Are hybrid vehicles more efficient for city driving?

I am thinking about purchasing a Toyota RAV4 and I live in a city. I've heard that hybrid vehicles are more efficient for city driving, but I'm not sure if that's true. Can anyone confirm this and provide some personal insights?

Yes, hybrid vehicles are more efficient for city driving because they rely on regenerative braking and can switch to electric-only mode in traffic. I have a Toyota RAV4 hybrid and it has significantly improved my gas mileage.

It really depends on your driving habits and the traffic in your city. In general, hybrid vehicles do perform better in stop-and-go traffic and have better fuel efficiency. However, if you primarily drive on highways, a traditional gas-powered RAV4 may be more cost-effective.

I had a hybrid vehicle before and I found the fuel savings to be minimal. Plus, the battery replacements can be expensive. I think it's better to stick with a traditional gas-powered RAV4 if you primarily drive in the city.
