ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Lexus Tx 500h?
The 2024 Lexus TX 500h achieves an 84/100 Strong rating in the NHTSA Safety Index, a debut for this model year. This score is particularly notable for its defect record: an 18 out of 20 points, attributed entirely to the absence of any recall campaigns. Crash-avoidance technology also earns a perfect 10 out of 10, reflecting standard inclusion of forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control. However, the crash protection score of 56 out of 70 points warrants closer examination due to incomplete NHTSA testing. Frontal and side protection categories remain unrated by NHTSA for this model year. The only completed crash metric is a 4-star rollover rating, showing a 17 percent risk and a no-tip dynamic result. While a valid data point, this single test cannot fully represent the vehicle's overall crashworthiness without the corresponding frontal and side impact assessments. The 39 owner complaints filed against the TX 500h are another area of concern, with Air Bags accounting for 17 of these unverified allegations. This pattern in complaint data, especially regarding airbags, is worth monitoring, though no recall investigation has been announced.
NCAP // CRASH TESTHow did the 2024 Lexus Tx 500h perform in crash tests?

An overall NHTSA star rating is not available for this model.
