Torque vectoring AWD on RX350 AWD 2.4 Turbo?
Can anybody tell me if the AWD 2.4 turbo model has torque vectoring AWD which I understand delivers torque to individual wheels not just front to rear? This is my first post I'm very happy to be here and looking forward to purchasing a 2023 very shortly after doing some homework.

no, just regular AWD (either on or off to the rear wheels), as far as I know.
Thought I had seen different numbers of blue squares on the AWD display assigned to the left and right rear wheels, might be just a presentation

The stability control system can probably shuffle torque between the rear wheels.

You might like this video. It's an off road situation but still gives an idea of the systems capabilities. 5:40 point in particular

From the Lexus press release when thr new RX was first launched:
See: https://pressroom.lexus.com/the-evol...2023-lexus-rx/
So there is some modulation of power front to back but not side to side, unless achieved through automated braking as mentioned above.
The new 275-hp turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine realizes higher torque (317 lb.-ft.) and higher output thanks to several advanced technologies like a center injection system (for more stable combustion), lightweight, spherical lipless pistons (for high-speed combustion) and a continuously variable capacity oil pump (to modify discharge volume based on running conditions). A short-ratio eight-speed Direct Shift-8AT offers an improved shift control program for smooth acceleration and deceleration. The electronically controlled full-time AWD constantly varies the front-to-rear driving force distribution from 75:25 to 50:50 (depending on situation) to achieve an optimal contact patch and linear steering feel.
