Which Toyotas have adaptive cruise control?
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Toyota’s Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC), is available on virtually all modern Toyotas through Toyota Safety Sense. In practice, ACC is standard on many trims and optional on others depending on the model year and configuration. When shopping, verify ACC on the window sticker or official brochure for the exact model-year and trim.
Understanding Toyota Safety Sense and Adaptive Cruise Control
Adaptive Cruise Control is part of Toyota Safety Sense (TSS), a suite of driver-assistance features that has evolved across generations (notably TSS 2.0, 2.5, and the newer 3.0). DRCC uses radar and camera sensors to maintain a set following distance from the vehicle ahead and can adjust speed automatically. It is typically bundled with other features like Lane Tracing Assist and Pre-Collision with Pedestrian Detection, depending on the model year and trim.
How to confirm ACC on a given model/year
When evaluating a Toyota, check the official brochure, the vehicle’s build sheet, or the window sticker for Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (or Adaptive Cruise Control) under Safety Features. On many models, ACC comes as part of the Toyota Safety Sense package, which may require selecting a mid-to-high trim or a specific package.
Current Toyota models commonly equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control
Below are the major model groups where ACC is typically included in modern Toyotas. Availability may vary by year and trim, so always verify the exact configuration for the model you’re considering.
Passenger cars and crossovers
- Corolla (and Corolla Cross): ACC is commonly included as part of Toyota Safety Sense on most 2020s and newer trims.
- Camry: DRCC is standard on many trims and widely available across the lineup.
- Prius: ACC is typically standard across recent model years as part of Safety Sense.
- Corolla Cross: ACC is generally included with Safety Sense in recent years.
Across these passenger cars and crossovers, Adaptive Cruise Control is usually available by default on mid-to-high trims or as part of the Safety Sense package on recent model years. Always confirm with the dealer or official spec sheet for the exact year/trim you’re considering.
SUVs, vans, and trucks
- RAV4: DRCC is standard on most trims with Toyota Safety Sense 2.5/3.0 in recent years.
- Highlander: ACC is commonly included across the lineup, especially on newer model years.
- Sienna: DRCC is standard on current generation models as part of Safety Sense.
- Sequoia: DRCC is included on modern Sequoia trims with updated Safety Sense packages.
- 4Runner: ACC is typically available on newer trims when Safety Sense is included; availability can vary by year.
- Tacoma and Tundra: DRCC is available on newer trims/grades that include an upgraded Safety Sense package.
In the SUV and truck categories, ACC typically appears as part of the standard Safety Sense package on newer models or as an optional upgrade on certain trims. If you’re eyeing a specific year-and-trim, verify ACC on the official spec sheet or with a Toyota dealer.
Notes on model-year changes and trims
Toyota has continually updated Safety Sense across model years, moving towards standardizing ACC on more trims and introducing newer iterations (for example, 2.5 and 3.0 series). Because exact features shift with redesigns and mid-cycle updates, the most reliable way to confirm ACC is to check the current brochure or the build sheet for the exact model-year and trim you’re considering.
Summary
Adaptive Cruise Control is widely available across Toyota’s current lineup through Toyota Safety Sense, either as standard equipment or as an upgrade on many trims. From popular sedans like the Corolla and Camry to SUVs such as the RAV4 and Highlander, and into the brand’s trucks and vans, ACC is one of Toyota’s common driver-assistance features. If ACC is important to you, verify its inclusion on the exact model-year and trim before purchase, using the official brochure, dealer confirmation, or the window sticker.
