Greater confidence, stay redefined
Toyota is committed to vehicle safety. That’s why we established the Global Outstanding Assessment (GOA) passive safety assessment programme. First we find the toughest safety standards in the world, then we exceed them.
Class-leading airbag safety – up to 7 airbags
Yaris takes safety very seriously. In fact, it's the first Australian vehicle in its class to offer an optional driver's knee airbag (available on Hatchback only). The driver's knee airbag is a revolutionary inclusion in the Enhanced Safety Pack option. The Enhanced Safety Pack also includes front seat side SRS airbags and full curtain shield airbags. Of course, all Yaris models offer the protection of driver and front passenger SRS airbags as standard, and when the Enhanced Safety Pack option is taken up it gives you an unsurpassed total of up to 7 airbags (depending on the model).
Pedestrian protection
Yaris is designed to stringent pedestrian safety standards. Its advanced body design comprises cleverly engineered features to help reduce the chance of injury to pedestrians in the event of an accident. Features include an impact absorbing hood structure, fender, and cowl – all areas that are likely pedestrian impact zones in an accident.
Safe-T-Cell
Although an accident is something we all hope to avoid, it's nice to know that your vehicle is designed to help provide protection. Yaris comes standard with Toyota Safe-T-Cell which helps absorb much of the force of a collision rather than transferring it to driver and passengers. Toyota has always taken crash-testing seriously. And with the aid of our advanced crash-test simulation software, we're able to simulate more crashes from more angles, ensuring a higher level of safety when the vehicle is hit in an accident.
ABS with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA)
In an emergency, it’s hard to keep a cool head. When it comes to emergency braking, Yaris helps keep you safe by doing the thinking for you. All models come standard with Anti-skid Braking System (ABS) complete with Brake Assist (BA) and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD).
- Anti-skid Braking System (ABS) – ABS helps prevent your wheels from locking up, so you’re less likely to skid.
- Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) – Dynamically redistributes braking force based on vehicle load.
- Brake Assist (BA) – Helps you apply optimum braking force during an emergency stop. It interprets a quick, hard push of the brake pedal as emergency braking and supplements the braking power applied if the driver has not pushed hard enough.
