2020 G63 Slow delayed shifts

HI All—-
Has anyone here noticed on their 2019 or 2020 G63’s that the transmission shifts are a bit slow and delayed on steady throttle inputs ? Mine seems to hold gears unless I give it additional throttle—on uphill and even downhill grades...mine will hold a gear unless I manually change with paddles or give it extra throttle?

My 2015 g63 had some bad transmission shifting habits that I could address by force a “re-learn sequence”. Anyone know if the new g63’s have the same relearn sequence ?

Thanks for your input and Cheers

I have experienced the same as you mention with my 2019 G 63. Can’t imagine that the absence of crisp and efficient shifts in either manual or automatic is the way AMG drew up the plan.
I saw another member mentioned in another strand that there was a transmission mapping software update that was due in the near term. Not sure if it was designed to address what you and I are discussing specifically but may be. Keep us posted if your Dealer Gives you any guidance.
