Did they improve the heated steering wheel for it to be the Entire Steering wheel or just 10 and 3..... Hate that the entire steering wheel (all leather) doesn't warm up....

I had 2023 NX as a loaner and I can confirm that the entire steering wheel is heated, so I am guessing they would have done the same for 2023 RX as well.

yep, I have it and the whole outer part heats. If you have the wood trim on the inside, that part doesn’t.

Took out the 500H this morning and yes the entire steering wheel (full leather) heats up but at the 12 and 6 o'clock position does not get as warm as 9 and 3 o'clock.

Just ordered a 350h today and sat in one - confirmed the whole wheel heats. I have a 16 RX 450h that does not, so this was one of the things I explicitly checked.

Good to know, even in 2022 the RX still didn't have a fully-heated wheel.

Anyone have the wood insert steering wheel and feel it not being very warm at all even when its on max? It feels lukewarm and never very warm like the 2024 NX non-wood version.

‘Warmer at the 9 and 3 o’clock positions. The rest of the wheel not so warm.
