Yes. Sump dump is relatively easy to. Full change a bit harder and more expensive!

About £40 for 4 litres of ATF from dealer.

Did 2x sump dumps on mine in about 2 hours having never done it before.

Ideally you need VIDA to monitor the ATF temp. when setting the level and for resetting the 'transmission fluid change counter', plus a few larger hex sockets/torx bits (as per the video) if you don't have them.

If you can get the dealer to do it before delivery then great negotiating!!
