003 Archivestop-rated luxury EV goes to Porsche for its new Taycan Cross Turismo.

That's according to auto research firm Edmunds with its Top Rated awards for 2022. This year's top list includes three battery-powered cars: the electric Porsche, the Tesla Model 3, and Rivian R1T.

The Taycan Cross Turismo is the newest EV from Porsche. It's part of the growing Taycan lineup, but with more of a station wagon vibe than sports car with its longer rear end. It's touted as a tougher EV that can off-road with performance features and can go zero to 60 mph in under five seconds. Its battery maxes out at about 200 miles of range on a charge.

Edmunds defines luxury as any vehicle over $50,000. The Cross Turismo starts at $90,900, while the standard Taycan is $79,900.

The Tesla Model 3 won the overall Top Rated EV title, while Rivian's electric truck was dubbed "Editors' Choice," a new honor that Edmunds said "recognizes a vehicle that exceeds expectations and offers something genuinely new in the market."

The R1T won MotorTrend's coveted "Truck of the Year" award earlier this week.

The full Top Rated list, which includes gas-powered vehicles, is available on Edmunds' website.
