Yes , there are other methods / options, that also can do this function.

How the different methods will compare , is in the details of specific cases ... not all designs of any platform are equal ... not even two motors ( electric, ICE, or Hydraulic ) are equal in all aspects of $ , performance, etc.

A separate question about OEM on the market one can just walk in and buy vehicles would be different ... but AFAIK that criteria would also rule out the proposed In-Wheel HH.

Also 'the cheapest car you can buy' criteria , will rule out a lot of things ... including the proposed In-Wheel HH ... used beater cars can be bought VERY cheap.
