To my knowledge, for the Central region at least, We have no Qi chargers coming in any of the cars. They didn't take off like we wanted so we did not allocate for any.

Lexus Canada still lists the wireless Charging on their website. Not sure why it's not available in the U.S. I have one and I rarely use it cause it takes forever to charge ur phone and I always leave my phone behind when I exit the car. To me it's a useless feature.

Based on these video clips and my post of a 2018 NX with a panoramic roof, please someone from Lexus explain why no HUD and panoramic roof for a 2018 NX in the States? Would buy one today if we were given those two options.

^ +1 Panoramic sunroof
and premium sound.
Premium brand no premium sound. How is it possible.

P.S. Any brand, Europe models always better equip and more luxury even mainstream brands.

For the US people. Do you guys know if Lexus ever has inventory with models that include the triple beam headlights or is this a made to order feature?

I'm looking to buy a 2018 hybrid and wondering if I can wait until inventory is available that has triple beam headlights.

the NX refresh almost reminds me of BMW’s LCI models where you almost
cant even tell the difference between the LCI and pre LCI

At least with the F Sport there is no overbite.

So what did you end up getting?

Yes, the 2018 track pad (or to use Lexus terminology "remote touch interface") is the same interface in the 2018 LC 500. Not only is it much larger, but it also operates far more accurately than 2015-2017 NX trackpads. Huge improvement.

i was able to save about $10,000 CAD on a 2017 NX F Sport Series 3 in USB mica 2.0 so I went for it. I wasn’t going to be able to get anywhere near that off a 2018 so I went for it and love the car. No regrets so far. I would have loved to have the upgrades particularly to the NAV and also Enform 2.0 which we didn’t get in Canada on the earlier models, but it didn’t seem worth the extra cash.
