Default NX 450 plus is LACKING!

So not only does this fairly high price top trim of the NX not have the option of panoramic sunroof or the beloved Mark Levinson Soundsystem, but you cannot get cooling, ventilated seats!!!

You also cannot get a heated steering wheel.

I stand corrected. I thought it was impossible

By any chance can someone chime in to see if it's also an option on the F Sport package 450 plus?

I am from Canada and ordered 450h+ F sport. It comes with heated steering wheel, ventilated seats (front only) and heated seat. It doesn't come with pano and ML speakers and auto park feature (that comes with executive package)

Exclamation What the 450h+ and 450h+ F Sport lack

#4. Pano roof
#5. ML audio system
#6. Advanced parking
#7. Leather seats (only Nuluxe with F-Sport) (from midcow3)
#8. Cold Area package (from midcow3)

Anything else?

How about the front seat adjustments? How many ways can you adjust the driver seat (and passenger seat) including lumbar support?

Thanks in advance for any info!

Soon to be new Lexus (and NX) owner

Lexus could have added all these items including those you mentioned if they had wanted to. If so, I would have gotten the 450h+ and so would have a lot of other NX buyers.
These are the packages and features lacking in the USA ) other countries may be slightly different) in the 2022 Lexus NX 450h+ and 2022 Lexus NX 450h+ F Sport :

If these features were available on the 2022 Lexus NX 450h+ and 2022 Lexus 450h+ F Sport, I and a lot of others would have bought the 2022 Lexus 450h+ F Sport , especially since the $7,500 tax credit makes them basically the same price: loaded Luxury 350h @ $56K + $7.5 tax credit = $63.5 cost of 450h+ F Sport

We have both on our 450h+ F-Sport in the US. I'm not sure I can ever go back to a non-ventilated seat car.

Even better, if you're in California, you get another $750 now and $1,000 later, total credits + rebates = $9,250! Much better value although maybe harder to get.

I was depressed about the lack of ML, always had it on previous Lexus. I actually prefer the NuLuxe vs. the Leather, I sort of feel I need to take more care of the cars with leather, never had NuLuxe crack (as opposed to leather seats) and in theory, its lighter. I did want Advanced Park, but think everything else more than makes up for that being missing.
