This Toyota Raize is ready for an 80s party

Alpine Style turns Raize back to the 80s

Doing automotive face swaps can be such a fun activity to do, whether you’re just using the power of photoshop or making the real thing. The latter seems to be the case, especially for Japanese aftermarket specialists. Over the years, we’ve seen countless face swaps on various vehicles, and more recently with the Suzuki Jimny.

But other small vehicles are getting the attention as well, specifically the Toyota Raize. Over in the Land of the Rising Sun, the baby crossover has been dressed up for the 80s courtesy of Alpine Style – they call it the Havana.

As the name suggests, Alpine Style took inspiration from the styling of 80s American cars that are still pretty much in existence in Cuba’s capital. The Raize received plenty of chrome-plated parts that make up the Chevrolet K5 Blazer-inspired front end.

Likewise, the rear taillight housing has been modified to fit rectangular units, along with a wood panel that runs through the width of the tailgate. To complete the retro look, the Alpine Style Havana is wearing chrome wheel covers wrapped in Toyo Open Country tires with white lettering.

Inside, there’s not much difference between the Raize and the Havana, except for a new steering wheel emblem, a new seat upholstery, and an upgraded audio system.

In Japan, the Alpine Style Havana costs around JPY 3.98 million (around PHP 1.49 million). That cost includes the Raize donor car and the conversion kit itself.
