Chronology
Predecessor

Outside of Japan, the model is manufactured in Indonesia and Malaysia. It is marketed in Malaysia under Perodua brand as the Perodua Ativa since February 2021.[2] The Rocky is also assembled and sold in Indonesia alongside the Raize since April 2021 and planned to be exported (as Raize) in 50 countries.[4][12]

Overview

Development of the vehicle started around 2017, headed by Daihatsu chief engineer Nobuhiko Ono.[3] Suggestions for making a larger vehicle were turned down by Ono, citing their expertise in developing kei cars.[13] It is built on Daihatsu's DNGA platform, and internally grouped as an A-segment vehicle.[7]

Rocky's design was previewed by the 2017 DN Trec concept.[14] The Rocky nameplate was previously used for two different (F300 and F70 series) ladder frame-based SUV models, and was reused after a 17 year hiatus. The A200 series Rocky is only available in Japan, with models produced in Indonesia designated as A250 series. With its width under 1.7 metres (66.9 in), the Japanese-spec Rocky is compliant with the Japanese government's dimension regulations regarding compact cars which reduce tax liability.

The Rocky is available in three different powertrain options: a turbocharged 1.0-litre (996 cc) 1KR-VET three-cylinder engine that produces 72 kW (97 hp; 98 PS) and 140 N⋅m (100 lb⋅ft) of torque, a naturally-aspirated 1.2-litre (1,198 cc) WA-VE three-cylinder engine that produces 64–65 kW (86–87 hp; 87–88 PS) and 113 N⋅m (83 lb⋅ft), and a hybrid-electric 1.2-litre (1,198 cc) WA-VEX three-cylinder engine that produces 60 kW (80 hp; 82 PS) and 105 N⋅m (77 lb⋅ft). The first two engines is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission (Indonesia only) or a "Dual-Mode CVT" (D-CVT). The hybrid-electric variant uses a series hybrid drivetrain, marketed as "e-Smart Hybrid" for Daihatsu and "Hybrid Synergy Drive" for Toyota.

In D-CVT, unlike traditional units, the transmission does not rely solely on belt drive, but also combining it with split gears. From low to medium speeds, the D-CVT functions like other CVT systems, while at higher speeds, the D-CVT shifts into its split mode, engaging the gear drive to achieve less energy loss. Daihatsu claimed the D-CVT was the world's first split-gear CVT system and would achieve improved fuel efficiency, acceleration feel and quietness.[15]

For the hybrid-electric variant, the WA-VEX engine acts as a generator for the E1A electric motor that is mechanically connected to the driving wheels, which produces 78 kW (105 hp; 106 PS) and 170 N⋅m (130 lb⋅ft) of torque.

Japan

Initially, the Rocky was offered in L, X, G and Premium grade levels in Japan, which were all powered by a 1KR-VET engine with four-wheel drive option available for every grade. In November 2021, the G grade was removed and the Premium grade was replaced by Premium G. The 1KR-VET engine option for front-wheel drive models was also replaced by the WA-VE unit used earlier in the Indonesian-market Rocky.

The hybrid-electric variant, which is introduced in the same month, is available in X and Premium G grades.[16] It is powered by a WA-VEX engine and combined with an E1A electric motor. The exterior also received minor makeover with a mesh grille, different alloy wheels with 5 lugs, blue accent on Daihatsu's badges and "e-Smart Hybrid" badge on the tailgate to distinguish it from the conventional petrol models.

Indonesia

The Rocky was unveiled in Indonesia alongside the Raize on 28 April 2021 and went on sale in 30 April 2021. Daihatsu invested Rp 1.7 trillion for the production tooling for their Karawang assembly plant, achieving around 70 percent of local parts content.[17][18] In Indonesia, the Rocky is offered in M, X and R grade levels with either a manual transmission or CVT. The M and X grades are powered by the WA-VE engine, while the R grade is powered by the 1KR-VET unit. Astra Daihatsu Styling (ADS) package and Advanced Safety Assist (ASA) driver assistance system is also available as an option.[19] The 1.2-litre model has been available since June 2021.[20]

Toyota Raize
"Toyota Raize" redirects here. It is not to be confused with Toyota Reiz.

Since the Daihatsu brand was discontinued in 2013 for international markets and only available in Japan, Indonesia, and Malaysia (for commercial vehicles only), the Rocky is also sold and marketed as the Toyota Raize in Japan and most international markets with different front bumper and alloy wheels. The international model, mainly sold for emerging markets, is manufactured in Indonesia by Astra Daihatsu Motor.[12]

Asia

In Japan, the Raize replaces the J200 series Rush.[1] The name "Raize" is derived from a combination of the words "rise" and "raise," which according to Toyota, signifies an "active car that energises everyday life".[1] It is mostly identical with the Rocky, differentiated by its front fascia which adopts Toyota's corporate look.[21] The vehicle is offered in X, X"S", G and Z grade levels, with each grade has a four-wheel drive option. The hybrid-electric variant is available in G and Z grades.[22]

In Indonesia, the Raize is offered in G and GR Sport grade levels. The G grade is powered by either a WA-VE or 1KR-VET engines mated with either a manual transmission or CVT, while the GR Sport grade is only offered with the latter engine option mated to a CVT and also available with ASA (marketed as Toyota Safety Sense) as an option.

The Cambodian-market Raize, which is imported from Indonesia, was launched on 22 September 2021. It is only available in a single grade with a 1KR-VET engine and CVT.[23]

The Vietnamese-market Raize, which is also imported from Indonesia, was launched on 4 November 2021. Like the Cambodian model, it is only available in a single grade with a 1KR-VET engine and CVT. The "GR Sport" bodykit is available as an option.[24]

Latin America

The Indonesian-built Mexican-market Raize went on sale in late 2021.[25] It is only available in a single grade, XLE with a 1KR-VET engine, mated with either 5-speed manual or CVT.

Perodua Ativa (A270)

The Ativa was opened for booking on 19 February 2021 and launched on 3 March 2021.[26] The name "Ativa" is derived from the Portuguese word "ativo", which means "active" or "to get active". It is the first Perodua model to be built on the DNGA platform, the first Perodua with a turbocharged engine, and the first one to use a CVT. It shares the same powertrain with the Japanese-market Rocky and is offered in X, H and AV grade levels.[27] Its model code is A270, as opposed to A200 for the Japanese Rocky and Raize and A250 for the Indonesian version.[28]

It is longer by 70 mm (2.8 in), wider by 20 mm (0.8 in), and taller by 15 mm (0.6 in) than the Japanese-spec Rocky and Raize. This is due to the distinct design of the bumpers, and a different suspension setup specific to the Ativa which rode higher and firmer.[29] While the Japan-spec Rocky and Raize are equipped with a plastic tailgate, the Ativa uses a metal tailgate which made it slightly heavier compared to its Japanese counterpart.[30]

According to the company, the Ativa is built with 95 percent of local content, which is the highest ever of any Perodua model. Its engine is made by Perodua Engine Manufacturing in Rawang, Selangor, while its CVT is produced at Akashi Kikai in Sendayan, Negeri Sembilan.[31]
