I have the Exclusive Nappa interiors in my 2019 SL450, 2019 E450 Wagon and 2020 S560. All of these came with a leather dash & door panels, beautifully stitched. When looking at the current GLE450 “Build” program, it allows you to select MBTEX Stitched Dash & Door Panels, even with the Exclusive Nappa interior, but I would bet that they are already part of the Exclusive Nappa interior pkg. Can anyone confirm this?

I don’t have direct knowledge for the GLE but when I put in my custom order using Netstar at the dealership for a 2021 GLS580 (USA spec) the selection of the “951 exclusive black nappa leather” ($1,370) requires you to also select the “U09 MB-Tex Wrapped Lower Dashboard” ($350). So I am guessing that “U38 Dashboard & Door Beltlines in Nappa Leather” is now included with the exclusive nappa (at least for the 2021 GLS580). I actually looked for this and would have definitely selected it.

I placed a order for a 2021 GLE580 with exclusive Nappa leather and I had to select the MBTEX dash. I do not think it is Nappa leather.

In 2020, the nappa leather came standard with just plastic dash and door trim. Options were the MB-Tex dash or the Nappa dash, but the nappa was only available with the top Interior. That’s no longer an option for 2021, and I’m not sure if it’s now standard or just not available. Something seems to be included; when you look at the build website, it looks as though there is stitching. But the HUD still mandated the MB-Tex dash and door trim.

No, even with the Nappa upholstery the U09 MBTex stitched dash must be ordered separately. Originally (through early 2019) there was a U38 "Dash & Door Beltlines in Nappa Leather" option, but I don't see that anymore.
