ANALYSISHow safe is the 2022 Lexus UX 200?
The 2022 Lexus UX 200 stands out for an exceptionally clean defect record: zero recall campaigns have been issued. No components were flagged by the manufacturer or NHTSA, no remedies were issued, and no park-outside or do-not-drive advisories were attached to this vehicle. This underpins a near-perfect defect score of 19.25 out of a possible 20, a defining characteristic for the model year. The vehicle also scores 10 out of 10 for avoidance technology, reflecting standard forward collision warning, standard lane departure warning, and standard electronic stability control.

The one-point decline from the 2021 model year's 91/100 does not indicate a meaningful safety regression; it reflects the precision of the scoring model.
