RX500h Direct4 system

[flookyk]

Anyone know how the Direct4 system works on the new RX500h?

I know it is no longer going to be a CVT but 6 speed auto with the front electric motor between the engine and transmission but what about the rear?

Is there going to be a front to rear propshaft in addition to the electric motor or just the electric motor only as the current RX450h?

Likely electric motor only on the rear

I managed to find diagrams of it online.. it still uses electric only on the rear .. so what I was hoping.
