Airbag Count: 7 Airbags
Safety is a priority, with the Hilux featuring 7 airbags as standard: driver and front passenger airbags, side airbags, curtain shield airbags, and a driver’s knee airbag. This provides 360-degree protection for occupants in various collision scenarios.
ABS with EBD: Yes
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is paired with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD). EBD automatically varies the amount of force applied to each of the vehicle's brakes based on road conditions and weight distribution, preventing skidding during emergency stops.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC): Yes
Known by Toyota as Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), this system detects loss of traction and automatically applies braking to individual wheels to help steer the vehicle back on its intended path, crucial for a high-riding vehicle like the Hilux.
Hill Start Assist: Yes
Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) prevents the vehicle from rolling backward when starting on an incline by maintaining brake pressure for a few seconds after the brake pedal is released. This is particularly useful when towing heavy trailers.
ISOFIX: Yes
The rear seats are equipped with two ISOFIX anchor points and tether anchors, allowing for the secure and easy installation of child safety seats, making the Hilux a viable family vehicle as well as a work tool.
NCAP Safety Rating: 5 Stars (ANCAP 2025)
The latest generation Toyota Hilux has secured a maximum 5-star safety rating from ANCAP (tested under 2025 protocols). It scored highly in Adult Occupant Protection (84%) and Child Occupant Protection (89%), thanks to the inclusion of the Toyota Safety Sense suite
