Toyota Camry Safety
Safety is paramount when looking for a new car, and no vehicle does it better than the Toyota Camry. Not only does its design take safety into account, but it also comes with an array of passive and active safety features to become one of the safest vehicles on the road.
Drivers in Daytona Beach, Palm Coast, and Ormond Beach can learn more about the Toyota Camry safety scores, features, and technology with our in-depth safety review.
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Testing
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is a federal organization which subjects vehicles to a number of different safety tests. It scores vehicles on a star scale, with five stars being the highest.
One of the few vehicles to ace not only the overall safety score but the subsequent categories is the Toyota Camry. It earned the 5-Star Overall Safety Rating, and five stars in every individual category.
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is an independent safety testing organization that tests vehicles and safety equipment according to strict criteria. This testing is quite different from the NHTSA and uses a rating system to score vehicles.
The Toyota Camry earned “Good” scores in every crash test, including the notoriously difficult front small overlap battery for driver and front passenger safety. This is the highest score for the IIHS, which also means the Camry earned the coveted 2018 TOP SAFETY PICK+.
Advanced Safety Features
In addition to its inherently safe design, the Toyota Camry also includes a suite of advanced safety features standard on every model. Dubbed the Toyota Safety Sense™ P, this system includes Forward Collision Warning with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning, Active Lane Control, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Automatic High Beams.
These systems do an excellent job of alerting the driver to potential collisions from the rear, side, and front, and its frontal protection systems earned a “Superior” rating from the IIHS for its ability to prevent frontal collisions and mitigate high-speed crashes.
Additional equipment, such as Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Blind Spot Monitoring, are available for certain trim levels.
Passive Safety Equipment
The Toyota Camry also includes a driver airbag, a passenger airbag, a front head airbag, a rear head airbag, a front side airbag, and a rear side airbag. Brake assist, electronic stability control, traction control, daytime running lights, and anti-lock brakes round out the standard passive safety equipment.
