UX engine specs confirmed:

No I don't post peak torque here because it's irrelevant.

So 35hp max battery output, not bad.

edit: NA 2018 Camry HSD has 176hp + 32hp for 208. This is a good sign for 250h powertrain, it will have a nice electric boost.

I thought the Camry uses a 25kW battery so I assumed 35hp from batteries. But 3hp is not a big deal. The idea is that it will use Camry hybrid's battery instead of the less powerful Prius battery.

Yes, the difference might be simply in the way of measuring hp.

As you say, as long as it is 50% more than Prius, that's good.

Is there any performance info?

TOYOTA just announced new 2.0l petrol, hybrid and new awd and e-awd systems as well as new direct shift cvt and 6mt.

All of these will likely debut in new UX in 2 weeks.

Interesting part is video showing performance between old and new awd.... I am pretty sure it shows difference between chr and ux, but cars are blanked out... Still nice video:



Basically it solves a problem that dynamic systems have when a wheel is in the air, as we can see in all those videos where rav4 cant climb steps and ditches.

Nice, it is time for TMC to have a new AWD system with torque vectoring rather than wheel braking. But is is only rear axle right-left torque vectoring, or vectoring each wheel individually? This is definitely needed for the new Land Cruiser, the current one not having rear differential lock, and the Prado deactivating front axle traction control when rear diff lock is engaged.

For proper off-roading (does not concern Lexus, but Toyota), I would like them to stick with solid axles and three diff locks (LC 70).

This is specific system for part time awds, like in fwd applications, as in rav4, chr, nx, ux, etc.

It debuts in 10 days in new lexus ux.

I expect to LF-1 to have a similar set up, but reversed as RWD application.

Unfortunately this is a brake-based torque vectoring system a.k.a. eLSD. D here stands for "device" instead of a real differential: it's all open diffs. The info is in the video Toyota posted.

eLSD gets the job done in lots of scenarios as demonstrated by Subaru, their eLSD equipped AWD system is no worse than previous mechanical systems. But Subaru's torque vectoring is available for all four wheels so this is actually still inferior. Just like before this is an intentional decision on Toyota's part to improve fuel efficiency at the cost of offroad capabilities, but they made a step forward nonetheless.

Don't worry, the BoFs will keep using the good old manual lockers.

It is not just brake based, it has two way clutches on both from and rear driveshafts... so it can actually disconnect the wheel which is obviously way better than just ABS trying to stop it.

If you look at the video, at the end it likely shows CHR vs UX difference, where in CHR (and Rav4), if rear wheel is up, it wont be able to overcome the step.



from the PR:

The new Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD system is used in gasoline engine vehicles. By adopting a torque vectoring mechanism, which independently distributes torque to the left and right rear wheels according to driving conditions, the Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD system enables the driver to steer the vehicle exactly as intended. It achieves high off-road performance even on the toughest roads. It also incorporates a disconnect mechanism, which features the world's first ratchet-type dog clutches* on both the front and rear wheel shafts. These clutches stop the drive system rotations, which transmit driving force to rear wheels when in 2WD mode, significantly reducing energy loss and improving fuel efficiency.
