Frequently asked questions about AWD Hybrids
Yes, there are hybrid vehicles available with all-wheel drive (AWD) capabilities. AWD hybrids combine the fuel efficiency of hybrid technology with the enhanced traction and stability of all-wheel drive.
Both (hybrids and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs)) have great gas mileage. For example, hybrids like the Toyota Prius can get as much as 57 miles per gallon, while PHEVs like the Kia Niro Plug-In can get more than 50 mpg and go more than 30 miles in all-electric mode. However, if you regularly charge your PHEV, you can reduce your fuel costs considerably by driving in EV mode.
