Toyota’s safety standards
The safety of Toyota drivers comes first. The brand knows that Australia’s roads can be unpredictable, and has designed a safety package - the Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) - to protect drivers against some of the dangers that lie ahead. TSS provides the latest tech to assist you out on the road, and includes protective features such as a Pre-Collision Safety System, Lane Departure Alert and Active Cruise Control.
When you’re looking for new and used cars for sale in Sydney, NSW, you want to be sure you’re not compromising on safety. In safety tests carried out by Monash University’s Accident Research Centre, 7 million vehicles in Australia and New Zealand were analysed to form a safety rating based on crash worthiness (how the vehicle can protect users in a crash), aggressivity (impact on other road users) and total secondary safety (the estimated risk of death or serious injury to all road users).
In the medium SUV category, The Toyota RAV4 (manufactured in 2006-2012) received a driver protection rating of 5 stars out of 5 and was awarded a “safe pick” title. In the large SUV category, the Kluger and LandCruiser 200 series also both received 5 stars.
The brand also featured prominently in the list of the Top Safety Picks for 2019, cementing its status as one of the most safety-conscious brands that’s innovative in its passenger safety technology.
