Default 2020 rx

I spent a few minutes on Lexus web site building an RX 350 and FSport.
Apparently they’ve discontinued the Silver Lining Metallic paint. Of course that was my color of choice.
Then I find you can’t combine the lux package with the panoramic roof ?
So I then moved to the FSport. No leather, no heated/ventilated seats ?
Not happy!

Agree, I'm looking to buy '20 F-Sport and can't believe the ugly colors. I have the Silver Lining Metallic now on '13 RX F-Sport and was hoping to get it again. Shocked they eliminated it. My dealer said he was glad they discontinued it. Lexus is terrible with arranging packages, colors, and interiors. I have a "18 Camry XSE with red leather interior. If the red is the same in the new RX, I would not recommend it. I have to clean it once a month.

I think the configurator is wrong half the time. I have a 2020 450 with the pano roof and lux package on order. The configurator won’t let me build it that way either.

The wood shatters and splinters so better drive with safety glasses. Seriously though, I don’t care for the slippery surface. My BMW M sport wheel was much nicer with leather all the way around.

Default 2020 RX with Android Auto, do I still buy Navigation?

For the 2020 RX, do I still need to buy the Navigation system if I decide to use Android Auto for navigation instead? Can I just purchase the base option which does not include Navigation and save a few bucks?

Pretty sure you won’t get the wide screen if you do that. BIG difference in CarPlay.

The FSport does have heated ventilated seats. Also the nuluxe is way better than leather. Reason why I turned down a 2017 FSport and picked up an IS instead.

Lexus.com keeps removing the 2020 configuration from the website. Second time it's gone!

I second the vote on Nuluxe. We have a 19 ES Fsport with Nuluxe and a 17 RX with the real stuff.

Nuluxe is incredible. Still looks new after 33 months! Never want leather again. Nuluxe is premium.

Hope they kept Atomic Silver - that one looks great. But I prefer white cars anyway.

Agreed about the colors. Especially on the F sport. The nice thing about the 2020 is that the chrome trim around the windows are blacked out. Super excited about the nuluxe option as well. Not so excited that there are only two colors. Is the circuit red similar and shade to the previous red or is it a brighter red like in the other models? I just can’t picture an interior SUV with bright red seating. I was hoping that the white nuluxe would be an option like it is on the RC. Black is simply not a choice anymore.

As for the exterior, are usually stick with white or silver/gray. The atomic silver, however, doesn’t look flattering on this particular vehicle shape. The nebula gray looks much more appealing in the F sport. The ultra white is just too polarizing. I really like the nightfall Mica color. It really makes the car look beautiful. My only concern is getting tired of blue after a while. It really is a phenomenal exterior color on the RX.

I am also very interested in test driving one with the new F sport performance drive package option. Wondering if it’s worth the extra $4000.

The Circuit Red is blinding honestly and nothing like the Riola or whatever they call it. Stick with black IMO.
