Advanced Safety Features of the 2024 Lexus NX Models

With its eye-catching style, comfortable cabin, and a range of powertrains to choose from, it's not surprising that so many new SUV shoppers are heading to their local Lexus dealer to learn about the 2024 Lexus NX. But the NX also features a long list of advanced safety features as part of its standard Lexus Safety System+ 3.0. Below, we'll explore a few of these advanced safety features.

2024 Lexus NX with Lexus Safety System+ 3.0

Lexus Safety System+, standard on all new Lexus vehicles, takes safety beyond protecting passengers in the event of a collision. This system monitors vehicle surroundings and alerts drivers to potential dangers. It can even automatically take corrective action to prevent or minimize a collision.

Pre-Collision System

This system monitors the road ahead for vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles and reacts with automatic braking and steering assistance if a potential collision is predicted. On the NX, this system can also warn the driver and apply the brakes if the driver makes a left turn in front of oncoming traffic.

Lane Assistance

The NX's lane assistance technologies include four separate systems designed to keep your vehicle in its lane. Lane Departure Alert can warn the driver if the vehicle drifts out of its lane unintentionally, while Steering Assist can use gentle corrective steering to pull the NX back into its lane. Lane Tracing Assist and Lane Keep Assist also work to keep the vehicle in its lane, with Lane Keep Assist working in conjunction with the cruise control system.

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control

This cruise control system goes beyond setting and maintaining your selected highway speed; it can monitor the vehicle ahead of you and help maintain a safe following distance, even bringing the vehicle to a stop if needed. The system can also detect curves in the road ahead and reduce speed if necessary.

More Information at Your Lexus Dealer

The NX's safety systems also include: Intelligent High Beams, which can toggle high beams on or off depending on whether there's an oncoming vehicle, Road Sign Assist that detects road signs and displays speed limit and other information inside your vehicle, and Proactive Driving Assist, which can provide braking and steering support around curves, and help maintain a safe following distance. All of these systems and more can all be best experienced at your local dealership.
