When you're choosing a vehicle for your family, safety isn't just a feature. It's a priority. That's why we're excited to share that the 2025 Toyota HiLux has achieved a 5-star ANCAP safety rating, making it the top performer in the utility vehicle category for 2025. For Perth families who need a vehicle that works as hard as they do, this is significant news.
ANCAP (the Australasian New Car Assessment Program) is the independent authority on vehicle safety in Australia and New Zealand. Their rigorous testing programme evaluates vehicles across four key areas, and the new HiLux delivered strong results across all of them.
| Safety Category | HiLux Score |
| Adult Occupant Protection | 84% |
| Child Occupant Protection | 89% |
| Vulnerable Road User Protection | 82% |
| Safety Assist | 82% |
For families, the 89% child occupant protection score stands out. This means the HiLux has been tested and proven to protect your little ones in the event of a collision. Whether you're doing the school run, heading to weekend sport, or taking the family on a camping trip, that peace of mind matters.
The new HiLux comes equipped with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, the latest generation of Toyota's advanced safety technology. This system works to help you avoid accidents before they happen, rather than just protecting you when they do.
Every HiLux variant now includes Lane Trace Assist and Lane Departure Alert as standard. Lane Trace Assist helps keep you centred in your lane during highway driving, while Lane Departure Alert warns you if you start to drift without indicating. These features are particularly helpful on long drives when fatigue can set in.
If you're looking at the SR5, Rogue, or Rugged X grades, you'll also get the Emergency Driving Stop System. This feature monitors your driving patterns and can safely bring the vehicle to a stop if it detects you may be unwell or unresponsive. For families, this additional layer of protection provides extra reassurance on every journey.
The new HiLux introduces a feature we're particularly proud of: the Cabin Detection Alert System. This is a first for Toyota and is designed to remind you to check the rear seats before leaving the vehicle. It's a simple feature that addresses a real concern for busy parents.
Safety ratings are important, but they're just part of the picture. Perth families choose the HiLux because it combines that 5-star safety with the practicality and reliability that Toyota is known for.
The new HiLux features a completely redesigned interior with improved ergonomics and a flatter dashboard that provides better forward visibility. A new 12.3-inch multimedia touchscreen comes standard on every variant, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to keep the family entertained on longer trips. For the kids, that means easy access to their favourite playlists without you having to fumble with cables.
With 21 different variants available across Single-Cab, Extra-Cab, and Dual-Cab configurations, there's a HiLux to suit every family's needs.
