Are you in the market for a new luxury convertible? Today, we’ll count down the top seven best luxury convertibles for 2022, according to  U. S News. Luxury brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Lexus, and Audi make the list, and a surprise Chevrolet takes the top spot.

#1. 2022 Chevrolet Corvette

The 2022 Chevrolet Corvette comes in at the top of U.S. News’ list of the best luxury convertibles for 2022. U.S. News even gave the new Corvette an overall rating of 9.1-out-of-10. The 2022 Corvette convertible carries a suggested retail starting price of $68,400. Adding optional equipment increases the cost, but the Corvette convertible remains an affordable member of the luxury sports car segment. 

Powering the mid-engine rear-wheel-drive Chevy Corvette is a 6.2-liter V8 engine that produces 490 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque on premium pump gasoline. Adding the performance exhaust package gains 5 horsepower and 5 pound-feet of torque. An automatic transmission is the only option.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto top the list of standard features connected to a 10-speaker stereo system. Digital displays include an 8-inch touch screen and a 12-inch digital instrument cluster. The newest Corvette also features a Wi-Fi hot spot to keep all your internet devices connected while you drive.

#2. 2022 Porsche Boxster

The 2022 Porsche Boxster earned an 8.9 on the U.S. News rating scale, making it the second-best luxury convertible for 2022 and the third-best luxury sports car overall. Starting price for the 2022 Boxster is $62,600, and like the Chevy Corvette, a well-equipped Porsche Boxster is a relatively affordable luxury convertible sports car. 

However, unlike the newest Corvette convertible, the Porsche Boxster offers new convertible buyers four engine choices to pick from and either an automatic or manual transmission. The base turbocharged 2.0-liter horizontally-opposed-four-cylinder (flat-four) produces 300 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. The most powerful option available in the Spyder trim is the 4.0-liter flat-six engine with 414 horsepower and 309 lb-ft of torque. 

Standard Porsche Boxster features include Apple CarPlay but no Android Auto, a 7-inch touch screen, a six-speaker stereo with Bluetooth, and dual-zone climate controls. 

#3. 2022 Porsche 911

Landing in the third spot on U.S. News’ list is the new Porsche 911. The 2022 Porsche 911 scored 8.8 on the U.S. News rating scale. This new convertible starts at $101,200, making it the most expensive luxury convertible on U.S. News’ list of the best luxury convertibles of 2022. 

There are six engine options, but the base twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six engine produces 379 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque. The most powerful of the six options is the twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter flat-six engine, which produces 640 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque.

Standard features include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but only Apple CarPlay features wireless connectivity. A 10.9-inch touch screen serves infotainment duties, while an eight-speaker stereo system provides the tunes. A proximity keyless entry system, automatic dual-zone climate controls, and a universal garage door opener round out the standard features of every 911.
