Best Answer

In a Manual, your car can stall at red lights because the engine is not receiving gas, this is why the klutch is important.

In Hybrids the engine intentionally shuts off to preserve gas. Then an electric motor starts the car moving when you accelerate again, filling the time gap between when you press the accelerator and the gas engine kicks in.
