Default Lexus Panaramic Monitor

Does anyone have this feature, or this is just a euro thing

I assume if we have the park assist and blind spot, this might jst be a software update ?

specifially says, unavailable for North America market. And it seems to be more than a software update, as the link mentions four high def cameras in each corner of the vehicle

There is a camera under the logo in the front, and the rear, and two more under the wing mirrors. They combine the images to form the panoramic view. You get that swooparound effect when you press the "view" button while in Park, otherwise the topview just comes on automatically when you reverse.

North America doesn't get this? That's gotta suck...

A lot of us here were wondering why Lexus Panoramic monitor was not available in NX in North America when NX got launched.

When I saw this video, I think it is something to do with strategy or make the Panoramic Monitor cheaper by putting it in other cars in the Toyota/Lexus lineup.

At 0:39, you will see it is available in 2016 RAV4. I bet Panoramic Monitor will probably be available in 2016 NX or it doesn't make sense to see a less expensive RAV4 has this feature available.


Another side note is the SE grade of 2016 RAV4 will have sports tuned suspension and paddle shifters. So the likelihood of AVS option for 2016 NX F-Sport in US is high
