Five Star Overall Vehicle Score for Safety
The Lexus NX200t and Lexus NX300h are renowned for their advanced safety features, earning a five-star overall vehicle score for safety from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in 2015. This accolade highlights the commitment to safety and innovation that Lexus embodies.
To help you change lanes with confidence, the available Blind Spot Monitor is designed to detect and warn you of vehicles approaching or positioned in the adjacent lanes. For added confidence, the Rear Cross-Traffic Alert can assist when backing out of a parking space by notifying you of vehicles approaching from either side. These features are optional on the NX 200t F SPORT, NX 300h, and NX 200t models.
One of the most impressive features of this innovative airbag system is the driver’s and front passenger’s advanced airbag system (SRS). The front-passenger seat is designed to detect whether the seat is occupied by an adult, a child, or is vacant. If the system detects a child or an empty passenger seat, it prevents the passenger’s front, side, and knee airbags from deploying. The front passenger’s airbag features two chambers, creating an indentation in the center impact area that helps provide occupant protection in a severe frontal collision. This system is standard on the NX 200t F SPORT, NX 300h, and NX 200t models.
Brake Assist
In some instances, drivers fail to push the brake pedal hard enough to engage the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). Brake Assist* senses a panic-stop scenario by judging how quickly and how forcefully the driver hits the brake pedal, automatically applying increased braking boost until the driver releases pedal pressure.
Standard On: NX 200t F SPORT, NX 300h, NX 200t
INTUITIVE PARKING ASSIST*
Intuitive Parking Assist utilizes inconspicuous sensors integrated into the front, rear and corners of the bumpers that are designed to detect surrounding objects. Using audible tones and an indicator on the multimedia display, the system can notify you of a detected object’s location and proximity, helping with routine tasks like parallel parking.
Optional On: NX 200t F SPORT,NX 300h,NX 200t

STRUCTURAL SAFETY
The NX was engineered with a highly rigid body structure featuring front and rear crumple zones, side-impact door beams, reinforcements in pillars and door sills, impact-dissipating upper interior trim, a collapsible steering column, and a collapsible brake pedal. These structural safety features are standard on the NX 200t F SPORT, NX 300h, and NX 200t models.
