The updated Lexus RX range has been awarded 5-stars by the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP).
The updated Lexus RX range was launched in October 2015 with the safety rating being awarded to all variants across the range.
“The RX joins a competitive SUV market and offers a range of safety assist technologies as standard, including AEB, lane support system and reverse collision avoidance,” ANCAP CEO Mr James Goodwin said.
“These new technologies can help avoid a crash in the first place and so we would urge consumers to look for a car with not only good structural performance, but with features to potentially prevent a collision,” he said.
“It’s encouraging to see the Lexus achieve the highest pedestrian protection rating of ‘good’, scoring maximum points for the protection provided to pedestrian’s legs and pelvic region,” he said.
“In the frontal offset test the passenger compartment of the RX held its shape well and all doors remained closed and there was good protection for the driver in the side impact test,” Mr Goodwin said.
