A safer today

When we set out to design a car, one of our main concerns is how to make it as safe as possible. We employ the latest technology to give you safety performance you can rely on whenever you travel.
One car leading the way in automotive safety is the Toyota Prius. Thanks to some very ingenious engineering, the Prius has been rewarded with a five-star rating for passenger protection in the official Euro-NCAP crash testing, the highest score achievable, since 2004. What’s more the Toyota Prius has set a precedent in passenger safety with its curtain shield airbag and innovative whiplash prevention system and Vehicle Stability Control.
Here at Toyota, we realise it’s not just our cars that will help us achieve our vision of a traffic accident-free world. The people who drive our cars and the environment they drive in figure as importantly in that vision too.That’s why we’ve put into practice various traffic safety initiatives like driving technique courses and safety education activities for children. We’ve also developed a proposal on traffic safety in the 21st century in the hope that it will contribute to the establishment of a harmonized traffic infrastructure.

Going to school

Midday in the park and time wake the senses with some bouncy castle action. Kids love to throw themselves around, and surrounded by cushioned air, they can bounce and play without worry. In the event of an accident, the CSA in your Toyota Prius protects you and passengers in the front and rear. Energy from hard side impacts is absorbed in a soft cushion of air, preventing injury.

At the school funfair

Keeping your family safe and comfortable is all-important. Sometimes simple things can make a big difference, like our innovative Whiplash Injury Lessening headrest. It keeps you comfortable and protects your neck in the event of an accident. A little innovation to prevent a big pain in the neck.

Playing in the park

Flying a kite is great fun, but you need balance and control to maintain a steady, graceful flight. The Toyota Prius VSC technology gives you the control you need, even in tricky conditions.
