The key difference between the entry-level Rocky and Raize is the fitment of Daihatsu’s Smart Assist ADAS suite on the Rocky – something that the entry-level Raize lacks. The

A common excuse for buying an SUV would be the added safety in the event of a crash. SUVs are bigger and thus we instinctively associate them with strength. And there is some truth to that. In the event of a collision of two cars, it is usually much better to be in the bigger car. But SUVs are also associated with higher centres of gravity and they generally rollover much easier. So, if safety is your main concern, should you get an SUV or a sedan? It depends. To be fair, we’ll be looking at an
