Test details:

The Lexus RX was redesigned for the 2010 model year. Frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Toyota as part of frontal crash test verification.

Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the roof rail grab handle above the driver door.

Injury measures — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
