Toyota's Safety Sense active safety features can protect loved ones by reducing accident severity and preventing accidents. An active safety system that is standard on the 2021 Toyota C-HR is Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD). There are optional safety features on the 2021 Toyota C-HR which may add to the cost but should be strongly considered --- Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/SA) and Blind Spot Monitor.

Another advanced safety feature --- while not cutting edge --- can still improve vehicle safety. Standard side mirror turn signals alert others of your intention to turn or switch lanes allowing them to react accordingly, which can prevent accidents caused by not seeing a vehicle in the blind spot.
