But this gain is only under the charging floor, where the plug-in has a thin but large false bottom. On the other hand, only the full hybrid has an all-wheel drive alternative: the system is built using a conventional drive shaft, which automatically disengages when 4×4 is no longer required for lower fuel consumption.
