ANALYSISHow safe is the 2026 Lexus UX 300h?
The 2026 Lexus UX 300h holds its Safety Index at 91/100, matching the 2025 model exactly, which means the Exceptional rating was not a one-year anomaly but has been sustained across consecutive model years. What distinguishes the 2026 specifically is the completeness of its federal data picture at this stage: a five-star overall NHTSA crash rating is already on record, the avoidance-tech sub-score is a perfect 10/10 with forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control all standard, and the defect sub-score is a perfect 20/20 driven by zero recall campaigns. The crash-protection sub-score of 61/70 reflects the four-star results in frontal and rollover categories, which prevent a higher crash-protection tally despite the dominant side-crash performance. The 14 percent rollover risk figure and the No Tip dynamic result add useful context: the rollover four-star rating is not a borderline outcome. For a current-model-year vehicle, the absence of any complaints is expected, but the absence of any recalls is a genuine data point worth noting.
