What Is the Lexus LX Safety Rating?

Lexus is a consistent highly ranked manufacturer when it comes to safety. Their vehicles often are awarded safety accolades from organizations such as the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) and NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration).

While no safety ratings are currently released for the 2022 Lexus LX, we predict this vehicle will also rank as high as its siblings thanks to the advanced safety system that comes standard on the Lexus LX: Lexus Safety System+ 2.5.

What Makes the Lexus LX a Safe SUV?

Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 is a suite of safety features offered with the Lexus LX. This suite uses advanced sensors, monitors, and a built-in camera to constantly monitor a range around your SUV. As a result, you constantly have a co-pilot always providing a second set of eyes.

Six different features work together to provide 360 degrees of safety monitoring. Some of these features include:

• Forward monitoring system that checks for other vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists
• Lane-keeping system that alerts you when unintentional drifting is detected
• Mild lane steering assistance to help you stay centered in the lane
• Traffic sign recognition so you always know the signs ahead of you

This system is also complete with Intelligent High Beams to help illuminate dark roads without the need to take your hands off the wheel, as well as All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control so you can always maintain a safe travel distance between you and the vehicle ahead.

Other Lexus LX Safety Features

The Lexus LX is so committed to safety that it doesn't end with the intuitive Lexus Safety System+ 2.5. It takes safety one step further by offering additional safety features, such as Blind Spot Monitoring.

Changing lanes is a breeze with the Blind Spot Monitor on your side. You'll receive an alert when a vehicle is detected in your vehicle's blind spot. This system works in tandem with the Rear Cross-Traffic Alert feature that makes backing out of a parking spot easier than expected.

When the unexpected does occur, the Lexus LX provides safety measures to help reduce the severity of a collision thanks to Lexus Safety Connect. This standard system can request emergency assistance to your location thanks to the built-in GPS feature. You can also press the Emergency Assistance Button (SOS) at any time to connect with a 24/7 call center.
