I am very pleased with my current NX350h but wish I chose higher trim. Back the time I had to pick whatever available due to their lack of the inventory and the timing of my leased car return. any more add-ons/customization would lead to another 3 month wait. what they said, like, Life Doesn't Always Go According To Plan...lol

Premium itself certainly has value, but I bet down the line, I'll wish I have the larger screen, the driver assists and the 64 colour options for ambient lighting. It's rather spend the extra $4k now than wishing I did later.

I totally agree. The Luxury gives perfect balance of cost and features and was what I initially preferred. However, due to the pano roof delays, I've downgraded to the Ultra Premium.

My 350h has been solid mechanically with no rattles or squeaks. Did have CarPlay connection issues initially that are mostly resolved now after the last software update. Loving the nearly double the mpg from my previous RX with not much difference in performance. Giving it a 9 out of ten.
I think I saw video on how to do it but cant find it now. It is one of the screens on the main screen/menu but connecting the car to internet I guess is part of my question. Park in your garage so you are close to your own Wi-Fi?

I give my NX 350h premium with the 14 inch screen and 18 inch tire a 9.5 After 1000 miles the car is solid and smooth ride with no mechanical issues or rattles. The best thing I like about this NX is that the average mpg from my second tank of gas was 41.9 mpg calculated manually. The car mpg said 42.3 mpg. I am averaging 40.3mpg on the third tank of gas. I am driving with a light foot during this break in period.
I had random issues with my profile loading up and not able to set up my digital key at first. But the dealer was able fix some Of the profile issue. Then after I downloaded the software update, I am not having any more issues.
I love the infotainment system. Am able to use Lexus maps, apple maps and google maps. The voice commands work well.
I really like the intuitive parking assist and the fact that the mirrors tilt downwards when I back up is cool. The lighted door handles at night are a nice touch.
Couple things I am not crazy about is the thematic ambient lighting. It is not as noticeable as I thought it would be.
I think the rear of the car is so so. I wish there were some more silver or chrome in the bumper area.
when parking in a tight spot my brakes can be grabby.
but these things are minor. The cars positives far outweigh any negatives. So yeah I am very happy with my first Lexus.

What? 14 inch screen and digital key on the Premium. Lucky you. We don’t have the ability to ad those here in Canada. The 14 inch screen was on the on the ultra premium and the digital key on the ultra luxury so 6k or 11k more. Hope I had those options à la carte like you did I certainly would have taken them.

The way Lexus Canada is handling pricing and specs is driving me insane. I watched the Motormouth test drive and it was just confusing. I never thought I'd say an American car dealership was straightforward, but here we are.

In the United States, the only trims available on the 350h are standard, Premium and Luxury. I initially had a deposit on a Luxury trim, but ended up getting a Premium trim that had the larger screen, and the thematic ambient illumination as options. I am very happy with the Premium trim, since I did not like the 20" wheels that come with the Luxury trim.

I've ordered the ultra premium in Canada (delivery pending) does anyone know if it comes with remote start or is that only with the digital key. I desperately wanted the ultra luxury but I totaled my car in an accident and the wait time was till September for that trim and unfortunately I have to drive to work etc so need a car
