The IS, GS, and LS all offer AWD versions. It's actually a really great system that, in my opinion and experience, far exceeds that offered in the NX and RX.
The basics of the system is that it is typically split 30% front, 70% rear (though I think it's 40/60 in the LS). If needed, it can apply up to 50% to the front. So it's rear biased, letting you retain many of the benefits of RWD, but with some added traction up front.
My IS and now GS are my preferred choice over my previous RX and now Highlander when we go up to the mountains. My GS, by the way, has the hump too, though it's less intrusive. Though I never found it an issue in my IS. I couldn't even contort my leg or foot to bump into it while driving. In my opinion, complaints about it are completely overblown.
