Do you value safety in your vehicle? If so, you're not alone. Toyota knows that it's important to imbue their vehicles with as much safety as possible. It's the reason why they developed the Toyota Star Safety System, a continuously-evolving suite of safety features that help keep drivers safe. This dedication to safety has allowed Toyota to lead the automotive industry for years, and the fact that the company recently took home a total of ten "Top Safety Pick" awards from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety proves it.

Which models wowed the IIHS? The 2012 Toyota Avalon, Camry, Corolla, Highlander, Prius, Prius v, Sienna, Tundra, Venza, and Yaris each took home the title. These models span a wide range of classes, budgets, and styles, which proves that safety is important no matter what kind of vehicle you buy.

Of course, it wasn't just the addition of the Toyota Star Safety System that earned these models the "Top Safety Pick" award. Rather, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety carefully examines how features like these help each specific vehicle in the event of an accident. That means that they test front, side, rear, and rollover crashes quite stringently. And as a final measure of a vehicle's readiness, it must feature Electronic Stability Control as a standard feature in order to win the "Top Safety Pick" title, no matter how well it performs.

That said, you can rest assured that the Toyota vehicles at 3300 W Deyoung in Marion, IL pack Electronic Stability Control, and much more in the Toyota Star Safety System.
