Toyota Raize Hybrid (A202A)
Toyota introduced the A202A Raize Hybrid in November 2021. Its WA-VEX petrol engine primarily generates electricity while the front wheels are driven by the electric motor. The two factory hybrid grades are Z and G. Petrol 2WD A201A and turbo-petrol 4WD A210A versions are separate models and are not covered by this hybrid approval.
Example landed and complied pricing on this page starts from about $25,400 AUD, with a recent auction-based median around $27,000 AUD (AUD 1 = JPY 105). Not a quote. Confirm each example’s build month against PCI’s 11/2021–02/2025 selection.
Production history
- November 2021: Toyota adds the e-SMART Hybrid A202A, offered as factory Z and G, both front-wheel drive.
- 2023: Toyota temporarily suspended sales and shipment of Raize HEV following the published crash-test certification issue. This was a manufacturer sales/certification matter, not an additional factory grade.
- 2024: Toyota’s catalogue continues to distinguish hybrid Z and G, with year-specific trim and safety updates.

Which grade should you choose?
A202A Hybrid grades share the e-SMART drivetrain. Equipment and appearance differ more than power output.
| Factory grade | Distinguishing equipment | What to compare |
|---|---|---|
| Z Hybrid | Higher grade with documented 17-inch alloy wheel specification, enhanced LED lamp presentation and richer trim | Most desirable appearance and cabin equipment; check fitted driver-assist and parking options. |
| G Hybrid | Mid-grade hybrid with simpler wheel/cabin specification | Same WA-VEX/e-SMART drivetrain and fuel efficiency, at a more affordable grade. |
Australian Market Pricing & Potential Savings
Importing a comparable vehicle from Japan could potentially save you $5,000 AUD or more compared with buying an equivalent vehicle in Australia. Actual savings depend on the vehicle, specifications, condition, market prices and final import costs.
Factory Options & Packages
| Equipment / option | What buyers should know |
|---|---|
| Two-tone paint and contrasting roof | Genuine factory body-colour option on relevant Z/year configurations, not a separate engine grade. |
| Smart Panoramic Parking Assist / panoramic camera | Toyota offered advanced parking and panoramic view equipment on specified grades/packages; verify original factory option installation. |
| Adaptive cruise control with full-speed following | Available on selected higher grades and model years; equipment varies between individual A202A vehicles. |
| LED headlamp / sequential indicator specification | Grade and model-year dependent; distinguish full-LED Z presentation from simpler G equipment. |
| Audio/navigation and smartphone integration | Factory or Toyota-dealer fitted systems vary. Confirm display type, cameras, navigation language and accessory provenance on the auction vehicle. |
| Cold-weather equipment | Heater, wiper de-icer and related equipment can differ by destination and package. Verify build-specific fitment. |
Useful information for Raize Hybrid buyers
No hybrid AWD
The A202A Hybrid is front-wheel drive only. The 1.0L turbo 4WD Raize is a different A210A vehicle.
Motor-led response
The petrol engine primarily generates electricity, so it feels different from Toyota’s conventional hybrid transaxle vehicles.
Z versus G
These grades share the hybrid drivetrain; the equipment difference matters more than power output.
