2025 Lexus NX 250

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is tightening its crash-test requirements for its coveted Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick+ awards, resulting in fewer winners for 2025.

Of 30 vehicles subject to the new test in the agency’s latest front crash evaluation, 22 rated good or acceptable.

Toyota is recalling approximately 41,000 examples of its Camry sedan, as well as NX and RX SUVs from its luxury arm Lexus, for a damaged seat belt.

The NX receives only minor updates for the 2025 model year and will go on sale in April 2024.
