Lexus Tx 350
NHTSA safety across every Lexus Tx 350 model year we cover.
Across the 3 model years of the Lexus Tx 350 we cover (2024 to 2026), the strongest crash-test showing is the 2025 at 91 on the NHTSA Safety Index, and the lowest is the 2024 at 84. 3 recalls have been issued across those years.
The Lexus TX 350 is a three-row luxury midsize SUV introduced for the 2024 model year, aimed squarely at upscale families who want premium cabin quality and a composed driving experience without sacrificing practicality. It sits at the heart of Lexus's expanding SUV lineup, competing in a segment where safety credentials matter as much as refinement. The TX 350 is built for buyers who expect more from both their commute and their crash protection.
The Lexus TX 350 earns a strong safety standing at MotorCaliber, peaking at a 91 out of 100 NHTSA Safety Index for the 2025 model year, a score that lands in our Exceptional band. Crash-test performance is the headline story here. The TX 350 posts a perfect five stars in side impact protection, which is the test that most closely predicts real-world occupant survival in common intersection crashes. Frontal and rollover ratings both come in at four out of five stars, which is respectable but worth noting for shoppers who prioritize that last margin of protection. Neither rating is a weakness, but the side-impact dominance is the clear strength of this vehicle's safety profile. Perhaps equally impressive is the recall record: zero recalls across both the 2024 and 2025 model years covered here. For a nameplate that is still relatively new to market, that is a meaningful signal of manufacturing discipline. Owner complaints total 63 across the covered years, a moderate figure for a vehicle of this size and sales volume. Among those, three complaints reference crashes and two reference injuries. All complaint data represents unverified allegations, and no fatalities are reported. The TX 350's overall safety picture is genuinely compelling. Shoppers cross-shopping luxury three-row SUVs will find the TX 350's combination of a near-flawless recall record and Exceptional Safety Index difficult to dismiss.
WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally regard the Lexus TX 350 as a polished and well-rounded luxury family SUV, praising its premium interior quality, smooth ride character, and composed handling for a vehicle of its size. Most acknowledge it as a strong entry into the three-row luxury segment, though some note that the third-row space and cargo practicality invite comparison to larger rivals.
- The TX 350 earns a 91 out of 100 NHTSA Safety Index for 2025, placing it in the Exceptional band, which is among the strongest scores in the luxury midsize SUV segment.
- Side-impact crash protection is the TX 350's standout result, with a five out of five star NHTSA rating, meaning it performs at the highest measured level in one of the most consequential real-world crash scenarios.
