Best AWD Hybrid Sedans

Hybrid vehicles now appear in many forms, from cars, pickup trucks, SUVs, MPVs, and even sports cars. Some models focus on fuel economy, while others use a combination of gasoline and electricity to significantly improve performance. Faced with so many hybrid options on the market, it is not easy to distinguish which ones are just "good" and which ones are truly "excellent". Because of this, we have included almost every hybrid model in a comprehensive testing system.

The ranking of Car and Driver is derived from the large amount of instrument test data we conduct on hundreds of cars every year, as well as the professional subjective experience gained by the editorial team in actual driving. We ranked the best hybrid cars based on approximately 200 data points, covering multiple dimensions such as acceleration, handling, comfort, cargo space, fuel efficiency, cost performance and driving pleasure. We take rankings very seriously because we want you to have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the vehicles you are interested in.

If you want a hybrid with all-wheel drive, an SUV is not the only option. There are many hybrid and plug-in hybrid cars on the market that also offer AWD systems. Here we selected and ranked a variety of models from mainstream brands and luxury brands.
