Regular gasoline engines might take a few cranks to get started for a lawnmower/generator, a car has its spark plugs that have to turn over. But in a hybrid, combustion just starts and stops so seamlessly.

The starter in a hybrid or car with stop/start spin faster than a traditional starter does.
A traditional starter for a car spins the engine at about 500rpm, just enough for it to start.
A hybrid or stop/start equipped starter turns the engine over at about 1000 rpm, which is just over idle speed.
