Safety in Toyota vehicles is a staple of their design, with most new models coming with Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) standard.

One of the most powerful TSS features is the Lane Departure Alert.

TSS features also include Pre-Collision System, Automatic High Beams, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, and Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection. All these features work together to help you stay safe in your new Toyota.

Those who are looking for an excellent, efficient city driver have several versions of the Prius to choose from, while those looking for a compact or midsize SUV have the RAV4 and Highlander on their side.

So far, what we’ve learned makes us even more excited to get behind the wheel.
