THE MOTORCALIBER REVIEW
MotorCaliber editorial Reviewed against NHTSA data 2026-07-02

The Lexus LX 600 is a full-size, body-on-frame luxury SUV that competes at the very top of the segment alongside vehicles like the Land Rover Defender and Cadillac Escalade. Riding on Toyota's TNGA-F platform, it targets affluent buyers who want genuine off-road capability wrapped in a premium cabin. It seats up to seven and carries serious towing credentials alongside its upscale positioning.

From a pure safety-data standpoint, the 2022-2025 Lexus LX 600 presents a picture that is genuinely thin on hard evidence - and shoppers deserve to know that upfront. NHTSA has not crash-tested this generation of the LX 600 across any of the model years we cover, meaning there are no star ratings, no frontal or side-impact scores, and no Safety Index to reference. For a vehicle that routinely asks six-figure prices, that absence of independent federal crash-test validation is worth noting. On the positive side, the LX 600 carries a spotless recall record across the 2022 through 2025 model years - zero recalls in that entire window. That is a genuinely strong result and reflects well on the production quality of a low-volume, high-investment platform. Owner complaints filed with NHTSA are also minimal, totaling just 21 across all covered years, with zero reported crashes, zero fires, zero injuries, and zero fatalities in that complaint pool. Those are unverified allegations, but the numbers are encouragingly low for any vehicle. The honest bottom line here is that the LX 600 has raised no red flags through recalls or injury-linked complaints, but the lack of crash-test data means safety-conscious buyers are working without a critical piece of the puzzle. If independent crash-test scores matter to you, this vehicle cannot currently deliver them.

WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally praise the LX 600 for its exceptionally refined and well-appointed interior, with high-grade materials and a serene ride quality that sets it apart in the full-size luxury SUV segment. Most find the driving dynamics composed if not sporty, and the off-road capability is broadly regarded as class-competitive. Some reviewers note the infotainment interface as a weakness relative to European rivals.

WHAT TO KNOW
  • NHTSA has not crash-tested the 2022-2025 LX 600 at all - there are no federal star ratings or Safety Index scores for this generation, leaving a significant gap in the independent safety-verification picture.
  • The LX 600 has a perfect recall record across the entire 2022-2025 window we cover, with zero recalls issued - a meaningful result for a flagship vehicle on a relatively new platform.
  • Owner complaints filed with NHTSA are very low at just 21 total across all covered years, and critically, none of those complaints involved a reported crash, fire, injury, or fatality. All complaints are unverified allegations.
  • Because this is a low-volume, premium-tier SUV that has not attracted federal crash-test attention, shoppers who prioritize verified crash-safety scores should also check whether IIHS has evaluated this model before making a purchase decision.
