Safety Tests

Lexus vehicles are consistently ranked among the safest in their class

Lexus design and technology applies as much to safety as it does to style and comfort. With an array of features that keep you out of trouble, and still others that protect you and your passengers, you will always feel confident in a Lexus.

Every new Lexus vehicle design undergoes rigorous computer simulated crash tests before a prototype is built. This ensures that body construction will provide optimum protection even before road testing begins.

Lexus body structures incorporate both current and anticipated crash test standards for North America, Japan and Europe. As a result, Lexus boasts one of the strictest crash test criteria standards in the industry - Global Outstanding Assessment (GOA).

As an example, in offset front-end collision tests, the accepted European standard is 56 km/h. To push our vehicles further, all Lexus models are tested at 60 km/h which produces 15 percent more impact energy.

Lexus vehicles are consistently ranked among the safest in their class in independent tests conducted by the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

At Lexus, design, technology and safety are inseparable. The tests just serve to prove it.
