MY24 vs MY23 Changes

Hi,
can someone please summarize the changes made to the ‘24MY EQE(500) SUV? There are still some ‘23s available here and with the various incentives, the price is significantly lower…

Thanks, appreciate it.

It also seems like most of these are already on the '23 500 SUV, at least in Canada.

There is always a lot of bug fix and minor modification under the hood not listed on the order guide or specification.
So hopefully a more reliable car - more important as a second model year for a brand new car.

In theory, yes. In reality, changes can occur at any time during the lifecycle.

There are so many 2023 cars still available (>125) in Canada at the moment, the lease rates are essentially 50% less than the 2024 cars. So it doesn’t really make sense, especially when there are minor changes, at best. I’ve never seen over 100 vehicles avail at one time, it actually makes it hard to search through all the equipment specs.

Ultimately, it is individual's decision whether to buy next model year or past model year cars.
But even though changes can occur at any time, usually those are for more serious fix or having supplies issues. Most changes occur at model year change as they usually retool the assembly line during model year transition.

As usual, lease rate doesn't mean much, you should only compare the monthly payments as 2023 model year has less residuals. But you should get larger discounts in additional to better lease rate for 2023 cars.
Did check the inventory previously, but they don't seem to order any cars with air suspension which I want.

By "rate" I meant overall lease cost, sorry.
The deals are insane now - there are literally hundreds of 2023 cars on the lot, and that's in Canada. In the US, it must be thousands of '23s... I've got dealers offering 15% off without even asking.
