GLE450 interior colors

Hello all, new user here. Have been looking at the GLE450 for my wife. I just noticed that since the last time I checked on the online configurator a few weeks ago, the choices for the interior colors seem to have decreased. I'm pretty sure there used to be an option for Espresso Brown / Black Leather, whereas now the only Espresso Brown / Black is with MB Tex, and other than that there are two beige and five blacks options (in different materials) and that's it.

Is that correct or if is it a configurator glitch, and if it's correct do you know whether it's temporary / due to a parts shortage or long term? Also, sorry but since I'm new to the Merc world, can I ask if MB offers any program similar to Porsche where one can choose an "interior to sample" option which makes different colors and materials available which are not normally listed? Thanks in advance.

Can't help with your first question, but for this one I think the equivalent is the Designo Manufaktur program. You can look at the PDF @ https://mbworld.org/forums/w213-amg/...ml#post8234501 and you'll see on page 6 which models are eligible (the GLE isn't).

Espresso Brown / Black Leather, and Black / Tartufo Leather are marked as "delayed" and appear to have be removed from the online configurator.

Thanks. Do you have any insights into whether that's likely to change anytime soon?

No idea, although I suspect things will get better this summer assuming we get Corona under control.

2021 GLE 450
I tried to order the expresso/black last December for April delivery in Canada and was told this combo was earmarked for July/ 21 build which means you would get the car in the fall sometime. The 2022's will be out then.

Too bad, it's a nice combination. I had to go with black leather because I wanted leather.
