The 2011 Lexus RX for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2011 Lexus RX for sale by us right now. For anyone shopping for the 2011 Lexus RX, here are the facts that matter.
Recalls and complaints
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Under the hood
Power: the 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid; drive: front-wheel drive. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Combined fuel use is 8.0 L/100 km: about 24 litres for 300 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $12.40 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,850 a year for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
Inside and out
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
A longer test drive
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Drive the RX on your commute before you commit to it.
Picking a year and a trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Within the 2011 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
What it costs to run
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $124 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.40 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
