I like to listen to synthwave when driving and I can recommend 'Rivera Rivera' and 'Inexdra' as well as 'Cartridge 1987'.
The latter has some great songs that tell a story without any words.

Ever check out some jam bands? They all have vocals but stretch the music out in interesting ways.

Check out ENV -- Some of my favorite lyric-less music. There are a couple of playlists on YouTube with their albums. Firefrost is a good song to start with.
GoGo Penguin is a jazzy trio from the UK that makes midern jazz that is really engaging. I'm really a progmetalhead, but this band is ficking epic.
Bersarin Quartett is another band that I love. It's is a bit tough to get into, but it's really rewarding if you like slowish dreamy complex music. All song titles are in German, but luckily there's no lyrics.

If you like solar fields, try Asura (also on ultimae records)! Also, hinkstep is pretty nice but has vocals some of the time.

Finally I made it here. I like the Chesire! Cheers
If the reason you want something without lyrics is so that you can focus on other stuff, you could consider songs in other languages. There's so much content out there to explore, and you might be able to find stuff in a genre that you already enjoy. I don't find it distracting, and it's fun finding new artists I otherwise would have never tried.
When I want pure instrumental, I usually go "instrumental {{genre}}" and just save the playlists.

Chapelier Fou, but kinda went into a "symphonic direction" over the years I guess, but maybe you still like the older stuff? My personal favorite.

Lindsey Stirling? Not sure if this is up your alley, but, her music is pretty great.
Also, Two Cellos, and the Piano guys.
Its, not classical. It's all instrumental music, no singing.

Oh, and as a bonus- more of their songs then not, are pretty damn good. I can listen to them non-stop through an entire workday.
The French 79 has some lyrics but is primarily electronic melodies
