there are different versions of hybrids but it essentially means that the car uses electricity derived from special batteries, as well as a traditional gasoline engine to drive the car. The benefit of this is seen especially in city driving at slower speeds where the electric drive can be taken advantage of, which causes the car to get better gas milage.
