ANALYSISHow safe is the 2019 Lexus UX 250h?
The 2019 Lexus UX 250h is the launch year for this nameplate, which means no prior-year Safety Index exists for comparison. That context makes the 88/100 Strong-band debut all the more notable: it is built on a crash protection score of 61 out of 70, an avoidance technology score of 7 out of 10, and a perfect 20 out of 20 on the defect record component. That maximum defect score reflects the zero recalls and zero complaints that define this specific model year. The five-star overall NHTSA rating anchors the crash protection figure, though the four-star frontal and four-star rollover results prevent a higher ceiling. Forward collision warning and electronic stability control are both standard on this configuration, contributing to the avoidance tech score, while the absence of standard lane departure warning holds that sub-score below its potential maximum. Taken together, this first-year entry established a strong safety baseline, with its clean defect record being the single most distinguishing characteristic of the 2019 model year specifically.
NCAP // CRASH TESTHow did the 2019 Lexus UX 250h perform in crash tests?
