Comfort and Design: Toyota Ractis Interior
The Toyota Ractis entered the market in 2005 as a bigger, better, and more luxurious replacement for the Toyota Funcargo. Meant to allow for comfortable driving, the Ractis was designed with the theme of “high-speed, high-capacity styling.” Toyota paid particular attention not only to its performance but also styling and functionality.
The polished contours and cat-eye headlights add to the Ractis’ exterior beauty. But there is so much more to the Toyota Ractis than meets the eye.
Despite its compact size, the Ractis combines a roomy interior (the biggest in its class, btw) with nimble styling. It offers a high level of versatility, fun driving, and superb performance. The high roof ensures more interior space while the flat-fold back seats create more cargo space.
This is a car that combines high utility with the utmost convenient and comfortable driving experience. And the 2013 Ractis was refined to take comfort above and beyond what the first-generation Ractis offered while maintaining the model’s charm.
Toyota Ractis Handling and Ride Quality
As we’ve mentioned, the Toyota Ractis was designed with performance, function, and styling in mind. It offers a smooth riding experience, high fuel efficiency, and brisk maneuvering. It also has class-leading safety features such as front and side airbags.
Toyota Ractis is definitely a reliable car and will serve you for a long time. With proper maintenance and service, the car will serve you without major problems. It is a great option when it comes to performance, convenience, and fuel consumption.
With a ground clearance of 5.7 inches, the Ractis is high enough to clear standard Kenyan speed bumps without any trouble.
