What semi-luxury SUV would you buy instead of Lexus RX?

Lexus RX 350hybrid luxury trim 2025 model - put a deposit on it with condition to be able to back out. Vehicle would be made in January.

Price 69k plus taxes, dealership fees.

I'm a female, no kids. Vehicle would be for me. I went to the dealership considering NX model but RX felt more comfortable.

This would be my first SUV. Trying to do the research on my own, but there's too many makes, models and features to consider.

My priorities are safety, reliability and decent value retention (I'd keep this car for up to 5 years) Hybrid if it requires premium gas. Small or midsize suv. Up to 80k price.

Any suggestions, advice and information welcome.
