Consequently, a greater amount of drive force is distributed to the outside rear wheel, inducing an additional rotational pulse (yaw moment) around the vehicle's vertical axis.

The suspension is double - wishbone up front and multi-link out the back, which adds a little extra positive toe - in for the outside rear wheel when cornering.

Toyota says depending on the radius of the curve, the system can send more torque to the outside rear wheel, allowing higher cornering speeds into the corner (middle - speed curves); apply more braking force to the inside wheel (fast curves); or even brake and accelerate each wheel independently (slow curves) to adjust the yaw effect for a better line, and to limit steering angle and understeer.

This «torque vectoring» operates automatically and seamlessly, and allows SH - AWD ® to overdrive the outside rear wheel up to 1.7 - percent faster than the front wheels - thus creating a «yaw moment» that allows the ZDX to better rotate around a corner while minimizing vehicle understeer.
