Depends. I recently went from a manual car to a mild hybrid with an eCVT. Feels pretty different to me.

Hybrids with eCVTs existed 5-15 years ago. You just happened to not be driving one.

Er, yeah, but that’s kinda analagous to the situation with EVs - there’s a big difference going from a 2015 Nissan Leaf to a 2025 Models S - there’s not nearly as much of a difference going from a 2015 Models S to a 2025 Model S.
