Spoiler alert: They’re all Toyotas. Let’s say you live in a northern climate and need all-weather traction for a snowy winter commute. And while your parking situation doesn’t leave you a place to plug in, you want to keep it as green and efficient as possible. All-wheel-drive hybrids are an underrepresented vehicle type for some...
