Performance Lexus Presents: Top 5 Safest Lexus Models for 2025

For drivers in Ohio, a vehicle’s safety is just as important as its performance and luxury. At Performance Lexus, we know that peace of mind is the ultimate premium feature. That’s why we’re proud to showcase the 2025 Lexus lineup, which continues to set the benchmark for safety in the luxury segment, earning top ratings from leading independent organizations like the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

For 2025, safety standards have become even tougher, with IIHS introducing new, more rigorous crash tests. Even with the higher bar, several Lexus models stand out as leaders in advanced protection and occupant safety. Here are our picks for the Top 5 safest Lexus models for 2025, each a testament to Lexus’s unwavering commitment to your well-being.

1. The 2025 Lexus RX

The Lexus RX has long been a favorite for families in Ohio, and for good reason. For 2025, it continues its legacy as a safety leader, earning an IIHS Top Safety Pick award. Furthermore, the Lexus RX has a stellar 5-Star Overall Safety Rating from the NHTSA, a direct result of its exceptional performance in a variety of crash tests.

The RX’s structural integrity is complemented by a suite of cutting-edge technology, including the full Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 suite. Its combination of robust build quality and sophisticated driver-assist technologies makes it a standout choice for anyone prioritizing safety.

2. The 2025 Lexus NX

The compact luxury SUV segment is highly competitive, but the 2025 Lexus NX rises above its peers with a commitment to safety that few can match. For 2025, the NX has earned a coveted IIHS Top Safety Pick award. This achievement is particularly notable given the new, tougher IIHS criteria, including more demanding crash-test evaluations and improved headlight requirements.

The NX’s proactive approach to safety is evident in every detail. Its advanced Pre-Collision System can detect not only vehicles and pedestrians but also bicyclists and motorcyclists, and it is complemented by an excellent set of standard safety features.
