Do any hybrids have all-wheel drive?

It once seemed unheard of for a hybrid vehicle to boast all-wheel drive. Hybrids simply weren’t for people who placed a top priority on power and capability; they were for those who cared far more for fuel economy numbers than horsepower or torque.
Now, though, technology has changed, and hybrid vehicles in particular have come a long way. In view of this current state of things, what about the drivetrain? Do any hybrids have all-wheel drive?

Hybrid Vehicles with All-Wheel Drive Capability

Yes, many modern hybrids offer all-wheel drive, particularly if they are of the SUV body-type. This is especially true when it comes to our favorite automaker, Lexus. Lexus is already the most prolific luxury brand around when it comes to hybrid vehicles. And to make matters even better, many of those hybrid machines are offered only in an all-wheel drive configuration.
Check out our list below of all the Lexus hybrids that come in all-wheel drive. In fact, three of the four following vehicles are SUVs, and are offered in only an all-wheel drive configuration. The last one is a sedan and is available with either rear-wheel or all-wheel drive.
