Default side impact door beams

Hello, does 2018 RX come with side impact door beams? I can find this info for the 3d generation, but not for the 4th gen model.

The way I thought it works is the gov sets the standard for side impact intrusion and leaves it up to the manufacturer to meet it. I think most cars have impact beams in the doors.
