Test details:

The Toyota FJ Cruiser was introduced in the 2007 model year and is derived from the Toyota 4Runner. Frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Toyota as part of frontal crash test verification.

Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy’s head hit the B-pillar and roof rail.

Injury measures — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity. Head acceleration from the B-pillar/roof rail contact was low.

Additional features:

  • Side airbags: front and rear head curtain airbags and front seat-mounted torso airbags (standard beginning with 2008 models, optional in 2007 models)
  • Rollover sensor: designed to deploy the side curtain airbags, if equipped, in the event of an impending rollover (beginning with 2009 models)
  • Electronic stability control
  • Antilock brakes
  • Daytime running lights (optional)
