Overall Rating
Toyota Ractis:
The Toyota Ractis is a mini MPV produced by Japanese automaker Toyota. It is a five-seater mini MPV based on the Vitz. "Ractis" is derived from "Run", "Activity" and "Space".
In New Zealand and parts of Europe it was rebadged as the Verso-S.
The first generation Ractis was initially only sold in Japan, and was available at Toyopet Store dealerships. A minor change was released on December 20, 2007, with new headlights and tail lights. Sales in Hong Kong started from October 2009. Available in both 1. 3-litre and 1. 5-litre engines....(Read more on Wikipedia)
I Overview:
Toyota Ractis (I). With 121 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. Weighing only 1120 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. A spacious vehicle designed to transport passengers comfortably, often with sliding doors. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
The Toyota Ractis I generation was not officially tested by Euro NCAP. As a JDM-focused model, specific European safety ratings are unavailable, though it would likely meet contemporary Japanese safety standards.
1.3i (87 Hp) Verdict:
Performance Verdict
The 87 Hp 1.3i engine provides sufficient power for city driving and light loads, but can feel underpowered on highways or with a full complement of passengers.

Expected to offer slightly better urban fuel economy than the 1.5L, making it a cost-effective choice for predominantly city-based travel.
