TRACTION MEETS EFFICIENCY HYBRID AWD

OVERVIEW: HYBRID ALL-WHEEL DRIVE

TRACTION MEETS EFFICIENCY HYBRID AWD

You don't have to sacrifice capability for efficiency. Case in point? Toyota's hybrid vehicles with available all-wheel drive (AWD). These clever drivetrain technologies help drivers feel confident and in control ? whether in challenging weather (rain, snow, etc.), loose terrain (gravel, grass, etc.), or even just taking tight turns ? and they do so without all the mechanical components of traditional AWD. Let's take a closer look.

ELECTRONIC ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD)

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE-e (AWD-e)4

RAV4 Hybrid Highlander Hybrid

Geared toward replicating full mechanical AWD capability, including light off-road1 use.

C U R R E N T LY

OFFERED ON

PURPOSE

Prius

Geared toward providing additional traction and improved handling during everyday driving conditions, without compromising fuel economy.

Engages on demand whenever traction loss is detected,

including at higher speeds.

2020 RAV4 Hybrid AWD: EPA-est. 41/38/40 mpg

(city/hwy/comb)2

2020 Highlander Hybrid AWD: Manufacturer-est. 35/35/35 mpg

(city/hwy/comb)3

A rear motor provides its own torque to the rear wheels, with no mechanical connection to the front drivetrain. Larger design is suitable

for larger vehicles and produces more power than AWD-e.

FUNCTIONALITY EFFICIENCY DESIGN

Engages from 0-6 mph, and then on demand when traction loss is detected at speeds up to 43 mph.

2020 Prius AWD-e: EPA-est. 52/48/50 mpg (city/hwy/comb)5

A smaller rear motor provides its own torque to the rear wheels, with no mechanical connect to the front drivetrain. 25% more compact design is ideal for sedans.
