In the manual it is written in Sport mode the car uses gears 1 to 8, only n comfort goes into 9-th. Well, my vehicle goes to 9-th in sport mode as well, a bit more seldom,but anyway it does. How is with yours?

We have an AMG GLE43 Coupe model, and ours will get into 9th in Sport+ mode as well. It typically only gets there, though, when you'be been driving in that mode for an extended period of time, and it eventually upshifts into 9th gear...

if I'm in town, no it doesn't go into 9th gear, but if I'm on the highway it will eventually go into 9th.

I tested it again today, and move dies the exact same thing. It did take a while though to hit 9th...

Mine was all the time in 8-th no matter what speed I was driving at, for a month or so, and then suddenly suddenly noticed that it is in 9-th, not often, but it happens definitely.
