The Lexus UX crossover has scored the maximum 5-star vehicle safety rating in the latest Euro NCAP test results. Here we have a video of the simulated crashes:
Rated with 96% adult occupant protection score and 85% child occupant protection score, the UX is one of the highest ranked cars to be tested. The crossover’s automated emergency braking also boasts an 82% score for pedestrian and cyclist protection.
Featuring the latest version of Lexus Safety System +, the brand’s advanced package of active safety technologies, the new Lexus crossover also boasts outstanding passive safety credentials resulting from its ultra-rigid Global Architecture-C platform and 8 airbags fitted as standard.
This second generation of Lexus Safety System + incorporates several new features to help prevent or mitigate accidents. These include daytime cyclist detection and now also night-time pedestrian detection as part of the enhanced Pre-Collision System (PCS). Dynamic Radar Cruise Control and Lane Tracing Assist provide SAE level-2 automated driving support – aiming at reducing driver operation while remaining in control of the vehicle.
