The 2022 Lincoln Navigator is one of the best luxury SUVs with great safety ratings

Some of the best luxury SUVs have excellent crash test ratings. Take the 2022 Lincoln Navigator.

Car and Driver says that the 2022 Land Rover Range Rover has “legendary off-road capabilities, high levels of luxury, and a staggering array of options.” The 2022 Land Rover Range Rover starts at $93,350.

The 2022 Infiniti QX80 is a (relatively) affordable luxury SUV

Out of all the SUVs on Car and Driver’s top 13 luxury SUVs, the 2022 Infiniti QX80 is the cheapest option. Cheap for one of the best luxury SUVs doesn’t necessarily mean budget, though. The 2022 Infiniti QX80 price starts at $71,995. Still, if you want a luxury three-row SUV, you might be pleased with the 2022 QX80.

Each of these SUVs offers a compelling reason to buy them. Whether you want a fast luxury SUV, an off-road worthy option, or something with great safety ratings, the best luxury SUVs of 2022 have something for everyone – with a lot of money to spend, anyway.
