I use below code to get Chrome driver version

    IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    
    ICapabilities capabilities = ((OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriver)driver).Capabilities;

    var SeleniumWebDriverName = driver.GetType().ToString();
    var SeleniumWebDriverVersion = (capabilities.GetCapability("chrome") as Dictionary<string, object>)["chromedriverVersion"];
    Console.WriteLine( "DRIVER NAME ====" + SeleniumWebDriverName );
    Console.WriteLine( "VERSION ====" + SeleniumWebDriverVersion + Environment.NewLine);

Based on the old Yi Zeng answer, I was able to acces with the next code:

IWebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
ICapabilities capabilities = ((WebDriver)driver).Capabilities;
    
// then you have
// capabilities.GetCapability("browserName");
// ...

I've stumbled across an easier way if you just need to know which driver is running to get around a hack:

Driver.GetType().ToString();

In order to get info defined in ICapabilities interface, you need to cast IWebDriver instance to RemoteWebDriver. Then you can get the info about BrowserName, IsJavaScriptEnabled, Platform and Version.

IWebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
ICapabilities capabilities = ((RemoteWebDriver)driver).Capabilities;

// then you have
// capabilities.BrowserName;
// capabilities.IsJavaScriptEnabled;
// capabilities.Platform;
// capabilities.Version;
