Overview & Reviews

After a complete redesign last year, the 2011 Lexus RX 350 returns essentially unchanged.

• Premium cabin design and materials, plush ride, composed handling, energetic acceleration, comfortable seating front and rear, top crash test scores, user-friendly multifunction controller.

• No third-seat option, expensive options packages, not as entertaining to drive as sportier rivals.

  Previous RX Owners Might Be Dissapointed - 2011 Lexus RX 350
  By maggiemae1 - September 20 - 7:41 am

  I traded in my 2002 RX with over 130,000 and I0,000 miles and I miss it. Previous RX owners might want to spend a weekend with this car before making a decision. My main complaint is the poorly designed interior. When you cant fit your owners manual in the glove compartment - poor design. When you have to take your eyes off the road to turn on the seat heater - poor design. The driver has to reach behind to get something out of the storage compartment. The list goes on. Feel the weight of the glove compartment door or the weight of the carpet - they dont come close to previous models. This is my third Lexus in ten years, I feel let down by a friend. They can do better than this.

  ARCHAIC NAV SYSTEM - 2011 Lexus RX 350
  By mnorth509 - June 7 - 1:29 am

  First of all, why hasnt Edmunds talked about the archaic nav/radio system in any of their reviews???? I come from the world of Ford/Sirius/SYNC and I was shocked when I realized how old-fashioned the Lexus system is. Yes, I know, I should have kept it for a weekend to discover what a terrible system it is - but I listened to friends who were already Lexus owners, and I read Edmunds reviews and NO ONE told me!!! Have these people never driver another brand of car? You have to jump to two screens to see the title of a song, and then jump BACK to get to the next channel. No color, no logos, just plain old letters that are truncated - you dont even see the whole song title.

  I just picked Lexus RX 350 touring package 2 weeks ago and I am loving it. Fun to drive, the navigation, the back up camera and the interior is awesome.

  Follow Up Of November Purchase of RX350 - 2011 Lexus RX 350
  By maggiemae1 - May 30 - 5:20 pm

  Since my initial review, the following has happened to my RX350. Passenger side window did not work and had to have the entire motor and electrical replaced. My bumper has popped off the body of the car not once, but twice. I have to have a new bumper ordered, painted and installed on a car with less than 10,000 miles. The caps on the windshield wipers have had to be replaced. I cant believe Lexus put its badge on this dog. Unfortunately I own this vehicle.

  LACK OF CUBBIES - 2011 Lexus RX 350
  By bff - April 30 - 7:03 pm

  Where do you put your stuff in this car? No place for pens, note pads, etc. for the driver. The storage in the center console is very difficult to access. And the cell phone charger set-up!!! That has GOT to be improved.

  Amazing automobile - 2011 Lexus RX 350
  By dcmachead - April 25 - 11:22 pm

  The RX 350 is a very well thought out car and quality is evident throughout. The interior is sophisticated without "trying too hard". We got the AWD with navigation, comfort, premium, and tow prep package. The seat ventilation is wonderful in the summer time. Im also in love with the proximity key and the personalization settings of the vehicle. The navigation takes some getting used to, but the hard drive-based navigation is a lot snappier than portable units and DVD-based Nav Ive used on other vehicles. Passenger and driver comfort are amazing. Theres plenty of room for 5 people, though I miss the 3rd row seating of my Honda Pilot.

  Love it - 2011 Lexus RX 350
  By Heineman - November 4 - 6:50 am

  Purchased in 2013/this app wont let me enter the year. This is my first Lexus, and Ive been really pleased with the vehicle and dealer. My only complaint is the stone chip problem -- the paint has only to look at a stone, and it chips. Touch ups -- even those done by my body shop -- dont seem to stick.
