2020 Toyota Corolla Safety Ratings

When searching for the right sedan for Avon, Indianapolis, and Plainfield commutes, we know that efficiency and comfort are going to be concerns. However, safety is equally—and, in some cases, more—important.

The 2020 Toyota Corolla is a sedan that provides a lot of peace of mind, and it has the safety ratings to prove it. Therefore, the Andy Mohr Toyota team has written this review just to show you.

2020 Corolla Safety Awards

To determine just how safe a vehicle is, it must go through rigorous crash testing.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) are both regarded as leading safety authorities. Their crash tests are thorough enough to truly put a car to task.

So, it really says something that the Toyota Corolla has been awarded both a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating from the NHTSA and a 2019 TOP SAFETY PICK from the IIHS.

Safety Structure

The first ingredient that helps the Corolla earn these awards is its rigid safety structure, which employs the following reinforcements:

• Front and rear energy-absorbing crumple zones
• Side-impact door beams
• Head-impact protection structure
• High-tensile-strength steel body panels
• Energy-absorbing collapsible steering column

With all these different fortifications in place, the Corolla interior is uniquely suited to absorb some collision forces while rebuffing others—and that means that passengers avoid the worst of them.

The Star Safety System™

Optimized handling is something of a necessity if you intend to stay safely on course, even when the roads are less than pleasant. Fortunately, the Corolla comes with the Star Safety System™. This is comprised of the following features:

• Vehicle Stability Control
• Traction Control
• Electronic Brake-force Distribution
• Brake Assist
• Smart Stop Technology

The first couple features in this suite work to reduce wheelspin and smartly distribute power to your wheels. This ensures that you maintain wheel grip on slick roads.

The other features optimize your stopping power, so your brakes are equally responsive and effective no matter what your stopping conditions are.

2020 Toyota Corolla Smart Safety

The Star Safety System™ is definitely effective; however, the 2020 Corolla also features a suite of intuitive safety technology called Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0 (TSS 2.0).

TSS 2.0 utilizes cameras and sensors to monitor the road around you. If it senses impending collisions at any time, it can either send warnings or act autonomously to prevent them.

This smart and self-sufficient system is no replacement for driver judgment. However, it can heighten your awareness in an exceptionally valuable way—and this is all thanks to the following features:

• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
• Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist and Road Edge Detection
• Automatic High Beams
• Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
