Default 2015 Q7 brakes very touchy, is this the norm?

We purchased a 2015 Q7 3.0T last January. The brakes are very hard to modulate for a smooth stop. They grab really hard. My kids have gotten car sick in the back seat in traffic.
I also have a 2014 A6 3.0T which breaks very smoothly.
Does everyone have this issue?

it has Brembo brakes. That could be why you think they are touchy. By "touchy", you mean they engage instantly? Like when pushing the brakes you don't have to push them far until they engage?

Yes. They engage very quickly. But it's very hard to not be jerky in traffic.

perhaps use more engine braking and less foot braking so you coast to a stop. may not help you in traffic but i haven't really experienced this issue.
