Toyota Safety Sense on the HiLux earns full points for motorcyclists

ANCAP's rating of the new Toyota HiLux, published on 11 December 2025, gave its braking and lane support full points in motorcyclist tests. It scored 6.73 of 7 for pedestrians.

  • Not rated society

    Pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists stand to gain, but ANCAP reports track tests and no crash outcomes.

Depth runs from 1, a convenience or time saved, to 5, a life or a livelihood preserved.

Status
Reported benefit.
Evidence

foundstudiedreportedclaimed

Two independent assessment reports support the benefit.

The system’s part
Not isolated. ANCAP tested the HiLux with its systems on and ran no test without them, so the scores describe the systems on the track. ANCAP names the system Toyota Safety Sense and reports which road users it detects. It does not describe the sensors or how the system recognizes road users, and the report does not show that the detection learns from data.

  1. Assessment report, by authors with no tie to the system.

    ANCAP. Safety rating technical report, Toyota HiLux (November 2025 onwards, all variants except Rugged X). Rating published December 2025, updated May 2026.

    GOOD performance was seen in the AEB and LSS Motorcyclist tests, including in turning and emergency lane keeping (ELK) scenarios - earning full points.

  2. Assessment report, by authors with no tie to the system.

    ANCAP. Five highly anticipated models assessed. Media release, 11 December 2025.

    The Hilux provided consistently Good performance in testing across all four assessment pillars.

Details

AI system

Workflow

Automatic emergency braking for vulnerable road users and emergency lane keeping are standard on the HiLux. The braking for pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists works from 5 to 80 km/h.

Follow-up

Conditions for replication

The rating applies to all diesel and battery electric HiLux variants except the Rugged X. Reverse braking for pedestrians was not standard and was not tested.

Entry details

Sector

Road vehicle crash avoidance.

Purpose

Toyota built Toyota Safety Sense to warn the driver, brake automatically and keep the vehicle in its lane when a collision with a vehicle, pedestrian, cyclist or motorcyclist is likely.
