Default Switch between engine and ev

Hello all, I am a proud owner of RX 2018 from two months ago.Recently I have started noticing that when I am at low rpm and engine shut off to move to ev, I can feel in my seat like a mini shake for a bout a second, like three of them. I can reproduce it if I press the gas pedal and release it after engine kicks in. Is this normal? Car has 106 000 km, bought from

No, ICE to EV is unnoticeable. EV to ICE more noticeable.

Damn, not even a little? For me happens in the low rpm. Also if i press the pedal aggressively and release it aggressively -slight shake. On high rpm, all good.

No, the engine just stops in the right crank position. You might feel a little when the engine is warming up at idle and it finish warming up.
