Hmm. I never thought about using an AWD platform like that, but that is a great idea, and it could be applied to any 4WD vehicle.

The Justy is a very small platform, so things would be cramped. I'd imagine the gas tank and rear differential fill the space under the rear seats. Where would you put the electric motor?

If you didn't care about electric mode Wh/mi and gas mode mpg, you might consider a low-budget version of the idea using an S10 with lead-acid batteries under the bed.
