Hello all,
This is more for the Canadian customers - as the Executive Trim doesn't exist in the USA market, but basically here is what it has:
The long story short; I had placed an order for my basically at the beginning of the year - and due to parts shortage, overall demand, and the state of the industry, I don't yet have a pickup date. I had placed an order for the Luxury model (as I really liked the 14" screen and the pano sunroof)
Details for the Luxury package are below (in the spoiler)
Spoiler
I was told that Lexus is prioritizing deliveries for the Executive Trim over any other trim, and that I can get the Executive package within a few weeks (like a VERY short time) if I upgrade to it.
The ~$10K difference aside, would you say that it's worth it?
I would be essentially upgrading to:
Full Leather
Mark Levinson
HUD
20" black wheels (rather than the 20" silver)
360 camera
auto-park
tri-beam LED
and a bit more.
But basically, I am skipping over the Ultra Luxury and straight to the Executive for a HUD, Mark Levinson, some Leather, and black wheels - and that's about it
For those that have the top-tier trim, any regrets? Is Mark Levinson really that good? Is the leather better than the NuLuxe (Yes, I read countless debates about this)? Does anyone have a picture of the Black machined wheels (not the F-Sport wheels)
Thanks!
I also ordered a 350h luxury package because I feel like it's the sweet spot in terms of money spent vs features. If money is not the top determining factor, then go for it since you will get to enjoy the car much sooner
- Mark Levinson is amazing. There's a YouTuber that reviewed the base 10 speaker (B tier) and ML system (A tier) systems in the NX.
- 360 camera is very nice to have. I wish we have this as an al la cart item.
- Rest of the features are meh....
Those are my thoughts exactly! The Luxury package was 200% more than I needed and 80% what I wanted lol.
the biggest things I wanted, which sadly aren’t a la carte, are the 3B LEDs and the 360. Those could have been resolved by simply upgrading to ultra luxury, for an extra $5. But I’m paying another $5 on top of that (just shy of $10k) to get that + real leather, ML, HUD and auto-park, plus some black wheels. Don’t know about any one else, but I don’t think it’s worth the asking price. I’m still torn lol!
Second the HUD. Wasn't sure I'd care about it that much, but think I'd really miss it if it was taken away now. Camera system is really helpful to have when parking or leaving especially tight areas, so that's worth it as far as I'm concerned.
Now, are they worth $10k? Eh, not sure. I'd probably say no, but if that means you're waiting an extra 6 months for your car, none of us can say whether that's "worth it" or not to you.

haha that's how they get you...hey it's only 4.3K to go from luxury to ultra luxury...and another 4.7K to get top trim executive. But in the end, you are spending 10K more and the car becomes 76K after taxes in Ontario.
Personally, I think it's too much for a NX 350h.
I agree with everyone saying luxury trim is the sweet spot. I placed my order in March and luxury trim was sold out so ended up getting the ultra premium instead. Would have paid the $600 difference for the pano roof, but was told there is no ETA for the luxury trim. I got a call recently saying my car is done and enroute so I expect to pick up this week.
I ordered my NX 350 H in early January of this year and right now the expected delivery date is end of June. Here’s hoping. When I placed my order iI was torn between the Luxury and the Ultra Luxury packages. Deciding factor was the Digital Mirror with Homelink, Kick sensor, Triple Beam, Intelligent Headlights, Corner lighting, Auto Leveling headlights and Digital Key for a $4k Cdn difference seemed to me a reasonable amount for these additions. My wife’s car has a HUD and to be honest, I have difficulty seeing it because a wear UV sunglasses and they tend to make the HUD image disappear. I also realized that there was going to be a a fairly steep technology learning curve already and the HUD implementation just seem to be at a “bridge too far for me“. The only other option in the Exec package that I would have liked was the Mark Levinson sound system but for an additional $5k Cdn I couldn’t justify it.
