Is the heated steering wheel an option or standard on the 2019 Niro EV Premium? I read somewhere the "EX Premium Launch Package" might be required, but when I browse pictures on some dealer websites I see the button for the heated steering wheel on the center console. Was this something that was added mid-year as standard equipment perhaps?

Same question in regards to Homelink buttons on the rear-view mirror?

If I see a model with the Launch Package, should I go for that vs regular if all things are equal?

Thanks!
 
I have the EX Premium (not launch edition), and don't have the winter package and I have the heated steering wheel. I thought it was standard on the EX Premium. I bought mine June 2019.

Oh sorry I stand corrected, I guess it was the Premium trim rather than the Winter Package - but it wasn't restricted to those with the Launch Package.
 
At my local dealer I found a few cars that had the Launch Package listed in the details. Curiously, the HomeLink rear-view mirror was missing but the heated steering wheel was there. I think I am even more confused now! The Window sticker did not display the addition of the package either.

Anyone have any background to share (US model) on this package? Was it only limited to the first cars rolled out last year, then they they had a standard configuration that included some stuff? Anyone with HomeLink but no Launch Package?

I found the specs for the package -
EX Premium Launch Package
Auto-Dimming Rearview Mirror w/HomeLink, LED Headlamps, Heated Steering Wheel, Cargo Cover (w/SEV), Forward & Reverse Parking Distance Warning
 
Home link was only on the first cars. Regardless of what the description says if there is no home link it is not a launch edition. After the first cars there was not another launch edition.
