Jerky Downshifting

I have a new SQ5 with 1000 miles on it. Loving it so far! 

QQ - When driving in Dynamic mode and manual shifting it jerks (hard shift) when downshifting from 2nd to 1st. Also lurching you forward a bit occasionally. I’m only doing 1.5-2k rpm’s at the time. 

Sometimes it’s smoother than others. I get it’s the performance mode so is going to be more aggressive but doesn’t seem like the transmission likes it and can be a bit unsettling coming to a stop. It’s like the autoblip is not timed right - So you get an initial hard shift then the lurch. Sounds great though! 

Is this normal for these cars? 

TIA.
