Hi all,
We know that , available as specs are legroom, headroom etc in inches- has anyone seen data on minimum and maximum seat height from the floor for drivers seat? I haven’t been able to find that anywhere

my observation I think from test drives is that the NX allows a higher drivers seating position than the RX does, but would like to see verification of that if possible . Also it seems the difference between the two models may be even greater for the new models than past generation perhaps ?
thanks for any info

I note that when raising the seat height on my RX from lowest position to a higher position, the seat also moves further forward and that's not acceptable to me. I need the seat at the rearmost position for my legs.

I noticed that too. However, once you have raised it as far up as you want (and it also moves forward), can you not then just move it backwards for distance? or will the height drop lower at the same time??
If so, that means you can only have maximal height if you are willing to sit up close. Maybe thats why I am finding the RX height to be not so high compared to NX.

I just looked at this on my ES. When you raise/lower, it does also move forward with raising/ move back with lowering.

However, lets say I raise it up to the highest level. After doing that, you can then move it back and it will go backwards without dropping down. Does the RX not do the same?

A bit annoying ,but to make a big change in height you then have to do it in 2 steps. Move up, which makes it go forward, then move back to where you want it horizontally.

Three memory settings, set it, forget it. Marry it to your fob and you won't even have to press 1, 2, or 3.

for sure- with my Lexus ES myself and wife each have our memory settings set, and would do the same for RX. My only concern is that the seat doesn’t have a maximum height as high as we would like (especially compared to the Nx…)

Then RX isn't for you. I drive the ES and my wife the RX - really not clear what the issue is but for me it has plenty of adjustability.
