Doors difficult to open

Hi everyone. Picked up my new Santa Fe this week and loving it. My only issue is when I open the front driver and passenger door they are extremely difficult to open. By this I mean it almost feels at first like the door is locked and you need to push extremely hard to then shift the door to open. So much so at first I thought you couldn’t open it until the seat has shifted back (automatically as you exit and enter).

I’ve never experienced this in any car. Anyone else had this problem?
