Default 2016 RX450AWD VS RX450AWD F-Sport Question

Hi all I was wondering if anyone know what features or options that a non f sport 450h vs a 450h f sport has. I know the luxury package is only available on the non f sport so the aluminum and wood trim for the dash would not be available on the F sport version, but is there any other feature or option that the F sport won't have? I would guess the seat extender that is offered on the non F sport with luxury package is one. Would there be anything else like ambient lighting, lighted door sills, retractable side view mirrors...etc? Thanks for your help

I had the same question and in the end the only thing you can't get on the fsport is manual window shades for the back 2 windows. The luxury also has illuminated will plates but that can always be added later easily, which I will do.

Dont forget, the FSport version will not have the rear seat entertainment dual DVD screens. The Luxury can be optioned with them.

The Luxury can also be had with POWER reclining rear seat with heated seats option. The fsports are only manual operated without heating.

The luxury can be had with Semi analine leather, which is a softer richer feeling leather than whats on the fsport.

So basically you do loose alot of features if you go fsport.

You need to think for yourself if you the driver is more important or the comfort of your passengers are more important.

Keep in mind that you only loose AVS sport + mode and interior and exterior fsport trim and accents if you buy fsport. You can get every single TECH available in Luxury trim besides AVS. Personally I would buy a LUXURY version and on a later date convert the front bumper with fsport parts and badging and I can almost have best of both worlds. On the flipside it would be almost impossible and cost prohibative to add LUXURY features to an Fsport RX.

You're missing the biggest feature of an f sport which is the digital dash. The heated power rear seats can be special ordered in an f sport too. As far as the entertainment package, not really sure who would buy it as its bulky and way cheaper and more economical and more functional to just get each kid a new iPad.

I wanted the f sport from the day when it was introduce back in April, REALLY like the look of the mesh front end. Maybe because it looks so good on the IS. LOVE the digital dash and red seats. But when I went to the dealer, and found out that there's no fully loaded f sport incoming anytime soon, unless i special order it and have to wait 4 months. Or i settle with the f sport without triple beam LED, lexus safety system, 360 view parking. Well, i decided to go with the fully loaded LUXURY with all the options i wanted. I have to admit I am trying to convince myself it's a right decision lol. However, up until I saw the non-f sport in person the other day. I am totally convinced myself it was the right move. TOTALLY in love with the normal front end. It's just that the different layers of front grille, looks so 3D and futuristic. The more I look at the pics of the f sport, it starting to look kinda plain to me. Although I haven't seen a f sport in person. So i suggest you guys to check out how it looks in person before making the final decision
