Front- or All-Wheel Drive

The RX 400h front-wheel drive (FWD) and part-time all-wheel drive (AWD) both interact with the Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) [1] system for superior handling. With part-time AWD, the rear axle's electric motor activates the rear wheels for improved traction and better acceleration.

[1]Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) is an electronic system designed to help the driver maintain vehicle control under adverse conditions. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver steering input can all affect whether VDIM will be effective in preventing a loss of control. Please see your Owner's Manual for further details. Back to top
