Which Lexus Models Have All-Wheel Drive?

Here at North Park Lexus Rio Grande Valley, we’re proud to offer a wide variety of high-quality Lexus vehicles in all shapes and sizes. Whether you’re looking for a two-door coupe, a full-size family SUV, or anything in between, we’ve got you covered! As you shop for your next ride, you’ll come across terms like “FWD,” “RWD,” and “AWD.” If you’re not sure what these mean, don’t worry! The team at North Park Lexus Rio Grande Valley is here to help.

“FWD” and “RWD” refer to “front-wheel drive” and “rear-wheel drive,” respectively, and involve torque and power being directed to either your front or rear wheels. “AWD,” by contrast, refers to “all-wheel drive,” and directs power to all four wheels at once. AWD is a better drivetrain if you’re looking for improved traction or if you’re interested in taking your vehicle off-road. The Lexus AWD system is advanced enough that it can actually keep track of your driving conditions and distribute power to different wheels as needed! Check out the guide below from North Park Lexus Rio Grande Valley to discover the full list of Lexus all-wheel drive models.
