AWD is optimized for on-road use. It has the capability to send the engine's power to all four tires all of the time. It will help keep your vehicle moving forward better than front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive on snow-covered or rain-slicked roads.

Neither of the two options is specifically “better” than the other; it depends on what you need AWD or 4WD for. AWD and 4WD provide better handling, but you'd want AWD if you ride on rough roads during harsh weather, while 4WD is better for those who have heavy hauls on the job site or spend time off the pavement.

The North American RX models are manufactured in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada and have about 25 percent of their parts coming from Japan. The RX is also manufactured in Toyota's plant in Fukuoka, Kyushu, Japan for markets outside North America with 64 percent of its parts coming from Japan.

All models except for the ES, RX and RX Hybrid are produced in Japan. Lexus has a plant in Lexington, Kentucky, that produces its ES model. Meanwhile, the RX and RX Hybrid are manufactured at the brand's plant in Cambridge, Ontario.

What's New for the 2023 Lexus RX? A brand-new design has made the 2023 Lexus RX more impressive than ever and it is set to arrive at dealerships at the end of 2022.

All models, particularly the RX 350 and RX 500h F Sport Performance, impressed. In general, the 2023 RX delivers a smooth, quiet, and composed ride with solid, in not neck-snapping, performance. The cabin offers excellent seating, good visibility, and plenty of room for passengers, both up front and in back.

All of the 2023 Lexus RX 350 trims draw 275 horsepower from the same four-cylinder, turbo 2.4-liter gas engine. The eight-speed auto transmission is standard; both front-wheel and all-wheel drive versions are available. The 2023 Lexus RX 350h has a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine connected to an electric motor.

The exclusive Lexus AWD system automatically sends power to two or four wheels as needed to improve traction. The drivetrain can redistribute power between the front and rear axles from 50/50 to as much as 30/70 if needed. This technology also includes Cornering Control to correct oversteer and understeer.

One of the main benefits of AWD or 4WD is that a vehicle fitted with one of these systems will accelerate from a standing start with greater traction than a two-wheel-drive vehicle. This is especially the case when the road is wet or slippery, as the traction is distributed more equally between all four wheels.
