Question 3

How does the Lexus DIRECT4 AWD system improve cornering in the RX 500h?

Accepted Answer

Lexus DIRECT4 AWD uses sensor data and a dedicated rear e-Axle motor to continuously vary front-to-rear torque distribution between 100:0 and 20:80. In corners, it directs more torque to the rear wheels to help rotate the SUV into turns and maintain handling stability.
