Why is All-Wheel Drive Important?

All-wheel drive is important for performance reasons and general safety and handling. With all-wheel drive, your car will have an easier time traversing roads that are covered in rain, snow, or ice. Year-round, all-wheel drive is also a good choice of drivetrain for drivers who want more grip and confidence when turning or cornering at higher speeds. As you drive along, the all-wheel drive system provides all four wheels with even power in normal operating conditions. If you are driving on a slippery road and one or two wheels lose their grip and traction, the car's sensors will switch power over to the wheels that are more stable. The vehicle's all-wheel drive system may direct power to the front or back wheels as needed to maximize fuel economy and performance.

How Does All-Wheel Drive Work on a Lexus?

All-wheel drive will improve performance and handling for your Lexus. The system is offered on the automaker's sedans, SUVs, and coupes. On a Lexus, all-wheel drive will automatically send power to either the front wheels, back wheels, or all four wheels to help provide maximum traction. All-wheel drive can distribute power in either a 50-50 or a 30-70 distribution, which means that power is distributed evenly across all four wheels, or a set of wheels may get more power to help the car navigate through wet, slippery, or unpredictable conditions. Cornering Control is a special feature added exclusively to Lexus vehicles with AWD to correct and re-balance the car in case of under-steering or over-steering.
