Airbag Count: 7 Airbags
Safety is prioritized with 7 SRS airbags as standard across the range. This includes driver and passenger front airbags, side airbags, curtain shield airbags, and a dedicated driver-side knee airbag to prevent lower-limb injuries in a collision.
ABS with EBD: Equipped
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is paired with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD). While ABS prevents wheel lock-up during hard braking, EBD ensures that braking force is distributed optimally between the front and rear wheels based on the vehicle load.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC): Equipped
Known in Toyota terms as Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), this system monitors steering input and wheel speed. If it detects a loss of traction or a skid, it automatically applies brakes to individual wheels to help the driver maintain control.
Hill Start Assist: Equipped
Hill Start Assist Control (HAC) prevents the vehicle from rolling backward when starting on an incline. It maintains brake pressure for approximately two seconds after the driver releases the brake pedal, allowing time to apply the throttle.
ISOFIX: Equipped
The second-row seats are equipped with ISOFIX child seat anchors and tether anchors. This provides a standardized and secure way to attach child safety seats directly to the vehicle's chassis rather than relying solely on seatbelts.
NCAP Safety Rating: 5 Star (ANCAP)
The Toyota Fortuner has historically maintained a 5-star rating from ANCAP (Australasian New Car Assessment Program). It scored high in adult occupant protection and child occupant safety due to its reinforced "GOA" (Global Outstanding Assessment) body structure.
