Its definitely not leather. I would not even consider it leatherette. If anything its soft plastic modeled with leather like appearance and stitching.

Personally, I think Lexus should consider increasing the price of the Luxury package to offer a leather dash and true aluminium button, switches, and accents for the cabin. It would then make the RX on par with midsize German offering (GLE, X5,etc).

Thought the RX seems to slot somewhere between a X3 and X5 sooo might push the price a bit to high.

Vinyl dash top with Real stitching.

BTW, the radio ***** are machined real aluminum. So are the center and door trim pieces on F-Sports

Wish the radio and vent surrounds where also aluminum and not cheap feeling silver plastic! Esp when equipped with the Luxury Package.
