MY2017 NX F-Sport Changes

[rayaans]

Just a thread following on from DanD's thread on Solar Flare being made available for the NX F-Sport.

The F-Sport also has an option of black leather seats with red inserts and stitching which was available in other markets but not the UK:

 

The F-Sport also has an option of the "Premier Pack" costing £5750. This includes head up display, memory seats, ML, 360 degree panoramic monitor, auto high beam, adaptive variable suspension with sport+ mode, Premium navigation, heated steering wheel, Lane keep assist and blind spot monitoring system with rear cross traffic alert

So I guess Lexus UK have finally listened to customers and offered the above pack!

@rayaans, does it tempt you from the RX or is the comparative lack of power always going to be a deal breaker?

Very tempting actually 

The issue before was the comparative difference in power AND the lack of other features which I am already used to including the HUD which I find great!

Now the NX will probably be fine for 95% of my journeys and is roughly the same size as the RX anyway which is good as the new RX is a little too big for me I think. 

Going to be an extremely hard decision now!

I love the new leather option. Does it carry a price premium?

I also like the sound of the new Premier Pack. I love the gadgets of the Premier, in particular the auto high-beam (not as good as the RX adaptive high beam though), adaptive cruise and HUD, but I have never been a fan of the Premier's looks, in particular because the wheels and grille don't particularly stand out. Having said that, £5700+ seems rather expensive.

You and me both, the F Sport has for me always been the looker and now that I am leaving the brand they bring one out with all the toys [emoji849]. As usual the website crashed when I tried to build one so I don't know what the cost is for a fully loaded one?

No price premium - though the Lexus UK configurator is only showing it for Azure blue and Solar Flare which is annoying. 

A better picture of it:

An NX300h F-Sport with Metallic Paint, Premier pack and Pan roof is £45640. And the discounts remain the same so it can be had for £41k brand new. 

Its looking like pretty good value for money to me and seriously tempting. Going to have to test drive a few NX300h's I think. Much more manageable size IMO, the RX gets a bit annoying on back streets.
