Default 2015 dual pane windows

Do all 2015 models have dual pane windows? I believe older models with the cold weather package do but I’m in California.

i want to get a 2013-2015 gs but reduced cabin noise is what is top on my list. I will use dyna mat on the doors and floor.

also is the f sport wheels that much louder then the 18”. Given they both have the same tires? I know the stock f sport tires are pretty loud

I have a 15 F Sport without the cold weather package but I do have the dual pane windows.

I have not found the F Sport tires to be more noisy. Mine came with Michelins.

Thank you both. I guess I will have to do the phone decibels test on the freeeay. I would love an f sport over a luxury package, just from the better looking wheels.

15fsprt 450h. Dual panes.

Remember road noise isn't just the diameter of the tire. Almost impossible to completely isolate the source unless you use the same strip of tarmac to test different wheel and tire combinations. Beyond that you'd have to know the actual state of the tarmac itself. New, old, weathered...or maybe you're running in concrete.

I find that the road surface is way more responsible for road noise than tires or wheel diameter. Everything else is placebo from advertising.

For the remote start through your smart phone with the enform app, the gs needs to have sos safety connect? Not all 2015 f sports have this?
I am familiar with the lack of range on the remote start and it turns off when you open the door.

It’s not Safety Connect that you need, but Lexus Enform Remote. All 15s have access to both these features. Both are subscription based.

Aren't dual pane windows standard anymore? I have a 13 RX with Premium package and a 13 GS with Lux package and both have dual pane.

what is the costs?

and I’ve never seen a 2013/2014 with dual pane unless it had time expensive cold weather package. I will gladly get a 2013/2014 if they have dual pane but I can’t seem to get a straight answer. I think it’s a hit and miss until 2015

Pretty sure my 2018 RWD F-Sport does not have dual-pane glass. I don't think our 2015 RWD F-Sport does either but I can check a little later.

Here are two photos of my '18 driver window. Doesn't look like dual-pane to me but I could be wrong. Can someone verify? Markings on the glass say UVS Temperlite. Rear windows and rear windscreen say Nippon Safety UV. Windshield says Lamisafe. Paging LexsCTJill and SW17LS to decode, lol.

Second picture looks like I see the dual pane line where two glass pieces meet?

That is not dual-pane. Here's a pic of what it looks like on my '13 ES:
