Which Lexus Models Have AWD?

Many vehicles are available with all-wheel drive, but Lexus AWD is a lot more than a conventional all-wheel drive system. Specialized technology actively monitors ground conditions and sends power to two, three, or four wheels as needed. Cornering Control keeps you safe on the road in St. Charles by automatically correcting oversteer and understeer. Best of all, nearly all new Lexus models are available with Lexus AWD technologies! Read on to discover which models and configurations come standard with, or can be upgraded with Lexus AWD.
