BMW X3 Crash test vs Lexus NX Crash Tests Euro NCAP
Tested Model Lexus NX 350h
Body Type - 5 door SUV
Year Of Publication 2022
Kerb Weight 1810kg
VIN From Which Rating Applies - all NXs
Class Small Off-Road
The passenger compartment of the NX remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy numbers showed good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger. Lexus showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions. Apart from the driver’s chest, protection of which was rated as marginal, based on readings of chest compression, all body critical body areas of both front row dummies were well protected. Analysis of the deceleration of the impact trolley during the test, and analysis of the deformable barrier after the test, revealed that the NX would be a moderately benign impact partner in a frontal collision. In the full-width rigid barrier test, good or adequate protection was provided to all critical body areas for both the driver and rear passenger. In the side barrier test, protection of all critical body areas was good and the car scored maximum
points in this part of the assessment. In the more severe side pole impact, protection of the chest was adequate and that of other parts of the body was good. Control of excursion (the extent to which a body is thrown to the other side of the vehicle when it is hit from the far
side) was found to be adequate. The NX has a countermeasure to mitigate against occupant-to-occupant injuries in such impacts and, while this performed well in Euro NCAP's test, Lexus did not provide additional information to demonstrate that the performance was robust
and symmetrical. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric analysis of the rear seats also indicated good whiplash protection. The NX has an advanced eCall system which alerts the emergency services in the event of a crash. The car also has a system which applies the brakes after an impact, to avoid secondary collisions.

General comments
The passenger compartment of the X3 remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger. BMW showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different positions. All critical body regions of the passenger dummy were well protected in this test. In the full-width rigid barrier impact, protection of both the driver and rear passenger was good or adequate, except the chest of the rear dummy, protection of which was rated as marginal, based on chest compression. The X3 scored maximum points in the side barrier test, with good
protection of all critical body areas. The X4 also provided good protection to all critical body regions in this test. In the more severe side pole test, dummy readings of rib compression indicated marginal protection, while that of other body areas was good. In the pole test of
the X4, protection of all critical parts of the body was good. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injury in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats also indicated good whiplash
protection. The autonomous emergency braking system scored maximum points in tests of its functionality at the low speeds at which many whiplash injuries are caused, with collisions avoided at all test speeds.
