Default Brake feels so soft

I have 2024 TX 350 base and put 1k miles on it already. Anyone in here feel the brake so soft and spongy? The brake is so weak compare to my old honda pilot.

I'd take it to the dealer and have them test drive it, a soft brake pedal could be a real problem...

Reviews online say brakes are soft. Especially compared to semi-metallic pads like my last German car had.

My car has 1500 miles in 9 days and the brakes are still not bedded in. Try doing some harder stops and do a bed in procedure to get a good layer of pad deposited on the rotor….

car now has like 3400 miles on it and there are still machining marks in the rotors front and rear. the brakes seem to be gentle (assuming ceramic pads) and I bet this platform needs to be beat on a bit or just in general needs a good number of miles to properly deposit some pad material on the rotors to get them to bed in properly.

some of the reviews online reported a "soft brake pedal" but the stopping distance figures show the brakes are plenty capable. coming from a 6 piston caliper equipped Q7 with massive semi-metallic pads and rotors up front the brakes are not as grabby, however the brakes are not concerning in the TX as far as I can tell.

anyone have any more experience with the car or anyone else care to elaborate?
