Which Hybrid Vehicles Have AWD?

Hybrid vehicles have gained popularity as the automotive world shifts towards eco-friendly options. However, many drivers still want the added traction and security that comes with all-wheel drive (AWD).

Manufacturers are responding to this demand by offering a growing selection of hybrid vehicles with AWD capabilities.

It turns out that there are two primary categories of hybrid vehicles: “standard” hybrids and plug-in hybrids.

1. Plug-in hybrids allow you to charge up the battery with AC power, much like a fully electric vehicle. You then can drive electric-only for a limited range. These have greater fuel efficiency than non-plug hybrids.
2. “Standard” hybrids can’t be charged at a charging station. The electric motor acts as an assist to the gas engine.

One way to think of the difference: plug-ins are closer to all-electric vehicles, while “standard” hybrids are closer to all-gas vehicles. Both types use electric motors to enhance the fuel economy of an internal combustion engine, but plug-ins give more assistance. See our article comparing hybrids to plug-in hybrids for more.
