All-New Yaris | Gound-Breaking Safety
Ground-breaking safety features, designed to make Yaris the world's safest compact car, include front-centre airbags, sensors that can detect vehicles or pedestrians at intersections when making turns*, and a secondary collision brake.
These new potentially life-saving features are firsts for the Yaris segment and being offered for the first time on a Toyota vehicle in Australia. They are expected to be progressively introduced to the brand's other models.
Other advanced safety technologies include a pre-collision safety system with autonomous emergency braking*, active cruise control*, automatic high beam, and technologies to assist with cornering*, staying in the intended lane* and detecting speed signs. A reversing camera and a full suite of brake assist and traction-control systems including active cornering assist are also standard.
ZR variants gain front and rear parking sensors* and a parking support brake system* that can warn the driver of objects around the vehicle and even apply the brakes if necessary.
ANCAP Safety Rating
ANCAP safety ratings are published for a range of new passenger, sports utility (SUV) and light commercial vehicles (LCV) entering the Australian and New Zealand markets, using a rating system of 0 to 5 stars.
Their star ratings indicate the level of safety a vehicle provides for occupants and pedestrians in the event of a crash, as well as its ability - through technology - to avoid or minimise the effects of a crash. These independent safety ratings are used to compare the relative safety between vehicles of similar mass.
ANCAP safety ratings are determined based on a series of internationally recognised, independent crash tests and safety assessments – involving a range of destructive physical crash tests, an assessment of on-board safety features and equipment, and performance testing of active collision avoidance technologies.
