Performance Verdict
With the same 98 Hp 1.0L turbo engine and 140 Nm of torque, this FWD (assumed) variant offers a slightly more responsive and agile feel due to lower weight and less drivetrain friction. It's well-suited for city driving and comfortable highway cruising, providing adequate power for its segment.

This FWD configuration is the most fuel-efficient option within the Raize lineup, making it an excellent choice for daily commuting where maximum economy is desired without the need for all-wheel drive. The CVT helps maintain optimal engine RPM for efficiency.
