Ya unfortunately, especially when it comes to screen size.

That vehicle shown is the Vision EQXX, it was said that screen is the successor to the hyperscreen with no huge bezels but it might take a while for that to be installed on production models if ever.

True, keyless entry is a nice upgrade.

To my own surprise, fully agree

Talk about splitting hairs, but now having my 3rd W463A and had the 2025 on order, realized I love the analog IWC clock, the scrolling center console wheel for the Command system, the steampunk style steering wheel with actual buttons

Using loaners with MBUX and the latest Haptic Touch steering wheel, I don't like the volume control or any of the other buttons on the steering wheel, and find myself missing that scroll wheel from the console, never used the touchscreen!

Coupled with reports of reduced exhaust sound, passed on ordering the latest gen for now

I traded my ‘22 550 for a ‘25. Although they look pretty similar (2 horizontal screens, generally the same climate control and locker switches), the ‘25 not only seems to ride better (quieter and seems less tippy to me) the tech is a lot better.

Enhanced cruise control, ambient lighting, improved ui graphics, faster ui load times, augmented reality, surround view camera, much better stop/start and a greatly improved stereo, all add to the feeling that it’s a bigger refresh than it appears on the surface.

With that being said, who knows what Mercedes will do. However, I was very pleased with the ‘25 compared to my ‘22….except the terrible (lack) of exhaust tone…
