Which 2022 XT5 trim does Edmunds recommend?

The Luxury trim starts at a nice price, but it lacks features we'd expect for this level of luxury SUV. It's also limited to a single engine choice and offers no significant upgrade packages. So we recommend starting with the Premium Luxury for its broader feature set, available options, and choice of two engines.
