The 2017 Toyota Yaris may still be the entry-level Toyota model, but that doesn’t mean that it comes without the features you need and want. In fact, the Yaris offers more safety amenities as standard than even larger, more expensive vehicles thanks to some updates for the 2017 model year.
Toyota’s Safety Sense C
To give you a good idea of just how advanced the safety features in the 2017 Toyota Yaris are, look at the standard Toyota Safety Sense C system. This system includes several advanced driver-assistive and safety technologies that make a huge difference.
The Pre-Collision System uses a camera and forward-facing laser radar to scan the road in front of you. If it detects a potential collision, it will give you visual and audible warnings and activate brake assistance. If you don’t hit the brakes in time, the system will even apply them for you automatically.
The Lane Departure Alert system detects when you drift out of your lane or begin to and alerts you with an indicator light and audible beeping. Finally, automatic high beams rely on a camera to tell if there are oncoming vehicles so they can switch from low to high beams instantly.
Other Standard Safety Features in the 2017 Toyota Yaris
The 2017 Yaris also comes standard with nine different airbags. This includes the Advanced Airbag System for the driver and the front passenger, seat-mounted side airbags in front, seat-cushion airbags in front, a driver knee airbag, and front and rear side curtain airbags.
You also get the Star Safety System, which is standard on all Toyotas. It includes Brake Assist, Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Smart Stop Technology, Traction Control, and Vehicle Stability Control. Other standard safety features include whiplash-reducing seatbacks in front, the Tire Pressure Monitor System, and the LATCH system. Finally, the Yaris offers a range of smart construction components that absorb impacts to keep you and your passengers safe.
