i think raize will appeal more to buyers that have limited space in their garage or travel alone house to office.. while avanza will appeal more to those who haul the family on weekend trips..

Just curious because in the real world some people do cross shop between those segments.

SUVs: Aside from the Raize, the rest are Chinese, this includes the Kia Stonic and the permanently discounted base EcoSport Trend MT.
3-row MPVs: Base Ertiga

exactly. when was the last time you chose a Korean/Chinese car over a Japanese?
same with Suzuki, its not for everyone.

buyers of sub-1M cars are very budget conscious

between raize and stonic.. i'd get the latter..

but the space, tech features of the upcoming avanza is hard to beat hehe

that's easy to say and recommend... but in reality, how many family/friends do you have who drives a sub 1M non-Japanese branded car?

Actually Chinese brands have an easier time penetraiting the lower segments. For sub P1M, MG sold 4,158 units of its ZS in 2021, for P1M+, Geely sold 3,221 units of its Coolray.

Korean vehicles are expensive in general (affordable only if you delete features/ safety equipment). If Kia brought in the Korean Stonic, i doubt they'd sell anywhere near as much as the 1,400 units of the Chinese-made Stonics sold here in 2021.
