Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC constantly compares the vehicle's movements with the steering wheel angle to determine if the vehicle is moving in the direction you intend.

Anti-locked Braking System (ABS)

If wheel 'lock up' is detected under forceful braking, ABS momentarily reduces brake pressure at the affected wheel(s). This improves braking efficiency.

Brake Assist (BA)

BA is designed to sense how fast you press the brake pedal in an emergency, and maximises braking pressure to optimise braking performance.

6 Airbags

For maximum protection in certain frontal collisions, Ute will deploy front airbags for the driver and passenger. Side impact airbags and side curtain airbags provide protection for passengers in certain side-on collisions.

5 Star ANCAP rating

Ute has been independently assessed by the Government-endorsed Australiasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP). After internationally recognised crash tests and analysis, every model in the range earned the maximum 5-star ANCAP safety rating.

With a raft of active safety features including Electornic Stability Control (ESC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brake Assist (EBA), the Ute also benefits from passive safety features. The reinforced passenger safety cell utilises ultra high strength steel to improve occupant safety in the event of an accident, as well as front and rear crumple zones.
