I guess I just don’t want to feel like I’m missing out or have regrets later on. This will be my first brand new car and I will be upgrading from a 2002 Camry solara.

For those of you that got the premium trim, did you regret not getting the luxury trim? Is there anything else I should consider?

I bought a '24 premium, buyers remorse wishing I bought the luxury package as I like the wheels 5x better and the panoramic roof looks sharp !
If it's in your budget , you plan on keeping it for a long time and appeals to you get the Luxury package!

Isn't Luxury near $60k? At that point, I'm probably going with an RX.

Depends on the additional equipment you add on.
MSRP on a nice Premium with 14" screen, head up display, panoramic view monitor, etc etc is close to $ 52k.
Luxury package $ 57k'ish.
Remember these are made in Japan and Canada..
Vin# that starts with J is Japan built, two plants I believe, I think Vin# that starts with 2 is Canada built.
IDK RX prices.

There's only 2 things that I'd like to have on my NX: 360° monitor and Triple Beam Headlamps. On a Premium, I'd be happy to have either one of those options.

Not sure why people expect the NX to be anywhere near the other Lexus models?

And they are all noisier than the Maybach, so what this is an NX thread. The NX is quiet enough to satisfy all but the most persnickety non-NX owners

Albeit though quietness is one of the few advantages the RX as I see it IMHO the RX has over the lowly NX .

YMMV,

US has the Premium around $52K-53K. The Luxury is around $57K-58.5K depending on options. RX are around 55K starting for ICE only, RX 350h is around $58.5K with the premium package, RX350h premium plus is around $62K, and RX350h LUX is at $67.5K or so.
