ANALYSISHow safe is the 2025 Lexus RX 350h?
The 2025 Lexus RX 350h marks a one-point gain over the 2024 model, moving the NHTSA Safety Index from 90 to 91 out of 100, both within the Exceptional band. What distinguishes this specific model year is the combination of a perfect defect-record sub-score of 20 out of 20, driven by zero recall campaigns, and a full avoidance-technology score of 10 out of 10, reflecting standard fitment of forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control across the lineup. Crash protection contributes 61 of a possible 70 points, anchored by that five-star overall NHTSA rating. The slight gap from a perfect crash-protection score traces to the 4-star frontal and 4-star rollover results. With only one unverified owner complaint on file, the complaint signal is essentially absent for this model year, which is notable for a vehicle that has been in consumer hands long enough to generate feedback. Taken together, the 2025 data profile is defined less by any single dramatic result and more by consistency across all three safety pillars.
