For many Australians, getting in and out of a vehicle isn't always as easy as it once was. Whether it's due to age, recovering from surgery, living with a disability or simply reduced mobility, even everyday journeys can become more challenging than they should be.
To help make driving and travelling more accessible, Toyota Australia has introduced a new range of Genuine Assisted Mobility Solutions.
Available through Toyota dealerships across the country, these practical accessories are designed to make entering, exiting and travelling in your vehicle easier, while helping people maintain their independence without the need for extensive vehicle modifications.
Rather than requiring permanent changes to your vehicle, Toyota's new range focuses on simple, high-quality accessories that provide extra support where it's needed most.
Engineered to Toyota's standards for quality, safety and durability, the range is designed to integrate into everyday life while remaining easy to use and transport between compatible Toyota vehicles.
Here's a closer look at the five products now available.
The Assist Handle provides a sturdy support point to help people lower themselves into a seat or push themselves back up when exiting the vehicle.
It's particularly useful for anyone who experiences reduced leg strength, balance issues or joint stiffness, helping make each trip more comfortable and controlled.
The Assist Strap attaches securely inside the vehicle to provide an additional handhold when getting in or out.
For people who find it difficult to steady themselves during entry or exit, the strap offers extra confidence and stability without permanently altering the vehicle.
Twisting into a vehicle seat can be uncomfortable for people with hip, knee or lower back pain.
The Swivel Assist Cushion helps reduce the amount of twisting required by allowing the user to rotate more easily into position before lifting their legs into the vehicle.
It's an ideal solution for people recovering from surgery or anyone living with ongoing mobility limitations.
Passengers often have fewer support points available than the driver.
The Rear Assist Handle provides additional assistance for rear-seat passengers entering or exiting the vehicle, making everyday travel easier for family members, friends or carers who require a little extra support.
Reaching across to grab a seatbelt can be difficult for people with limited shoulder movement or reduced upper-body flexibility.
The Seatbelt Assist extends the reach of the seatbelt, making it easier to grasp while helping users buckle up more comfortably and independently.
One of the biggest advantages of Toyota's Assisted Mobility Solutions is their simplicity.
Rather than requiring expensive or permanent vehicle conversions, these genuine accessories are designed to provide practical support using straightforward products that can make a noticeable difference to everyday driving and passenger comfort.
Many of the accessories are also transportable, allowing them to move between compatible Toyota vehicles when needed.
Toyota has designed the Assisted Mobility Solutions range to work across most Toyota passenger cars, SUVs and 4WD models, making them a practical option for many existing Toyota owners.
If you're unsure whether a particular accessory is suitable for your vehicle, your local Toyota dealership can help confirm compatibility and recommend the most appropriate solution for your needs.
Choosing the right mobility solution is about finding what works best for your individual circumstances.
The team at Motorama Toyota can walk you through Toyota's Genuine Assisted Mobility Solutions, explain how each product works, check compatibility with your vehicle and provide advice on fitment.
Whether you're looking for support for yourself, a family member or someone you care for, we're here to help you find a solution that makes everyday travel that little bit easier.
