Any key differences between GLE 53 Coupe 2020 and 2021?

Hi Everyone,

I am in the market for GLE 53 Coupe. The dealer has a 6 months waiting list. So I have to get one from the local showrooms if I want to get one the next day (assuming I find the color and options I am looking for, which luckily I did)

Since the showrooms have variety of stocks of the 2020 models, not so many of the 2021.

My question is are you aware of any major differences between the 2021 and the 2020? I know they both the same generation. But I am referring to any defect or issue that was in 2020 which MB managed to improve / resolve in the 2021?

Thank you.

Where are you located? In the US, there was no 2020 model. The last one was 2019, which was the previous generation. 2021 is all-new.

Saudi Arabia, the new generation started with 2020 model and first released in Q1 2020

Ah ok. If you can find the MB Saudi Arabian press/media website, they may have the changes listed there. They do for the US.

If you get one with the Active Sway Bar it’s been updated to fix the rattle...so far my GLE 53 SUV is working as it should.

Thank you Ron. Is there an option # for this? How can I know that it has the Active Sway Bar?

In the US it’s part of the Dynamic Plus Pkg...it’s listed as-465 Active Ride Control.
