I just test drove an 2016 NX 200t Fsport and found the bottom seat cushion of the driver side and passenger side quite narrow and tight. Has anyone test driven the 2016 RX 350 Fsport? If you have can you tell me if the seats on the RX fsport the same as the one in the NX fsports? If the seats are the same then a special order of a RX Fsport is a no go. My Lexus dealer does not have a RX Fsport for me to test drive.

I'm 6'3, 195 pounds. The RX seats are the same as the NX seats. At first the RX seats were not the MOST comfortable. But like everything in life, you have to let it break in baby. Now it conformed to my beautiful bodacious heiny, I have zero issues and it's great.

I think the NX and RX F SPORTS have similar seat design, but the dimensions are a little different. I have sat in both and driven an RX 350 F SPORT and remember thinking it was a little bigger. That said, I'm exceptionally tiny at 5'2" and 120 pounds. One reason I avoided the RX F SPORT and went for the luxury package were the bolsters on the F SPORT. Getting in and out was a pain and there was some hard plastic surface under the bolster!

I think the NX forums have some great information comparing the car to the IS F SPORT, and yes, the NX has smaller seats!!!

RX are bigger but similar feel. Adjusting the seat is important, im only 160 but at first, the back side bolsters were digging in too much...made me feel bad for anyone bigger. But after raising the back incline and adjusting the tilt of the bottom, everything felt perfect.

In addition to the threads Curryolla mentions, I'd add this one. Corrado went from a 3RX F-Sport to the NX F-Sport. He mentions there was a 2" seat width difference between his RX and NX. Maybe we can get measurements for the 4RX to compare but no doubt it's still bigger. I felt the difference between the two. Recently I took my mother for a drive in my 450h F-Sport. Let's just say the seats aren't necessarily friendly for someone her height and size. She loved how they hugged her. It's more like conform to me. Over time they'll only get better.

I was in the same situation wanting to drive before buying but no 350 F-Sports were to be found. Forget trying to locate a 450h F-Sport. I wound up going to another dealer for a test drive weeks later. Let a few other dealers know you're interested and to contact you when one comes in. That's what I did.

RX are bigger, they are not the same seats.
NX are narrower.

Correct and glad you referenced those posts. I wish I had the opportunity to measure the RX F Sport seats but perhaps Anita can?

I'd bet the width of the seat bottom is 0.5 - 1" wider than the NX's based on what it felt like sitting in the RX's seat.

However, to anyone concerned with the tight squeeze, many of us NX F Sport owners with the initial complaints (like myself), do not feel the discomfort anymore and that's thanks to the seat softening a little over time. If this was one of my few concerns in considering the RX F Sport, I'd dismiss it and not worry about it.

I have a 2016 F Sport and the seats after 6000 km feel great . Not as tight as when new. 6'1 220lbs.

Yesterday I had an NX F Sport as a loaner. Much tighter seat and the car had 5800 Kms. Now maybe the loaner was given out to smaller people and it didn't get stretched as much.

The RX has stretched enough that I don't even notice how tight it was when new. The bottom part seems to mold to your figure over time. The back stills feels firm, but comfortable with great bolsters.
