–2020, base X / XS | PKR 41.5 – 50 lac | Higher mileage, basic grade, entry point into Raize ownership |
| 2020–2021, G grade | PKR 48 – 60 lac | The market sweet spot. Good equipment, reasonable mileage |
| 2021–2022, Z grade | PKR 58 – 72 lac | Toyota Safety Sense, LED lights, alloys, digital cluster |
| 2022+, Hybrid G / Hybrid Z | PKR 70 – 95 lac | e-Smart hybrid, best fuel economy, highest spec |
Most Pakistani buyers land in the 48 to 60 lac range, which buys a 2020 or 2021 G grade in sound condition.
What moves the price: model year, auction grade, verified mileage, whether the car is a fresh import or has already changed hands locally, and the USD and JPY exchange rates on the day of purchase. A fresh import with a clean auction sheet commands a premium over a locally traded unit with an unclear history, and deserves to.
Japanese-market Raize grades do not map neatly onto what Pakistani dealers advertise, so confirm the actual grade rather than trusting a listing title.
The entry grade. Steel wheels, halogen headlamps, fabric seats, basic infotainment. Mechanically identical to higher grades on the 996cc turbo. Fine if you want the Raize package without paying for equipment you will not use.
Adds convenience items over the X, including improved interior trim and upgraded audio. A modest step up rather than a transformation.
The volume grade and the one most commonly imported to Pakistan. Alloy wheels, LED headlamps, a better infotainment unit, keyless entry and push-start. This is the value pick for most buyers.
The top petrol grade. Adds Toyota Safety Sense with pre-collision braking, adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning, plus a digital instrument cluster, upgraded interior materials and a 360-degree camera on many units.
Introduced in 2021 with the 1.2-litre e-Smart hybrid system. These are the most economical and most expensive Raize grades. The Hybrid Z carries the full safety suite alongside the hybrid drivetrain.
Practical advice: the G grade offers the best value, and the Z is worth the premium only if the safety suite matters to you enough to pay for it.
The Raize launched in 2019 on Toyota's DNGA platform, developed jointly with Daihatsu, where the same car is sold as the Daihatsu Rocky.
| Specification | Detail |
| Body type | 5-door compact crossover SUV |
| Seating | 5 |
| Platform | DNGA |
| Engine options | 996cc turbo 3-cyl, 1196cc petrol, 1.2 e-Smart hybrid |
| Transmission | CVT automatic |
| Drivetrain | Front-wheel drive (AWD on selected JDM grades) |
| Top speed | Approximately 180 km/h |
| Fuel average | 12–18 km/l |
| Drive side | Right-hand drive |
| Production | 2019 to present, first generation |
Two things Pakistani buyers should note. First, some JDM Raize grades came with all-wheel drive, which is uncommon in imports here but does exist. Second, the Raize shares its platform and much of its mechanical package with the Daihatsu Rocky, which is relevant when sourcing parts.
The most common engine in Pakistani Raize imports. A three-cylinder turbocharged petrol unit that delivers noticeably more mid-range torque than a naturally aspirated 1.0-litre. In city driving it feels relaxed rather than strained, and it pulls adequately on the motorway.
Critically, it sits in the 801–1000cc customs bracket, which as of 2026 is the cheapest band to import into Pakistan. This is a significant advantage.
Naturally aspirated, smoother and less reliant on boost, appearing in later grades. It falls into the 1001–1300cc customs bracket, which still carries no regulatory duty and no additional customs duty.
Toyota's series hybrid system, where the petrol engine works as a generator and an electric motor drives the wheels. This gives the Raize its best fuel figures and its smoothest urban drive. It is also the most expensive to buy and the most complex to repair in Pakistan, where hybrid-trained technicians are concentrated in major cities.
For most buyers, the 996cc turbo is the sensible pick — cheapest to import, easiest to service, and entirely adequate.
Official figures put the Raize at 12 to 18 km/l, and real-world Pakistani conditions land within that range rather than beating it.
| Driving condition | Realistic figure |
| Dense city traffic (996cc turbo) | 11–13 km/l |
| Mixed city and suburban | 13–15 km/l |
| Motorway cruising | 16–18 km/l |
| Hybrid grades, city | 17–20 km/l |
The turbo rewards a light right foot and punishes a heavy one more than a naturally aspirated engine would. Air conditioning through a Karachi or Lahore summer will pull city figures towards the lower end.
If fuel economy is your single highest priority, a hybrid hatchback will beat the Raize. If you want a crossover that is still economical, these are respectable numbers.
Feature content varies substantially by grade, so verify against the specific unit rather than the model.
Commonly found on G and above: LED headlamps with automatic levelling, alloy wheels, keyless entry and push-button start, climate control, a touchscreen infotainment unit, reversing camera, and steering-mounted controls.
Found on Z and hybrid grades: Toyota Safety Sense including pre-collision braking, adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning; a digital instrument cluster; a 360-degree panoramic camera; upgraded upholstery; and additional airbags.
A warning about infotainment. JDM units ship with Japanese-language head units and Japanese navigation that does not work in Pakistan. Most buyers replace the unit or have it converted. Budget for this, and check whether it has already been done before you agree a price.
This is where most buyers get caught out. The auction price is roughly half the story.
| Cost component | What it covers | Notes |
| Auction purchase price | The winning bid in Japan | Varies by grade, year and auction condition score |
| Auction and export fees | Auction house charges, deregistration, inland transport | Fixed-ish, relatively small |
| Inspection | Pre-shipment inspection where required | Mandatory for commercial imports |
| Freight and insurance | Japan to Karachi, RoRo or container | Moves with shipping rates |
| Customs duty | Charged on customs-assessed value | 35% for 996cc, 40% for 1196cc |
| Regulatory duty | Applies to commercial used imports | 30% for FY2026-27, falling annually |
| Federal excise duty | By engine bracket | Lower for sub-1300cc vehicles |
| Sales tax | On assessed value plus duties | Standard rate |
| Income tax / withholding | Higher for non-filers | Filer status materially affects this |
| Port and clearing charges | Terminal handling, agent fees, documentation | Varies by clearing agent |
The critical point: duty is calculated on the customs-assessed value, not what you paid at auction. Customs applies its own valuation, and it may not match your invoice. Anyone who quotes you an exact landed cost before knowing the assessed value is guessing.
A realistic rule of thumb: duties, taxes and clearing typically add somewhere in the region of 70% to 90% on top of the landed CIF value for a sub-1000cc import in the current structure. Treat that as a planning figure, not a quotation, and get a proper costing before you bid.
Pakistan's duty structure changed on 1 July 2026 under the amended Finance Bill 2026-27, and the Raize benefited more than most cars.
| Engine bracket | Customs duty before | Customs duty now | RD | ACD |
| 801–1000cc (Raize 996cc turbo) | 55% | 35% | 0% | 0% |
| 1001–1300cc (Raize 1196cc) | 60% | 40% | 0% | 0% |
Two further changes work in a Raize buyer's favour:
Both Raize engine options sit below the 1300cc line, which keeps them clear of the regulatory duty, additional customs duty and higher excise rates that apply from 1301cc upward. That is a genuine structural advantage over a 1.5-litre rival.
Registration charges vary by province and are assessed on the customs value for imported vehicles, which is why an imported Raize costs more to register than a locally assembled car of similar price.
What you will pay:
Note the bracket effect again. The 996cc Raize qualifies for the lifetime token tax treatment available to sub-1000cc cars, while the 1196cc version does not. Over several years of ownership, that is a real difference.
Always verify final figures with your provincial Excise office or the ePay portal, as rates are revised by notification.
Pros
Cons
For the right buyer, yes.
The Raize makes sense if you want a compact SUV with real ground clearance, you value safety equipment, you drive on roads that punish low cars, and you are comfortable owning an imported vehicle without dealer backup. Nothing assembled locally at this price offers a comparable package.
It makes less sense if you need cheap parts on demand, you plan to sell within two years, or you want a dealership to handle everything.
The single biggest factor in a good Raize purchase is not grade or model year. It is documentation. A car with a translated auction sheet, a verified mileage record and clean import papers will drive better, cost less to maintain and resell more easily than an identical car with an unclear history.
Buy the paperwork as carefully as you buy the car.
Q1. What is the Toyota Raize price in Pakistan in 2026?
Raize listings range from roughly PKR 41.5 lac to PKR 95.2 lac depending on grade, model year, mileage and condition. Most buyers transact in the 48 to 60 lac range for a 2020 or 2021 G grade.
Q2. Is the Toyota Raize available in Pakistan officially?
No. Indus Motors does not assemble or sell the Raize. Every unit in Pakistan arrived as an import, either through a dealer or a direct import from Japan.
Q3. What engine does the Toyota Raize have?
Three options: a 996cc turbocharged three-cylinder, a 1196cc naturally aspirated petrol, and a 1.2-litre e-Smart hybrid. The 996cc turbo is the most common in Pakistani imports.
Q4. What is the Toyota Raize fuel average?
Between 12 and 18 km/l depending on engine and conditions. Expect 11 to 13 km/l in heavy city traffic and 16 to 18 km/l on the motorway. Hybrid grades do better.
Q5. How much is customs duty on a Toyota Raize?
The 996cc version attracts 35% customs duty in the 801–1000cc bracket, and the 1196cc version attracts 40% in the 1001–1300cc bracket. Regulatory duty of 30% applies to commercial used imports this fiscal year.
Q6. Can I import a Toyota Raize older than five years?
Yes. The age limit on commercial used vehicle imports was removed in July 2026. Vehicles must still meet environmental and safety standards and pass pre-shipment inspection in Japan.
Q7. Is the Toyota Raize good for Pakistani roads?
Yes. Its crossover ground clearance handles broken surfaces, unmarked speed breakers and monsoon flooding considerably better than a low hatchback.
Import Your Toyota Raize Direct from Japan
The difference between a good Raize and an expensive mistake is the auction sheet. Buying direct means you see the condition grade, the panel-by-panel inspection map and the verified mileage before you commit, rather than trusting a description after the car has already landed. With duties on sub-1000cc imports at their lowest in years, the timing works in your favour.
