The donor SUV is AWD, by the way.
Since the Outlander has a transversely-oriented engine, it might be even more challenging to keep the proportions close to stock with that narrow cowl from the Model T.

I think Toyota has a couple of RWD front engine hybrids. Their flagship Lexus sedan is, and I think there's a Lexus RWD hybrid coupe.
Nowadays almost every Lexus has at least one hybrid version, and in some markets (mostly in Europe) it now follows a hybrid-only approach.

BMW & Merc also do PHEV RWD hybrids.
Though I've never seen a hybrid Mercedes-Benz, recently I've seen those BMW i hybrids quite frequently...
