Default Few impressions on my RX with luxury package

Trunk space - It's descent and i can put my baby carriage without any problem. One good feature is that i can slide the back seats up front, and free up more trunk space. Can move up about 6 -7 inch. However, the trunk is very HIGH. That means i have to lift up things high to put in the trunk.
Touch free power rear door - It doesn't work sometimes....
Luxury package - I think it's worth it, especially the luxury exclusive rims. I love them and it looks so good compare to the 18" stock rims...Wood steering wheel is nice. LED interior lights looks great at night.
HUD - First time using a car with HUD, and I love it. I set the brightness to max, and I can see it in day time and it looks impressive at night time
Panoramic view monitor - There is an auto mode that whenever I stop at the light or full stop, the cameras will activate. Split into 3 screens, left screen will show the front camera, mid screen will show the bird's eye view. The bird's eye view screen also divided into 4 boxes, which i can click to zoom. The right side screen is the map. When put in R, there is an option to have the bird's eye view on or off. and i can also choose to have the grid line on and off.
Triple beam LED - I love how it looks on the NX! So it's a must have option for me. The extra corner LED lights up when the turn signal is on. Very useful! The rear LED turn signal are SO bright compare to the non LED. This option is worth every penny IMO
Lexus safety system + - PCS gave me a BIG red stop sign on the HUD lol. LKS gave me steering wheel vibration whenever i step on the yellow or white line, works on both local and highway.

Thanks. Can you elaborate on the ambient lighting? Light intensity controllable? Any other led applications other than shown here:

Some night pics would be appreciated.

Thanks for a very informative review. I had no clue that the rear seat would move forward, as in my LX. Super valuable feature for road trips. How is the ride? My wife's 2013 RX is a bit harsh, choppy, for my taste. I am sorry they left off the AVS in the Luxury model, no F Sport for me.

The ride is comfortable. It's more comfortable than the 2013 GS i leased. A little bit more comfortable than 2015 MB ML350, streering feel is way better than the ML

The seats slide forward in my '13 RX350 as well.

In the Luxury pkg, can the front headrests also adjust forward/aft?

Mines are not able to tilt forward nor back. I believe the fsport seats can move forward and back. Luxury seats are way more comfy than fsport though.

np that was one thing i was looking forward to since i had that in my 4runner and bmw. It still feels good to the point where i didn't have to tilt it back or forward though so it worked out for me.
