Hallelujah! I took my 2020 Cayenne S in for the 25k mile service today. The applied software updates fixed the obnoxious AS/S downshift issue. The difference is wild. The dealer also identified and remedied a squeaky exhaust flap that was an oddity. Very pleased.

Great to hear. Can you please post a copy of your service invoice with personal details redacted? Thanks!

I've never run across WNH1 and like you turned up nothing with a search. Maybe Schnave can find something out? :-)

Comparison
I just drove my sons 2016 Mazda CX-5 1100 miles and after being in my 19 base Cayenne for 62k miles, I have to say it was treat not having my 66 year old head driving forward on down shifts. I still don’t understand how Porsche could release the 9YO with such an unrefined transmission, kudos to Mazda…and it really was fun to drive.

I am curious, though, whether I got a lucky 1-off, as I haven’t seen any posts from anyone else with a 2022 as to how their transmission is working. Anyone know?

I have a 2022 Cayenne GTS. Shifts are extremely smooth, up and down, in normal, sport, sport plus. In fact, I find them too smooth. There is no kick like PDK. And being in sport plus and coming to a stop is not what I consider “rough”. Its likely the market for Cayenne is different and people have different calibrations of smoothness.
