Some hybrids have easily-modulated throttles for staying in the "coasting zone". Others don't - which is a pain, because it's pesky and troublesome to have to monitor a screen.
I shift to N/neutral to coast in hybrids that have finicky throttles.
Doing this, I've learned that in the Toyota hybrids I've driven, you need to wait a second for the engine to shut down after releasing the throttle or it will continue to run while in N.
Also: while in N there may be no regenerative braking if you have to use the devil pedal.
