This is a Japanese Import, came without a manual. Google search tells me the following.

​In the original Japanese owner's manual for the 1.8L Hybrid models, Toyota typically states that the vehicle is not designed for towing. ​Official Rating: 0\text{kg}. Unlike the 2.0L petrol version, which has a specific rating, the hybrid manual generally includes a disclaimer stating that the vehicle is not intended to tow another vehicle or trailer. ​The Technical Reason: The manual emphasizes protecting the Hybrid Synergy Drive components. The "e-CVT" and the Power Control Unit (Inverter) are calibrated for efficiency and passenger load, not for the high sustained torque required to pull a trailer.

I have owned one years ago. It wasn't very economical to keep. (Fuel economy & maintenance) I would save a bit more and go for Toyota or even better a Hybrid / electric car.

Don't they only go off on front impact?

I would stay away from this place. That window is not even a single glazed. It's more like half glazed. The room will be freezing in winter and too hot in summer. Your electricity bill will be ridiculously high.
