On the highway if you are using the gas engine, the same issues you complain about would be present on a regular gas car, and when I throw it in sport mode and use the engine, it's fine.

I still think it's calibration when it's something that we've been doing for 40 years before hybridization was so common.
The Jeep 4XE 2.0T & ZF8 combo was mostly fine.

Hyundai undersizes the motors. Sonata has 50hp compared to like 100+ in Camry. Palisade has 70hp compared to 120 in X5.
