Default Is panoramic view monitor available on RX350h Premium?

My dealer (PA, U.S.A.) is claiming premium version doesn’t come with panoramic view monitor. Premium + comes with 21” wheel, which I don’t really want because of the replacement cost. I have put down the deposit, very unhappily. Did anybody in US get a RX350h with 14” screen with panoramic view monitor and 19” tire?

Lexus’ own brochure state the panoramic monitor is an option on the premium trim and 21” wheels are optional on premium plus. Would take some time to get your preference on that stuff especially since you want a 350h which already takes quite a while to get.

I just placed deposit for a 350h Premium with panoramic view monitor. It took me a while looking for it. I am pretty sure that you would need the 14' screen for the 360 camera. Some dealers just try to steel you away from what they don't have. So YES, give it sometimes you will get what you are looking for.

Lexus does make premium trim with panoramic view monitor. If you go to cars.com, put in Lexus 350h. Select "premium" under "RX 350h trims." Then under keyword type "panoramic." Under "search within X miles" select "any". I found 9 cars, so yes they are rare, but they do exist. Lexus was building many luxury trims without the panoramic view monitor a few months ago, so I assume it was in a shortage, and that may not have fully resolved.

Also, Lexus has built premium+ trims without the 21" wheels, but those are rare as well.

You could be waiting many months to get either spec.

Apparently, they were not being truthful. Thanks for the info.
We got the luxury package and STILL didn't get the pano view. Chip shortages. I'm trying to find if there is an aftermarket camera that can at least give a front view for parking. Any ideas?

That was my thought also. I could do without the views, just want a front camera so I can see how much further I can go before hitting the wall or another car while parking. I have used the built in sensors but find I could have gone several inches or a foot farther. I really like the rear camera view and the lines, just wish they had included the same for the front. That huge grill makes it difficult to judge how much room you have in front.
