How do you know it's an AWD BEV from the video? I watched it twice and just enjoyed the CGI haha.
Hopefully with torque vectoring. Come on, it's like a $1,700 CAD option on the Taycan here in Canada.

At 4 seconds into the movie:

And yes, I know, I'm a PhotoShop master ahahahah
From the picture above we can also see it's eTNGA platform (given battery pack proportions) and most likely water-cooled, it's not a very good design to be air-cooled.

As far as torque vectoring goes, Lexus isn't clear, but it seems there is at least some kind of brake-bias torque control.
Im thinking it might debut the Direct4 system. Totally speculation on my part.
It should be, this concept was briefly mentioned in the Direct 4 presentation:
@Gecko , considering front/rear overhangs… From the eTNGA Toyota presentation I’ve shared above, this car should have a long front overhang and a short rear overhang… Given only C, with a small battery pack shows a short overhang combined with a short wheelbase…
This may not mean a long front overhang like the ones they’ve now… It could only mean a long front overhang for a eTNGA car… Let’s wait for the production version.
