The only thing that I really wanted from the Luxury package was the ML. I wanted 18 inch wheels and at the time the Luxury only came with 20. I definitely preferred a standard moon roof to the panoramic. I've always had leather but am pleased with the quality of the NuLuxe (Motormouth initially thought it was real leather!). I also wanted the black headliner which made the black interior a definite no (it comes with white headliner). My Premium came quite loaded so all things considered it's a really nice package. The base sound system is acceptable--obviously not near the ML. So it comes down to what are 'must haves' for you along with any "definite no's" juxtaposed to how much you want to spend. Some people have a long list of must haves and that would say Luxury only. My list was more reasonable, as I see it, and repeating myself from several other threads--I'm very happy with the NX350h Premium, Atomic Silver and Rioja Red interior. Would buy the same car again in a heart beat. Best of luck with your decision.

Just do the build and you will see the results.

I'm waiting for my dealer to send in the order. They told me they may not build the rioja red on the next production. Instead of waiting, I may just take the black.

I disagree; I prefer my Palomino interior. Black makes the inside too cave like for me, even with the pano roof shade open.

I opted for premium plus over luxury too
Having to wait almost a full year for my NX 350h (purchased from out of state & paid for transport) Grecian Water with Black & Rich Cream, I am THRILLED with my Premium Plus. I wanted the triple beam LED headlights too, but they are in seriously short supply (chip fiasco). My NX has SO many assisted driving features built in that my apprehension with night driving was immediately quashed. AWD is a great feature too & hard to come by in central TX.
As for the ML sound system, we had it in an older model GX & it’s nothing really to write home about. I never listen to anything above a low-medium volume unless cell connection is prohibitively quiet, so the luxury sound package was not a necessity.
Didn’t get the panoramic roof, but we have that in our 2019 Ford Raptor and have opened it ONE time since we bought it brand new. I like the option of using a rooftop cargo carrier that you have with a standard moonroof.

That actually makes some sense as a descriptor since a basic Premium Package would be one thing, but when it has lots of other add ons from the factory (as mine did too) then Premium Plus is a useful tag, albeit 'unofficial'.

let's not confuse the NX configurator even more
It is just too undefined and too nebulous to try and add it as an additional Lexus NX Premium designation.
However Canada does add 'Ultra". but their Ultra is specifically defined:
