I wouldn't hold my breath for that, the GLE53 or the standard 2 wheel drive GLE350 til all the current delays for current versions are worked out. I'm willing to bet they'll delay the 2wd til 2021 model year, since we're already in summer, when it was supposed to be out (per autotrader article).

You think they'll even bother to sell a GLE53? It'd have less hp than the 580.
I've also read speculation there won't be a GLC53, but instead a GLE45 (or some number), with the new 400+ hp IL-4.

GLE 53
The GLE 53 was formally announced by MBUSA back in February, so it is coming. The 580 may be a stopgap until it and the 63 are out next year. Upmarket GLC will not have a 53 designation; since last one was 43, 45 is a good bet.

GLC43 has same engine as the 2019+ C43 Sedan. It's the exact same engine as the prefacelift one with 362hp/384lb ft but just like with C43 they upped the boost preassure or redid some internals or something so it makes 385hp/384lb ft. It's a V shaped engine, the M276. Same one as the E43 from 2017 and '18, last gen GLE43 and GLE450 AMG Sport, and vehicles like the E400/E450, S450, SL450, current GLS450, etc. The new 2020 GLE450 uses the new M256 inline 6 engine, with a single Turbo instead of Twin Turbos. It's a completely different engine. That engine is also in the CLS450, euro S450, upcoming 2020 GLS450, and all the 53 models like E53, GLE53, AMG GT53, etc.

Oh how I hope we see the GLE580 here in Australia, but that's probably wishful thinking. If it's only going to be a temporary model until the GLE63 arrives they probably won't bother building it for the RHD market.
Stranger things have happened though, so we'll have to wait & see.
My lease runs out in July 2020 so one of these as a replacement would be fantastic!
Sat it my first V167 GLE a few weeks ago while getting my car serviced, think it was a 300d but it was pretty loaded, and was very impressive.
We're also starting to see a few other V167 GLEs on the road here too now

Yup. GLE 53 is rated at 429 HP + EQ Boost IIRC.
