Default TX Premium vs Luxury

I am thinking of trading in my RX350L for the new TX. The seat in the RX is awkward putting strain on my hips and the 3rd row is a joke (primary reason for buying). However, I keep going back and forth between the Premium vs Luxury. Can anyone help me out???!

I didn't even look at a premium trim. coming from a Q7 with 18-way power adjustable massaging seats that were heated and ventilated I immediately was drawn towards the luxury trim. I can say the seat comfort is very very good. what is holding you back other than cost?

I also will say you get the heads up display which is really nice in the technology package with the luxury trim which you don't get on the premium trim. I also had HUD in my last couple cars and that was another selling point...

Thanks for your input! The difference is $3500 which isn’t horrible, but just seeing if it’s really worth it?! The premium is the dark blue and the luxury is pearl white (which is the color of my current RX).

Since this was going to my wife's TX she wanted specific features, and some didn't care about. She really hated the rear captain seats, and both of us preferred not having any type of sunroof. A dark Blue Premium that had all features requested with some additional options was on the lot, and that's the one we came home with. So Luxury vs Premium really depends on features that's important to you. Normally, dealerships will add optional features to trim packages and have them on the lot, and that's what happened to us.

Totally get that! I guess all the features on the luxury are cool and nice to have… but not “needed” per se.

so I don't care for a sunroof but it is a nice to have. others seem to like it more than me. I also have owned convertible vehicles a lot so I get my hair in the wind fix other ways... the captains chars were a selling point for me because it's more spacious and I rarely take over 4 people anywhere...

really the nicer seats are what drew me towards that trim level. i am a blue car guy but to be honest I settled with white because this was legit the only TX350 in the state of MA I could find with a factory installed trailer hitch...
