The Rocky is also assembled and sold in Indonesia alongside the Raize since April 2021 with around 70 percent of local parts content and planned to be exported (as Raize) in 50 countries starting in August. Daihatsu invested Rp1.7 trillion for the production tooling to their Karawang assembly plant. It was unveiled on 28 April and launched locally on 30 April.
Overview.
Rocky's design was previewed by the 2017 DN Trec concept. It is built on Daihatsu's DNGA-A platform, and the development was led by Daihatsu chief engineer Nobuhiko Ono. 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.
The Rocky is powered by two three-cylinder petrol engine options: a turbocharged 1.0-litre (996 cc) "1KR-VET" unit that produces and of torque, and a naturally-aspirated 1.2-litre (1,198 cc) "WA-VE" unit that produces and of torque. The latter engine option is only available in Indonesia. Both engines is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission (Indonesia only) or a "Dual-Mode CVT" (D-CVT).
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.
In Japan, the Rocky is offered in L, X, G and Premium grade levels, with four-wheel drive option available for every grade level. With its width under , the Japanese-spec Rocky is compliant with the Japanese government's dimension regulations regarding compact cars which reduce tax liability.
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 1.2-litre "WA-VE" engine, while the R grade is powered by the 1.0-litre "1KR-VET" engine. Astra Daihatsu Styling (ADS) package and Advanced Safety Assist (ASA) driver assistance system is also available as an option. The 1.2-litre model will be available on an unspecified time frame.
Toyota Raize.
The Raize replaces the J200 series Rush. The name "Raize" is derived from a combination of the words "rise" and "raise," which according to Toyota, it signifies an "active car that energises everyday life". It is mostly identical with the Rocky, differentiated by its front fascia which adopts Toyota's corporate look. The vehicle is offered in X, X"S", G and Z grade levels, with each grade has a four-wheel drive option.
In Indonesia, the Raize is offered in G and GR (Gazoo Racing) Sport grade levels. The G grade is powered by either a 1.2-litre "WA-VE" or 1.0-litre "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.
Perodua Ativa (A270).
The Ativa was opened for booking on 19 February 2021 and launched on 3 March 2021. 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. Its model code is A270, as opposed to A200 for the Japanese Rocky and Raize and A250 for the Indonesian version.
It is longer by , wider by , and taller by 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. 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.
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.
