Default Changes for 2020 models

So I was at the local dealership yesterday, and was told by a salesman there are no changes for model year 2020.

In looking at an online brochure, it looks like there are several changes. The Luxury package now includes 14 way adjustable seats, android auto is included, and the warranty on the hybrid battery has been extended.

Is anyone aware of any other changes?

There is now an option for motorized folding side mirrors.

The wireless charger appears to have been turned and redesigned to accommodate larger phones.

Maybe but why bother - wireless chargers typically work at a snail's pace.

Wireless charges are perfect for a home/office setting. I have a couple at home and one at the office. They are very convenient but in a vehicle, it's pointless to have since they charge slow and if you have an iPhone you won't be able to use Carplay. Their efficiency should improve in a few year's time but unfortunately, we aren't there yet.

So I went to look at the one 2020 300ESh luxury model at my local dealer. No changes in the seats from 2019. So much for believing what is in the brochure.

My 2019 Luxury with a build date of 7/19 has a 14-way power seat on the drivers side. Passenger is 10-way.

That is what the 2019 and 2020 models at my dealer have. The brochure for 2019 states: "Driver's-seat power cushion extender. 12-way power-adjustable front seats."

The brochure for 2020 states: "Driver's-seat power cushion extender. 14-way power-adjustable front seats."

Based on this change in description, I thought the 2020 had added 4 way lumbar to the passenger seat.

I just saw this in a new listing. It may be the first October build I've seen since the description included android auto. I am curious if the Waze integration is also a new addition or if as been available:
  • LEXUS MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM[ROADSAFETY2] WITH 8.0-IN COLOR DISPLAY AND AVAILABLE WAZE[WAZE] INTEGRATION.
