I just got an allocation for a premium NX 350h eminent white pearl with Rioja seats coming end of Feb. It has the premium package including panoramic view monitor. I can’t help but think should I take this one or wait for a luxury model.
I would be missing the triple beam headlights, ML sound system, bigger rims and panoramic roof. I really like the triple beam lights but isn’t sure if it’s worth the cost. 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 was in your shoes. I really wanted the Luxury but my dealer allocation of incoming Luxurys were color combinations that I'd never consider. I settled for a Premium in Eminent White with Black and Rich cream interior; heads up display and 14"screen. All of those were absolute must haves for me. Like you, I really wanted the triple beam headlamps but as little as I drive at night, just wasn't as important. Keep in mind, Luxury doesn't mean it will come with everything. Really weigh what colors and options are most important. I'd probably go for the Premium model you described 😉

I was having the same issue when I reserved a NX350h with similar package. The vehicle was in transit. I decided to go big and canceled my vehicle so then no regrets and I have ML which was one of my favorite features. I'm waiting for the Lux now. I drove the 18" as a loaner nx350h and was fine with it so I'm custom ordering with 18" but everything else is the same. I didn't have any problems with handling on the 18" wheels.

I can say for sure ML is real Lexus but Pioneer is so bad they didn't put their name on it. The Rav4 JBL bass was better than the Pioneer IMO. Bass is very low on the Pioneer but no distortion noticeable.

Here's some video on ML vs 10 speaker Pioneer. I tested in person both ML and Pioneer (2 times) and drove my salesperson insane since I didn't buy any car![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

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.

I've have put in an order for the new NX350h with 18" wheel LUX and ML. I'm working with the Sales Manager to see if he can order it. The Lux has pano roof standard.
Not sure you can get Pano with Lux package
