Of the 22 current Toyota models on this page, 19 offer all-wheel drive (AWD) or four-wheel drive (4WD): 14 with AWD and five with 4WD. Seven of the 19 have it on every version; on the other 12, some versions use front-wheel drive (FWD) or rear-wheel drive (RWD) instead. If an AWD SUV is on your list for Central Indiana winters, you can shop our new Toyota SUVs as you compare.
Of those seven, six come only with AWD: the GR Corolla, 2026 Crown, Crown Signia, C-HR, Highlander and bZ Woodland. The seventh, the Land Cruiser, comes only with 4WD.

Toyota also sells the Prius Plug-in Hybrid and the RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid, including the RAV4 GR SPORT; ask us about the drive system on the one you're considering.
Toyota gives its AWD and 4WD systems separate names, and the EPA rates AWD and 4WD as separate drive types. Toyota uses AWD on its cars, crossovers, SUVs and the Sienna minivan. Its 4WD systems are on the 4Runner, Tacoma, Tundra, Sequoia and Land Cruiser.
Toyota describes three of its AWD systems:
Electronic On-Demand AWD is the name on 10 of the 14 AWD models in the table, at least on some versions.
The 2026 Toyota Corolla’s Hybrid system uses a dedicated electric drive motor to automatically supply power to the rear wheels for instant improvement in traction.
For the 2026 Crown's traditional hybrid and the Crown Signia, the system can send the rear wheels up to 80% of the power. The Crown Signia's system can also run automatically in front-wheel-drive mode to optimize efficiency.
Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD is on the 2026 Highlander XSE, Limited and Platinum. Toyota says it "improves responsiveness and stability, sending up to 50 percent of the power to the rear and then distributing more power to the wheel that needs it."
GR-FOUR AWD on the 2026 GR Corolla has three power settings the driver selects, each with its own front-to-rear torque split.
Here is the front-to-rear torque split for each GR-FOUR setting.
| GR-FOUR setting | Torque split, front to rear |
|---|---|
| Normal | 60:40 |
| Track | 60:40 to 30:70 |
| Gravel | 50:50 |
Toyota's 4WD comes in part-time and full-time versions. Full-time 4WD is on the 2027 Land Cruiser, the 4WD versions of the 2026 4Runner Limited and Platinum, and the 2026 Tacoma Limited i-FORCE MAX. Every other 4WD Toyota in the table uses part-time 4WD.
You'll also see these AWD names:
For the same model, model year and engine, the EPA usually rates the AWD or 4WD version of the Toyotas below about 1 to 3 mpg lower combined. On the electric 2027 bZ, AWD costs efficiency and driving range instead. This table pairs each two-wheel-drive version with its matching AWD or 4WD version, using EPA-estimated combined ratings.
| Model, year and version | Two-wheel drive | AWD or 4WD | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 Prius vs. Prius AWD | 55 mpg | 53 mpg | 2 mpg less |
| 2027 Prius XLE/LTD vs. Prius AWD XLE/LTD | 51 mpg | 48 mpg | 3 mpg less |
| 2027 Corolla Hybrid with Normal and Eco modes | 50 mpg | 48 mpg | 2 mpg less |
| 2027 Corolla Hybrid with Sport, Normal and Eco modes | 47 mpg | 44 mpg | 3 mpg less |
| 2026 Camry LE | 51 mpg | 50 mpg | 1 mpg less |

| 2026 Sequoia | 22 mpg | 20 mpg | 2 mpg less |
| 2026 4Runner (gas) | 22 mpg | 21 mpg | 1 mpg less |
| 2027 bZ XLE FWD Plus vs. XLE AWD (74.7 kWh battery) | 131 MPGe, 314 miles of range | 120 MPGe, 288 miles of range | 11 MPGe and 26 miles less |
| 2027 bZ Limited | 125 MPGe, 299 miles of range | 117 MPGe, 278 miles of range | 8 MPGe and 21 miles less |
A model without a two-wheel-drive version, such as the Highlander or Land Cruiser, has nothing to pair with, so it isn't in the table. The Camry rows show 2026 ratings because the EPA hasn't rated the 2027 Camry yet. The Corolla Hybrid and Prius each take two rows: the EPA rates two Corolla Hybrid versions, one with Normal and Eco modes and one that adds a Sport mode, and it rates the Prius in two groups.
If the AWD version fits your plans, you can look over our Toyota financing options before you visit.
Whether you need AWD depends on where and how you drive. This table shows a normal winter here in Central Indiana, based on National Weather Service normals for 1991 through 2020.
| Normal winter measure | Figure |
|---|---|
| Snow in a year | 25.5 inches |
| Snow from December through February | 21.2 inches |
| Days a year with a high at or below 32°F | 27 |
| Days a year with a low at or below 0°F | 3 |
| First measurable snow | Around November 24 |
| Last measurable snow | Around March 16 |
| Winter days with an inch or more on the ground | About one in four |
Hamilton County, north of Indianapolis, runs slightly snowier than the city. Indianapolis sits near the line where winter storms switch between rain and snow, so winter here brings freezing rain, sleet and freeze-thaw swings along with snow. Some winters bring very little snow: 2022-23 brought just 5.7 inches, about a quarter of the December-through-February normal.
The land is flat and open. North of roughly 191st Street, open farmland lets snow blow and drift across north-county roads, which are also exposed to crosswinds.
On the main routes, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) pre-treats with brine before storms and re-salts every 2 to 3 hours. Brine goes down even on frosty or freezing-drizzle days that bring no snow. SR 37, I-69, US 31, SR 32 and 146th Street are priority routes.
For the 2026 Sienna, Toyota says: "Whether you're on gravel, rain or snow, Sienna's available Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system helps give you confidence on unfamiliar roads and surfaces."
Tell us where your winter miles take you, and we'll go over the AWD and two-wheel-drive versions of the Toyota you like.
The AWD and 4WD Toyotas fall into three groups: cars, SUVs and crossovers (with the Sienna minivan), and trucks and 4x4s.
Five Toyota cars offer AWD:
Nine AWD Toyotas are SUVs, crossovers or the Sienna minivan:
Five Toyotas offer 4WD instead of AWD:
Three questions narrow down which AWD or 4WD Toyota fits your driving.
Whichever Toyota you're leaning toward, check the current new Toyota specials before you decide, then schedule a test drive to see how its AWD or 4WD system feels on the road. If the car you drive now needs attention before winter, you can look into our tire service or read our winter service FAQ.
Of the 22 current models we cover, 14 offer AWD, and five more offer 4WD instead, for 19 in all. The Highlander, Crown Signia, 2026 Crown, GR Corolla, C-HR and bZ Woodland have AWD on every version. The Camry, Prius, RAV4, Sienna, Corolla Cross, bZ and Grand Highlander offer AWD alongside front-wheel drive, as does the Corolla on its Hybrid LE and SE grades. For an AWD SUV or crossover, start with our new Toyota SUVs.
Among the models we cover, the Corolla Hatchback, GR86 and Mirai offer neither. On the 2027 Corolla sedan, all three gas grades and the Hybrid XLE are front-wheel drive only.
No. Toyota gives them separate names, and the EPA rates them as separate drive types. Toyota's AWD is on its cars, crossovers, SUVs and the Sienna minivan, while its 4WD is on the Tacoma, Tundra, 4Runner, Sequoia and Land Cruiser. That 4WD comes in part-time and full-time versions; the 2027 Land Cruiser, for one, has full-time 4WD.
It's the AWD name Toyota uses most often: 10 of the 14 AWD models we cover carry it on at least some versions, including the Camry, Prius, RAV4 and Sienna. In the 2026 Corolla Hybrid's version of the system, a dedicated electric drive motor automatically powers the rear wheels for what Toyota calls an "instant improvement in traction."
AWD usually costs about 1 to 3 mpg combined in EPA ratings when you compare the same model, year and engine. The 2026 RAV4 LE and SE, for example, rate 43 mpg combined with front-wheel drive and 42 mpg with AWD. On the electric 2027 bZ, AWD costs 21 to 26 miles of EPA-estimated range.
It depends on where and how you drive. Normal annual snowfall in Central Indiana is 25.5 inches, and winter also brings freezing rain, sleet and freeze-thaw swings. North of roughly 191st Street, snow drifts across north-county roads, while the state pre-treats and re-salts priority routes such as SR 37, I-69 and US 31. We're glad to talk through your winter drive and the Toyota you're considering.
Yes. On the 2026 RAV4, the XSE, Woodland and Limited come only with AWD, and the LE, SE and XLE Premium offer front-wheel drive or AWD. Toyota calls the system Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive. You can shop new RAV4 inventory with us.
