Glad to see Toyota kept the physical controls for the HVAC. I’m not a fan of having everything on a touch screen.
Congrats! Hope it gives you at least 18 years of trouble-free driving.
However, I was surprised to see a 3/5 crash rating for the driver in a frontal crash. Stay safe out there; lots of careless drivers on the road.

The Grand Highlander had some issues with that too…

That’s surprising. You’d think with all the new safety tech and materials, these bigger vehicles would perform better in crash tests.
TSS 2.0 on a 2025 model?

Yeah, that’s weird. A 2025 model still using TSS 2.0 instead of something newer like 2.5 or 3.0 feels like a step back. Wonder why Toyota didn’t upgrade it.
@Franklin
They probably reserve the upgrades for a complete redesign rather than a refresh.

Not always. Other models have received TSS upgrades during mid-cycle refreshes, like the Camry and Corolla. Even the Venza got an upgrade before it was discontinued.
@CorollaCrew3
Maybe they’re just holding out until the next full redesign.

Yeah, I was really hoping for an upgrade this time. TSS 2.0 feels outdated for a 2025 model.
Same 12-inch instrument cluster as the RAV4.

Yep, and it’s also in the Venza, Crown Signia, and Grand Highlander.
Why does the driver have a low frontal crash rating? That seems odd.
No pictures of the exterior?

It looks pretty much the same as the previous model.
I wonder when we’ll see these in Atlantic Canada.
Is that a new RAV4 in the background? And is that a Lexus too?

Looks like a Prius on the left and a Mirai on the right.
Not a fan of the instrument panel. Maybe I’m old school, but it just looks cheap to me.
