I guess it would depend on what type of hybrid. The Ignis uses an alternator that doubles as a small electric motor and it has a very small Li-ion battery pack under the seat.
No idea why this wasn't on the Jimny years ago.......
That said, its not really a hybrid drive. The electric motor makes almost no power, not enough to move the vehicle. It just provides a very very mild bit of rotating power to the engine. No idea how much difference it makes to performance and MPG. But it must be minimal, the motor certainly isn't rated at much HP.
So while it'd be hybrid in name. I suspect you'd notice no difference real world compared to the current model.

Lots and lots coronal mass ejections though.... which would probably qualify as 'incidents'.The Sun has been running on hydrogen for quite a few years (4.5 billion) without a major incident, so perhaps the Hindenburg was a one off?
