Driver door needs hard pull/push to open!

The driver door needs very hard push or pull in order to open either from outside or inside ,, locking and unlocking is working fine though

Any idea or similar problem please?

A family member has a 2020 G63 and the doors now require more push and pull to close/open them. His previous 2 G63's did not require such force. This was explained to him by the dealer.
