Which Toyota models have advanced park assist?
In brief, advanced parking assist is available on a growing portion of Toyota’s lineup, typically bundled as Intelligent Parking Assist or Park Assist in higher trims and in select markets. Availability varies by model year and region. This article explains what the feature is, where it’s commonly offered, and how to verify if a specific Toyota model has it.
What is Toyota’s advanced parking technology?
Toyota’s advanced parking technology combines camera imagery and sensor data to help you park, sometimes steering the wheel or applying braking to complete a space. In many markets it’s branded as Intelligent Parking Assist (IPA) or Park Assist, and in some regions it appears as Parking Support Brake or similar names. The feature is typically offered on higher trims or as part of a safety or technology package, and it may support parallel or perpendicular parking as well as basic steering guidance and collision-avoidance braking at very low speeds.
How it works
Most systems use a combination of ultrasonic and radar sensors plus multi-camera views to detect available spaces, obstacles, and parking boundaries. When activated, the system can provide visual guidance, adjust steering through the process, and in some cases automatically brake to avoid a collision. Exact capabilities—such as which spaces it can handle (parallel vs perpendicular) and whether the driver must supervise or the system can complete the parking autonomously—vary by model and market.
Models commonly offered with advanced parking assist
The following models have been known to offer advanced parking assist in recent years, though exact availability depends on market, year, and trim level.
- RAV4 (commonly available on higher trims or packages that include Toyota Safety Sense or Intelligent Parking Assist)
- Highlander (and the related Grand Highlander in newer years, typically on mid-to-high trims)
- Sienna (minivan variants with higher trims or Safety Sense packages)
- Camry (select trims with parking assist features)
- Corolla Cross (availability tends to be limited to higher trims in some markets)
- Prius / Prius Prime (availability varies by year and market)
Note: This list is indicative and depends on year, trim, and regional market. For a definitive answer, consult Toyota’s official configuration sheets or your local dealer for your specific vehicle and VIN.
How to verify for your Toyota model
Use these steps to confirm whether your exact model and trim include advanced parking assist.
- Check the owner's manual for a section on Intelligent Parking Assist, Park Assist, or Parking Support features.
- Visit Toyota’s official regional website or the country-specific configurator for your model to see if IPA or related features are listed for your trim.
- Look at the vehicle’s window sticker or build sheet (Monroney) for Safety Sense, Intelligent Parking Assist, or Parking Assist terminology.
- Ask your Toyota dealer to confirm availability for your VIN; they can verify feature inclusion in Toyota’s database.
- Request a hands-on demonstration or test-drive with a dealer to see how the system operates in practice on your preferred model and trim.
Verifying through official sources helps ensure you’re getting the exact feature set for your region and year, since availability frequently changes with updates to Safety Sense packages and model refreshes.
Regional differences and branding
Toyota markets its parking assistance differently across regions. In North America, the system is often branded as Intelligent Parking Assist (IPA) and may be bundled with other Safety Sense features. In Europe and other regions, similar functionality may appear under the Park Assist or Parking Assist naming, sometimes with different levels of automation and user supervision requirements. Availability and naming can shift with model-year updates and market-specific packaging.
Names and availability by market
Because branding and packaging vary, the same model may show IPA in one region and a different Park Assist variant in another. Always check the local specifications for your country or region to confirm exact naming, capabilities, and trim-level requirements.
Summary
Advanced parking assist in Toyota’s lineup is expanding, but it is not universal across all models or trims. The feature tends to appear on mid-to-high trims and may be part of Safety Sense or technology packages. If you’re evaluating a Toyota for this capability, verify through the official regional site, the dealer, and the vehicle’s build sheet for the exact year, trim, and VIN to confirm availability. As Toyota updates its Safety Sense packages, the set of models offering advanced parking assist can change from year to year.
