Default Panorama roof available on 2019?

Hello

Initially I was interested in an LS due to having one in the past I absolutely loved.

However I'm looking at the RX350 and my question I'm wondering does the 2019 have a Panorama roof?

I want the F sport or the luxury or both of that's a thing but definitely interested in the pano roof.

Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated
Thank you

Yes, at least in the luxury package. Not sure about the F Sport.

I have a 2016 F sport with Pano, in canada though. I am pretty sure they also offered Pano in US with F sport

FSport will have more aggressively bolstered seats, probably sportier wheels, different cluster etc.

I believe the Pano Roof is made of "Tempered" glass and will shatter into thousands of pieces if hit by a hard object. It's not laminated like the windshield and passenger windows. Also, several problems have been reported with the interior cover getting stuck. The dealers have quoted around $1000 plus or minus to fix the interior shade. When I ordered my 2022 450h, I was careful not to order another Panoramic Sun Roof.

My 2020 450h FSport has Panoramic Sun Roof. I bought the particular vehicle because it was the only one in the lot that had other options we wanted. If I had had a choice, I'd not have bought it.

For one thing, I don't like the motorized interior cover. I'd rather have a cover that could be manually operated - simple and easy.

I like sun roof, but prefer something as simple as the one on my lowly Honda Accord. I think the panoramic on the Lexus is overly complicated.

The Pano roof is overrated on the RX. When trying to open the sunroof it only opens about a foot. Fully expected it to be a full pano roof experience like I had out of a Lincoln MKX I owned but was sadly disappointed. Go for the regular sunroof and you'll be much happier with it's simplistic and trouble-free operation.

I have a 2019 RX450h Fsport w/ the pano roof and absolutely love it as it lets light in front-to-back. This was a nice step up from the 2006 RX400h I had previously with the typical sunroof.

I leave the motorized sunshade open all the time since it rarely gets that hot here in the Pacific NW (have used it once just to see it work). Like 99rx mentioned, I wish the actual sunroof opened up more but it is what it is. I also need to get a protective film put on it to help guard against impacts, assuming there is such a product...

Thanks for the info! I do have a shop I've used for years for window tinting and PPF services so I'll contact them about what they recommend. This has been on my to-do list for way too long!
