2026 RX 350h Premium+: Nori Green/Black vs White/Palomino. Which deal would you take?
Hi everyone,
We're shopping for a 2026 Lexus RX 350h Premium+ AWD and have narrowed it down to two options. Both have pretty much the same configuration, including the panoramic roof, Technology Package, Convenience Package, etc.
Option 1: Nori Green / Black leather
- MSRP: ~$66k (includes ~$900 in PIOs)
- Dealer discount: ~$3,500 (5.3%)
- Selling price: ~$62.5k
- No Mark Levinson
Option 2: Eminent White Pearl / Palomino leather
- MSRP: ~$67k (includes ~$500 in PIOs)
- Dealer discount: ~$4,300 (6.4%)
- Selling price: ~$63k
- Includes Mark Levinson
Both MSRPs include factory options, PIOs, and destination charges. Selling prices are before taxes and registration.
The difference in selling price is only about $500, with Option 2 being slightly more expensive.
Personally, I really like the Nori Green exterior, but the Palomino interior looks gorgeous too. I'm leaning toward negotiating Option 1 a little further since it doesn't have Mark Levinson, but I'm curious what others think.
For those who own an RX, I'd love to hear your thoughts:
Which exterior/interior combination would you choose?
How does Black leather compare with Palomino in terms of appearance, maintenance, and long-term ownership?
Is Mark Levinson worth having?
How do these dealer discounts look for a 2026 RX 350h Premium+? Would you consider either a particularly good deal, especially considering the different PIO amounts?
We're hoping to keep this car for a long time (10+ years), so I'd appreciate any feedback from current owners.
Thanks!
