Toyota models Alphard/Vellfire, RAV4, and Raize received the
highest rank awards in the FY2019 safety performance assessment by
JNCAP(1).
- Alphard/Vellfire ASV(2)+++ (the highest rank) in preventive
safety performance
- RAV4 ASV(2)+++ in preventive safety performance, five stars (the
highest rank) in collision safety performance
- Raize five stars in collision safety performance
Alphard/Vellfire received the Grand Prix Award in preventive safety
performance by gaining the highest score in the assessment for two
years in a row following last year.
JNCAP revises its testing methods and assessment standards
meticulously, every year, taking into account actual traffic
accidents that have occurred in Japan and the necessity of
establishing countermeasures.
As for the preventive safety performance evaluation, JNCAP added
the autonomous emergency braking system that detects pedestrians
under streetlamps at night in the list of items for assessment in
FY2018, in consideration of the fact that, in Japan, pedestrian
fatalities from road accidents frequently occur at night. Also in
its FY 2019 assessment, the autonomous emergency braking system for
pedestrians at night without lighting was added in the list of
evaluation items. The Alphard/Vellfire and RAV4 equipped with the
latest Toyota Safety Sense--a pre-collision safety system that
detects pedestrians at night--received the highest rank of ASV+++
in JNCAP's assessment of preventive safety performance.
JNCAP has also revised its collision safety performance evaluation
criteria that better reflects the conditions of an aging
population, and adopted new crash test dummies that more accurately
represent the human body. Against this backdrop, RAV4 and Raize,
equipped with the latest collision safety body and occupant
restraint system, received five stars, the top ranking in the
collision safety performance evaluation.
Though traffic accident fatalities and casualties have been
decreasing year by year, tragic accidents continue to occur. Under
the wish for the ultimate goal of zero traffic fatalities, Toyota
is developing vehicles in consideration of various perspectives,
such as advancing and expanding the use of a preventive safety
package called Toyota Safety Sense, utilizing connected technology,
and developing automated driving, to do our utmost in reducing as
many traffic accidents as possible.
With the development of safer cars using a three-pillar approach,
Toyota continues to promote educational activities for people,
including holding awareness-raising activities at Toyota dealers
that introduce customers to "Sapo-Toyo" (vehicles that support a
safe and comfortable life with cars), and promoting maintenance of
the traffic environment in an effort to provide customers with a
safe and secure mobility society.
