It will be for sale in the US in a few months.
We are talking about the W214 here. It just started its third model year and will not be replaced or refreshed in the next year. Look closely at your video and you will see the renderings are based on the first generation W213 or maybe the W205 C-class...I turned it off quickly as it was a waste of time. Pure clickbait.

As for the EQE replacement...I do not know and frankly don't care. But since it is only three years old I doubt it gets significant changes in the next year, either.

Read my original post! I was NOT talking about the W214, I referred to the E-Class with EQ which is NOT related to the W214. As an aside the video was to speculate what an early W214 MAY look like.

Why post anything about the EQE replacement in the thread titled "2026 E53 AMG Order/Delivery Updates"?

I was posting about how the E-Class body may look. The EQE replacement is an E-Class.

whether an EQE is an E-class or not aside, what it's not is an update about an 2026 E53 AMG order *or* delivery, so it's off-topic for the thread. That was the point.

Ordered an E53 Wagon....was told it will more than likely arrive in May or June. My dealership didn't have any changeable allocations, so I'll need to wait until Mercedes gives them another one. I'm in no hurry, so all good there.

One question.....I tried to plug in an iPod Touch (I'm old school like that) into the USB-C port (tried 4 of the 6 in the car) and it wouldn't recognize it. Has anyone else had, or experienced, anything similar? Wasn't a deal breaker, but it would be nice to be able to plug it in as opposed to using Bluetooth to access my tunes from the iPod.

Build Specs:
· Black
· AMG Night Package Plus
· 21-inch AMG forged cross-spoke, black
· Black Nappa leather
· Ventilated front seats
· Heated Rear Seats
· AMG Illuminated Natural Grain Grey Ash wood
· Black microfiber headliner
· Deletion of Red Seat Belts
· Exclusive Trim
· Advanced USB Package
· Soft Close Doors
· AMG Fuel Cap
· Wheel Locking Bolts

It's been a hot minute since i had an iPod of any sort, and i don't remember...Can it be plugged in and used purely as a storage device? If so, is it formatted in FAT32, exFAT or NTFS filesystems? Those are the only filesystems that it will read.

So wild thing has happened. My order has showed up in inventory, it's in there as we speak but it hasn't even been built yet. I must find the flag that tells which car is in such state as I can clearly pull the data but it won't show in customer facing website any more.

A bit surprised to see the few E53 in SoCal that have the superscreen. Looks far better without ...

2026 G63, 2026 E53
If anyone here is interested in a nearly new Edition 1 E53 wagon in Alpine Grey / black interior, let me know. We purchased this for my wife in November and our next G63 is arriving sooner than expected. It has 1,700 miles on it.

Congrats @jcn83 - great to hear that as there were delays earlier in the year. We already have an order in for our E 53 Wagon otherwise I would reach out. Good luck on selling it and enjoy the G 63!

I might be the only one but I kind of like the super screen and ordered it that way. I actually like both options so was torn.....but with a loaded up order it felt missing so went with it. Love seeing everyone's delivery pictures - keep them coming.

^ A couple of dashboard trim options are actually more expensive than the Superscreen Package, so one doesn't need to feel compelled to order for it to be 'loaded'. But if it's something you like, by all means...

Exactly! With CF it's a significant saving to go with the superscreen over the genuine CF dash, likely the reason all Edition 1 had superscreen.

As for stats, in California, 10 cars do not have superscreen and 52 do, so roughly 84% comes with superscreen. This is actually much higher than the national average of 64%.While there are a large number of Edition 1 cars in CA (13 total) that have superscreen, if we look at the non Edition 1 cars then the percentage in CA that have superscreens is 79% which is still much higher than the national average of 59.2%. It looks like CA likes superscreens.

California has a bunch of software tech companies. After looking at screens all day at work, you want to look at screens in your car before you look at screens in your house.
