The XC90 runs on an inter-cooled turbo premium I-4 engine that produces up to 250 horsepower. In addition to being one of the best luxurious hybrids, the XC90 is also extremely reliable, which makes it one of the best options on the market for the 2022 model year, and the fact that it is packed with enough safety features makes it a great choice for those who prioritize safety over every other factor.
8. Lexus LX
The LX is arguably one of the best-selling Lexus vehicles, and that’s due to the versatility of the vehicle coupled with lots of amazing performance features. From a glance, you’ll realize how powerful the Lexus LX is, and the 2022 model is designed so beautifully that it may be hard to guess if it can be taken off-road. The 2022 LX pairs an advanced 10-speed electronically controlled Direct-Shift automatic transmission with paddle shifters to a 3.5-liter V6 engine that is capable of producing 409 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque.

Safety features include the Intuitive Parking Assist, Blind Spot Monitor with Rear-Cross Traffic Alert, and Hill-start Assist Control. Starting price for the 2022 Lexus LX is $88,245.
