Lazy acceleration- need to change the first gears fast

I just bought a 2014 500L 95HP, 1.4 engine. Outside this, is is great. This isn’t a big problem, but I just wonder if it has any speed limiter or if it is normal. I don’t have cruise control and can’t set speed limitation manually. When I start the car and accelerate, it seems not to have a fast-start. I have to change from 1st to 2nd gear fast and then from 2nd to 3rd. Someone who drove it described it as a bit “lazy”. It also makes a sound when accelerating, the acceleration sound, due to the fact that it does not seem to have that much power. Are all Fiat 500L the same? Do you have this problem?
