2011 Buick Lucerne Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
Good-looking, comfortable, smooth and loaded with standard features, the 2011 Buick Lucerne carries on the tradition of entry-level luxury. This full-size five- or six-passenger sedan stands just below Cadillac in terms of status and appeal, and is available in four trims, the base CX, mid-level CXL, up-level EXL and the top-of-the-line Super. Lower-level trims are powered by a flex-fuel V6, while the Super gets a regular-gas-only V8. Boasting a larger trunk than its LaCrosse stablemate (17 cubic feet), the Lucerne still offers plenty of passenger room and enough cabin ambiance to satisfy all but the most discerning tastes. Meantime, Chrysler’s legendary 300, Ford’s re-introduced Taurus, Hyundai's well-regarded Genesis and Toyota's new-look Avalon remain the Lucerne’s most avid competition. Relatively unchanged from 2010, this showboat should boast standard electronic stability control and available Bluetooth hands-free communication technology across the lineup. Rumor has it that the Lucerne may even be available in a rear-wheel-drive version at some point in the near future.
For 2011, the front-wheel-drive-only (FWD) Lucerne is expected to stick with a pair of engines, with a standard 3.9-liter Flex Fuel V6 powering the lower-end trims and a 4.6-liter V8 equipping the top-shelf Super trim level. The Flex Fuel V6 puts out 227 hp and 237 lb-ft of torque, and variable valve timing allows an estimated 17/26 mpg. The Super’s V8 will pound down 292 hp and 288 lb-ft of torque at an estimated 15/22 using recommended premium unleaded gasoline.
Expected standard appearance, comfort and convenience features for the 2011 Lucerne CX should include 17-inch aluminum wheels, cloth upholstery, front bucket seats with power-adjustable driver’s seat, remote keyless power door locks, power windows and heated mirrors, leather-wrapped steering wheel with mounted audio and cruise controls, dual-zone automatic climate control, universal remote garage door opener, single-CD player with six speakers, XM satellite radio and OnStar navigation (with subscription). The notched-up CXL adds a power moonroof, leather-trimmed upholstery, driver memory functions and heated, power-adjustable front seats. The up-level SXL throws in standard full-leather upholstery, DVD navigation and upgraded Harman Kardon audio with nine speakers, while the top-shelf Super adds 18-inch chrome wheels, heated, power-adjustable telescoping tilt-wheel steering and an adaptive suspension.
Expect options, meanwhile, to range from new-for-2011 Bluetooth technology, leather and front bench seating in the CX trim to upgraded premium audio with a 6-CD changer, chrome wheels, HDD navigation and remote engine start in the CXL and EXL trims. The Super, meanwhile, tacks on available suede-trimmed leather and rear-seat DVD entertainment.
The 2011 Lucerne CX is expected to be delivered with such standard safety features as four-wheel disc ABS, traction control, new-for-2011 stability control, front side-mounted airbags, front and rear head airbags and daytime running lights. The CXL adds standard parking sensors and vehicle alarm, while the EXL and Super add standard front fog/driving lights, remote anti-theft alarm and lane-departure and blind-spot warning systems.
Owners of the 2010 Lucerne complain of some build-quality issues and chintzy interior materials, while mileage is also considered less than perfect. Some owners also find the four-speed automatic dated from a mileage perspective, though admittedly smooth and dependable. The once-deplored lack of standard stability control, however, is expected to be remedied for 2011. Owners do find the Lucerne a stylish, comfortable and family-friendly sedan that’s priced right, boasts better-than-adequate performance features and remains loaded with all the bells and whistles one could want.

The Buick Lucerne is a great model. I have one and wanted to buy another one.
Unfortunately, this car had some serious problems: Some peeling paint on its front, a mis-shaped front right quarter panel from a collision, a poorly fitting door, and mismatched tires.
The dealer did not budge at all from his advertised price, which was well above the highest KBB value.Feb 19, 2024

Bought this beautiful gold metallic 2011 Lucerne new. Have taken many trips but mostly city driving. Milage is at around 41000 now. I would certainly buy another If I decided that I wanted a new car. Unfortunately 2011 was the last year for the LucerneDec 13, 2023

When I went to look at car. Carvana said nothing about the lane daparture camera was gone. I check the transmission dipstick and there wasnt any fluid on it. That is an absolute no go for me. The whole underside of car was sandblasted, which is ok but without applying some sort of rust protection this car would have rusted out from under your feet literally. Wasnt worth what they were asking.Jun 22, 2022

I’ve had hundreds of cars in my lifetime mainly because I was in businesses that dealt in cars. The Buick Lucerne stands out from all of those cars as probably being about the best one I’ve ever owned. It has all the things you ‘d ever want in a car, powerful, roomy, great looking and really good on gas for the size of car that it is. With the right tires it’s amazing in snow every bit as good as a four-wheel-drive. The other thing is that it is trouble free. I have not had to replace anything in almost 80,000 miles. This is Buick’s best kept secret! Dec 18, 2020

Its a nice looking and roomy car both interior and trunk. I has my features especially for it being 12 to 18 years old. It handles a little sloppy and is only average dependability.May 28, 2020

It's an uninspiring boat, a bulky, lumbering, gas guzzling monster, with a grille that looks like a cow-catcher. Rear visibility is so bad, I still can't park the darn thing. It's a poor replacement for the LeSabre. When will they learn to leave well enough alone?Aug 09, 2013

BUICK LUCERNE Options
I own a 2009 Lucerne CXL Special Edition I purchased used in 2014. I'm looking for a similar one, but none of them on Gurus or similar sites have dual climate control seats...ie, they are heated but Not Cooled. Wass the dual climate a Special Order option? It had to be because its not on any other Special Edition , Premium or CXL of any type I'm seeing. They all have Heated, you can tell by the door buttons. Only Two means heat all or heat back. Three buttons adds the Cool Air option. I can get away without it, just I'm not in a hurry so continuing to look for it. 2009-2011 preferably.
