When it comes to the luxury vehicle segment, consumers expect more than just elegance and power; they seek long-lasting, uncompromising reliability. Premium SUVs and crossovers are the embodiment of style, offering sophisticated design, dynamic engines and interiors wrapped in high-quality materials. But behind the shine of chrome and the scent of expensive leather, a key factor in choosing an expensive companion remains its durability.
This is where the authoritative ranking of TopSpeed experts comes to the rescue, who presented their analysis of the ten most reliable models in the premium segment for 2025.
At the absolute top of this year's ranking, the Lexus RX 350 crossover (model year 2026) shines. With an impressive reliability rating of 8.4 out of 10, the RX 350 firmly establishes Toyota's reputation for unwavering quality. Under the hood beats a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder turbocharged engine - known for Toyota's durability - that generates up to 275 hp. This powerful engine works in perfect sync with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and the model offers a choice of front-wheel drive or reliable all-wheel drive.
Right behind the leader, but with an identical score of 8.4, is the impressive SUV Lexus GX 550 (model year 2025). This sturdy model is based on the fundamental platform of the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 250, which in itself speaks to its potential robustness. Although it is a newer entrant to the market and its turbo engines have yet to prove their long-term reliability in real conditions, the GX 550 is starting with strong confidence from analysts.
The honorable top three is worthily completed by the elegant Acura RDX crossover (model year 2026). Honda's premium sub-brand deservedly receives a rating of 8.3 for reliability. The RDX is equipped with an agile 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that provides an energetic 272 hp, coupled with a precise ten-speed automatic transmission. Although the standard drive is front-wheel drive, the option for Acura Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) adds additional security and dynamics.
