The 350 F Sports come with both 9” and 14” depending on options. I have test drove both 350 F Sports with 9” and 14”. Only the 14” gets ML
That's confusing!
If 'only the F-Sport with 14" gets ML', then that is just another way of saying that a F-Sport with ML gets 14". But that is not correct because the F-Sport I looked at and for which I have added images of the window sticker - it has ML but it does NOT have a 14" screen. You must have overlooked that fact...

If that's true you should buy it and hold onto it because that is rare. But I would say that it indeed does have a 14" screen.

go back and take a pic of the screen inside of that vehicle and the speaker grills. Lol
When I placing my order for the NX, it was quite confusing to determine the features and options also. Even worst is most dealers doesn't show the window sticker. The hybrid and turbo models have differences in equipment. There's no F sport for hybrid btw.
That vehicle must have sold it’s not on that website any longer. This vehicle was priced over $58k and I can guarantee you this had the 14” screen.
Yes, I'm quite sure it was sold quickly. You may be right about it having a 14" display although I recall it looking to be a 9.8" display, but we'll never know for sure because it's gone. I was specifically going by what the window sticker clearly said, and was trying to make sense of why the window sticker showed the car having a Mark Levinson system but a 9.8" display yet being maxed-out loaded with all options. But y'all were so sure there was no way to have a ML and not have a 14" display, which led to our back 'n forth. Now, maybe now you can understand why I was looking for clarity.
But then I see that THIS guy had trouble finding or building a NX F-Sport or NX Luxury with BOTH the 14 inch display and Mark Levinson sound system - so!

I have been looking at enough window stickers on the NX 350 F Sport and anything over $57 or $58k will most certainly have the 14” screen.
It would be a big mistake for an owner to purchase an NX for $56-58k and get the 9” screen. But that’s my opinion.
You seem quite certain in your assertion that it had a 14" display. This prompts me to ask you why the window sticker of that $59k F-Sport with a Mark Levinson system stated it had a 9.8" display and not a 14' display. What is your reasoning for that, and are you certain about it?
Do you see why the positive declarations of absolute certainty - and the 'he's not getting it' comment just totally lacks any logic or specificity when irrefutable proof is provided? I prefer to know information I can count on being correct...

You are not reading the posts. Standard equipment ( may differ with options) it says that right on your window sticker. Option ML comes with the "14 so the standard equipment 9.8" gets deleted. It's not going to say 14" because it's not standard. ML option doesn't list the 14". Maybe it should but if you look at the brochure or the build on lexus website it tells you what come with the ML. I copied a build earlier that tells you that.
@signdetres - It could be due to the chip shortage factor, but Lexus has been known to cut-in different equipment modifications at various times, sometimes when it doesn't make any sense.
I feel sure you remember how Lexus used different dampers, sway bars and coils in the 4GS model and it was not necessarily dependent on the particular 4GS model (e.g. RWD, AWD, 450h) - but was by different year versions (i.e. Versions 4.1GS thru 4.5GS). Furthermore, if you recall, Lexus even randomly put double-pane windows in some 4GS models both with and without the Cold Weather package. So, my point is - I think anything in terms of a mish·mash of equipment is a possibility knowing how Lexus did it with the 4GS model. Just saying... Have a nice day!

I hope the 8-speed transmission is a good match for the 2.4L Turbo engine and it doesn't have a tendency to 'hunt' for the best gear like some transmissions tend to do..
It is pretty decent. Shifting is smooth 99% of the time. Most of the time it responds well to changes. The "direct shift" system seems to work well enough, I've seen it shift from 7th while cruising to 4th for passing pretty much instantly. This transmission is a bit aggressive at keeping a lower gear so you can feel it downshift while slowing to a stop. Slightly noticeable (which annoys some) but I don't find it annoying except when the transmission is still cold, then its clearly noticable, but goes away quickly enough when warm. My only issue with the way the transmission shifts is when slowing to almost a stop, it will hold 2nd until almost stopped. If you hit the gas at, say 1 or 2mph, then there is a short hunt lag. There is one or two particular turns where I might get into this situation, and lately I've just been switching to sport mode coming into this corner and that seems to help.

I don’t feel that chip shortages have anything to do with this particular window sticker we are talking about.
It’s very simple, the window sticker clearly shows ML and the price shows $2125.00 (yes it doesn’t specifically say 14” screen) but that price is a giveaway. Lexus website clearly says for the NX 350 F Sport w the F Sport Handling Luxury Pkg (which this window sticker clearly also shows it has) for that $2125.00 you get the 14” screen and the ML. The Full MSRP is also a giveaway, Lexus is not going to sell you a $57-58k NX 350 F Sport and it have a 9” screen. lol This vehicle with the window sticker on this thread had the 14” screen.
I realize that US has a lot of ala carte options available. In these parts its quite a bit more simple. FSport 1 (base) you get non ML 9" screen. FSport 2 (mid level) you get non-ML 14" screen. FSport 3 (loaded) you get ML with 14" screen. Simple as that, no extra pickles or hold the tomatoes. Regardless of the option choices available, it does seem to me "unnatural" for a fully loaded FSport to come with a 9" screen. Probably right up there with the 15" wheels and drum brake options.

ML on F-sport 350 NX
