So I just picked up a 25 with the I-force max. I’ve noticed when accelerating from a stop, there’s a thud/clunk when the engine appears to kick on/engage. Almost like the engine is engaging the drivetrain.

it’s heard/felt in the rear.

New to anything hybrid so wondering if this is “normal” for a hybrid set up?

thanks in advance!

That does not sound normal. Perhaps go take a test drive at another dealer to compare? Assuming its not normal, you'll know how much of a fight to give the service department.
