All-Wheel Drive Models

Across the entire lineup of Lexus vehicles are several sedans and SUVs equipped with all-wheel drive. These vehicles can provide additional traction and stability during inclement weather conditions, giving Lexus owners an advantage in safety and performance. Lexus engineers have worked tirelessly to perfect the brand’s all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive systems to excel in all types of weather and road surface conditions.

Benefits Of Lexus All-wheel Drive

In response to road conditions, Lexus AWD technology automatically directs power to two or four wheels as necessary, improving traction in both dry and wet conditions. With the capability of turning corners with extraordinary smoothness, the Lexus dynamic AWD system includes a Cornering Control Function, which adjusts the front and rear driving force to compensate for understeering or oversteering, enhancing both stability and control. Efficiency remains a top priority, as wheels receive the extra power only when necessary.
