Toyota Australia has introduced a new range of Assisted Mobility Solutions genuine accessories. The Japanese brand describes it as a first for the Australian automotive market.
The products are designed to help people who require mobility support by making it easier to get into, out of and travel in a vehicle. The initiative forms part of Toyota’s broader commitment to improving accessible transport and promoting mobility for all.
Responding to a growing need for mobility support
Toyota notes that more than 5.5 million Australians, who represent over 21% of the population, identify as people with disabilities.
Many Australians also experience everyday movement challenges without access to practical, vehicle-integrated support beyond products offered by specialist providers.
Simply getting into or out of a vehicle can be one of the biggest obstacles to travelling independently for some people.
What’s included in the Assisted Mobility Solutions range?
The new accessory range is available through Toyota’s nationwide dealer network and includes:
- Assist handle
- Assist strap
- Swivel assist cushion
- Rear assist handle
- Seatbelt assist
Each product is designed to provide practical support and make everyday vehicle access and movement easier. Toyota says the accessories have been developed with usability as a priority.
Its key characteristics include: simple operation, easy portability, and compatibility with most Toyota models. The aim is to allow mobility support to be incorporated into everyday driving routines without unnecessary complexity.

The products are also engineered to Toyota’s standards for quality, safety, reliability, and durability.
What does Toyota have to say?
Toyota Australia Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Franchise Operations, John Pappas, said, “We know everyday movement can be challenging for many, so our team’s focus is on introducing a range of products designed to provide people with diverse mobility needs with the tools to keep moving with confidence and make a meaningful difference in their daily lives.”
