ALL-WHEEL DRIVE

The revolutionary E-FOUR system provides the RX 450h with intelligent four-wheel drive capability. Highly responsive, E-FOUR can instantly allocate torque from the rear electric motor to drive the rear wheels – but only when this is required by driving style or road conditions. Tyre wear, fuel economy and emissions are all reduced by this intelligent, light-weight system.

Active Torque Control AWD is also highly intelligent. When accelerating on a slippery surface, engine power is quickly directed to all four wheels for optimum grip. And when cornering, torque is actively and variably distributed to ensure maximum traction. At higher straight-line speeds in good conditions, power is no longer allocated to the rear wheels, thereby improving fuel efficiency.
