One generation is stronger than one generation. How do you tell which generation Toyota TSS active safety system is?

Toyota’s key word in recent years is definitely the TNGA architecture that most of its future cars will use. Recently, many models have been born from this highly scalable architecture. , And most importantly, Toyota uses this architecture to realize the modular design, production and assembly of safety systems. For consumers, the more active safety equipment, the better.

Toyota’s active safety system is called Toyota Safety Sense, which is simply the TSS system. This system uses cameras, radars and vehicle ECUs to know the surrounding environment and current vehicle status , Through warnings and driving intervention to avoid accidents, the ultimate goal is to make driving safer

Regarding the working logic and specific performance of the active safety system, we will not go into details. You can see that all the consumers who have bought new-era TNGA-based models with TSS systems have given unanimous praise. Many friends around me who have bought new cars have said that driving has indeed become safer, and this auxiliary system can indeed help. busy. ·

Today I want to say that many people may have noticed that in Toyota’s promotion, there are several brand-new models such as the new Corolla in the promotion of safety systems. Many people were surprised by the name TSS 2.0. Why did the system have version 2.0 not long after it was released? Is it a gimmick or is the original system flawed? This is worthy of careful study.

For the TSS 1.0 system, it is divided into the basic function TSS-C and the more comprehensive TSS-P overseas, the main function is PCS pre-collision safety, LDA lane Yaw warning, AHB automatic far and near beam and DRCC dynamic radar cruise. According to the assembly of these two systems, consumers can enjoy different safety assistance systems. In China, there is no such detailed classification. Most of the models built on the TNGA platform are equipped with an auxiliary system that can be collectively referred to as TSS 1.0.

and TSS 2.0 is currently mainly installed on Corolla and new RAV4 models in China. These models without exception have a feature, which is better than models equipped with TSS 1.0 system. The release time is late. In addition to the all-round upgrade of the existing functions, the 2.0 system has the most important addition of the LTA lane tracking assist function. This system can keep the car in the center of the lane when there is a lane, but when there is no lane. Follow the vehicle in front when you can judge.

In summary, TSS 1.0 is the first generation system product of Toyota TSS, this set The system can have two different branch systems, C and P. With the advancement and evolution of technology, the functions of TSS allow new models to enjoy the re-evolved TSS 2.0 system with more functions and more mature logic. Personally, I feel that when the models equipped with TSS 1.0 are upgraded in the Chinese market in the future, there is a great chance that newer TSS 2.0 or even TSS 3.0 systems will be seen on the modified models.

So how should we consider the selection now? I think consumers don’t need to be too entangled in this aspect, because in fact, TSS 1.0 and 2.0 currently do not co-exist in the same car, and it is not determined by consumer options. As a safety system, TSS 1.0 is much better than models of the same level. No matter how you choose it, you will not suffer.
