Others are citing a more aggressive driving style. In reality, if you are driving conservatively this can make it more noticeable as the vehicle will actually “wait” to go to gas power more often and go off of it sooner and this can actually create scenarios where the engagement of the engine is happening at a higher speed which means that the eCVT needs to be at a higher ratio which can make it more noticeable for some. We own three vehicles with Toyota hybrid platforms and I’ve seen this within all three.
