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.

  Feeling of Disappointment. - 2011 Lexus RX 350
  By barcelonafcfan - July 24 - 8:58 am

  Having some experience with Toyota (used to work for the company), Im pretty familiar with their technology and at the same time must say that Im disapointed. Me and my wife bouhgt the car fully loaded with the tow package and after 1300 miles the transmission went out, wow that was a shock to me. Please dont get me wrong, I still think it is a great car but for over $40K I expect a lot more. Of course it doesnt happen every day with Lexus products but when it does happen to you Im sure all of us would have doubts. The drive is OK, but if you are for more sporty style of driving go with the German car, mainly Audi Q5 which I drove and it blew me away, its handling and resposivness.

  Lives up to the Lexus name! - 2011 Lexus RX 350
  By Keith - February 26 - 10:26 am

  This SUV is everything you expect in a Lexus: comfortable, quiet and reliable. A couple of the features I really like are the steering headlights and the ventilated seats. The only real disappointment is the navigation system which only allows voice access when driving, which really limits what you can do with it. For example, you cant get it to look up a POI in a given city, it will only tell you POIs near you.

  I hope the new ones ride better. - 2011 Lexus RX 350
  By jamiedaniel - February 2 - 1:50 pm

  I got my RX in Feb this year with 9,000 miles on it. Now I think I know why the original owner traded it. The suspension is way too stiff, and noisy. You feel every bump and the rear suspension lets you know with loud booms. This thing rides like a Mercedes ML. Thats not good. Also, with all the bouncing around, the back seat emits all kinds of noise. Keeping it folded down seems to help. I dont want a car so soft it wallows and has tons of body roll, but this is just ridiculous. Other than that, Im ok with the rest of the car. The leather and other materials feel good. Its fairly quiet. Im getting 23mpg on premium.

  Happy as can be! - 2011 Lexus RX 350
  By Alex Kolesnikov - December 30 - 4:53 pm

  I recently traded my 2008 BMW X5 in for this 2011 Lexus RX350. The main reason I got rid of the BMW was because of the horrible and I mean horrible reliability, and everyone knows if you wanted a reliable luxury car you choose a Lexus. Weve had the car now for a couple days and the transition was much easier than expected. The Lexus has many more features than the old BMW and its MUCH more comfortable, the ride is smooth, the interior is well appointed and the cabin is very quiet when driving. Very happy that we chose to buy the RX350, you wont regret it.

  new vs. old - 2011 Lexus RX 350
  By busseyky - June 22 - 10:51 pm

  the 2010 rx is not as driver friendly as the older models. I should have spent a few dollars on my "99 with 150k miles and kept it

  Daves Luxury SUV - 2011 Lexus RX 350
  By DaveG - January 30 - 6:55 am

  This car rides better than Mercedes, BMW, and Audi SUVs. It has low noise level, and 350 hp engine gives great pick up when entering highways. Best SUV I have ever driven.

  6-1/2 years old and zero repairs - 2011 Lexus RX 350
  By Matthew - November 30 - 12:26 am

  No repair of any kind ever needed since I bought this car new in 2011. Just regular maintenance. Had the same story on my previous RX350. Unbeatable reliability. Its no BMW (I have owned a couple of those) but you feel firmly in control in any highway or city situation. Wife and I are older, and we appreciate the ease of getting in and out plus the advantage of sitting higher than much of the traffic. Very comfortable ride and satisfactory all around vehicle for normal driving. Son-in-law has one just like mine, someone pulled onto the highway right in front of him with traffic at 60mph. He swerved to avoid the idiot, got bounced back and forth between an oncoming pickup and another one behind him, rolled 4 times, all 11 airbags deployed and he crawled out of the sunroof with just a sore neck. His car was squashed front and back. Automatic fuel cutoff and doorlocks. Thats pretty good safety.
