Lexus RX
The Lexus RX literally created the luxury crossover category in 1998. Its dimensions haven’t changed over the years and today it’s in its third generation. Its shape was modernized in 2012, but there’s still a hybrid version (RX 450h) and a F Sport version, that swaps the six-speed automatic transmission for an eight-speed. Among the numerous accolades won by the RX, J.D. Power named it the most dependable vehicle.
