Default How to tell AWD or 2WD

How do you tell on the 2010+ RX just by looking at the vehicle (not putting it on a lift or crawling under it or running the VIN) if it is AWD or 2WD? I know in the previous generation you could look for a button beside the drivers left knee.

Well if its a 2011- 2012 bought in Canada it will be an AWD as there was no other way to buy it. Not sure about the 2010's.

I did do a search and that did not appear.

The quickest way is to look at the lock button on the center console, but with the 450h, you need to look at the 4th letter in the VIN.

Yes, all 2010 Canadian-market spec RXs were AWD.
