Default 2015 GX460 - Heated Seats standard?

Are heated seats standard on the 2015 GX460 base? It looks like you need the comfort package for ventilated seat with tri zone control, but not sure if heated seats are standard. Thanks.

No, heated seats aren't standard. I test drove a 2015 yesterday that was $50k (base) and was told its part of a package, just can't recall it at the moment.

Not standard in base edition - neither are front parking sensors, which were important for me. Neither is leather, too.

Supposedly per the Lexus website heated seats are standard. I did not select any packages. See screenshot below where I compared a base GX vs X5.

Not sure what the website is referring to , BUT i can vouch first hand as I test drove a 2015 base on Friday. It DIDN'T have heated seats, I even confirmed on the center console where the controls would have been (it was blanked).

Seems like they would avoid putting seat heaters in the vehicles with fake leather...which is what the base model has.

Not true, I compared 2 "Base" models side by side. Both had the Nuluxe and espresso wood trim, but 1 car GX had the heated seats and Nav while the other was bare.

Base was $50K or close to 51K and the other, with heated seats and Nav was almost 54K.

Neither worked for me because i at the very least want heated seats and parking sensors which can be packaged together for about 57K.

Thank you for all the responses and confirming. I also emailed the dealership and received a response today that heated seats are not standard on the base model.

We initially looked into the base model and the options that came with it. In the end we decided to get the premium trim as IMHO we got the most value in the package. The premium package value was not that far off when compared to what was included in the package versus the individual cost of adding the heated seats and navigation option (in our case)
