RIGHT NOW, YOU CANNOT SELECT MULTICONTOUR SEATS DUE "AVAILABILITY.' I TRIED TO GET IT ON MY NEW ORDER FOR THE 2022 GLE450 4MATIC AND WAS DECLINED. I DID ORDER THE ACOUSTIC PACKAGE. THE SAME FOR AIR MATIC SUSPENSION, AND OTHER OPTIONS. CHECK WITH YOUR DEALER FOR UP TO DATE INFORMATION.

Do you know of any other options that are unavailable? I know the AR is not possible nor is the dash cam. If availability was not a problem, which would you prefer between acoustic and seats?

I believe wireless charging. My spec sheet shows right now as a credit. Also, the MBUX augmented video and Assistant options as well at least for the GLE'S. Right now my Netstar sheet shows that all my options have been accepted, but between now and the production date (mid-October) anything can change.

Wireless charging? If you are talking about the NFC for your phone, I’m surprised as that doesn’t show as an option as it is supposedly a standard feature. I ordered my 450 a while ago and scheduled for production mid to late Sept for late Sept-early Oct delivery. I have call in to dealer to confirm build. He told me about two weeks ago that the Aug Reality was only thing deleted. Wondering if that changed. I ordered DAP and wondering if that is in jeopardy which will kill my deal.

I was able to get all the option but I was told the car would be delayed a couple months. I ordered my car July 2020 and got a Production Date 1st week of December. I attached my spec sheet. It also has illuminated star, roof spoiler and load sill protector.

You have few of the options I would've liked to get but I got mine off the lot so I had no choice. May I ask what is the MSRP with these options?

I haven't been given a price since its a 2022 GLE however I'm estimating its going to be around 85 to 95K. I came up with that value by adding the option on the MBUSA website. I hope I am over estimating tho LOL

Mine was $87K and yours has a lot more options. I'd guess it'll be close to $95K.

I have to admit that I’m totally confused with your options. I have a 450 on order with a delivery date of 10/09-10/15. I, too, have had my Aug Reality deleted. What is wireless charging and telematics control? Do you mean NFC for iPhones or androids? Also, I never saw any options for rear entertainment and I assume Energizing Comfort is multicontoured seats? I have DAP and Premium pkg as accepted among other things not camera or chip related. What am I missing here?

I m in Canada and I ordered my 450 yesterday . My dealer show me the MB internal memo. I guess it's the same status in US.

​​​​Not sure whether the WIreless charger is the same device that provides NFC. But for sure I can't charge my iphone wirelessly without it

Telematics unit is a standard feature comes with the car during normal days. we are not supposed to know this term as it's not an option. It has a SIM card and connects the car to a monitoring station for SOS. I suspect the phone app feature will also be gone without it.

​​​​these are what I know, in addition to the missing AR
yes the MB terminologies are confusing.

price should only be a few hundred more then a 2021. Build your 2021 on the website and add $1000 to be generous, and that should be a pretty good estimate. It’s really hard to get a US GLE to 95K without the E-ABC.

Pretty sure I saw a post in this forum that showed an official MB doc that showed the MSRP up $1k. I think some of the options are the same and some are up nominally. My confirmation showed a list price of over $1mm. Hoping it was a placeholder as I'm thinking I might pass on the 450 at that price.

2022 base price went up $1000 per MBUSA.

That’s actually pretty significant. I’m surprised. If I recall correctly, MB increased both GLE and GLS prices in the middle of their runs, but relative to the higher prices, the 2021 GLE was $500 more then the 2020 with more standard features, and the 2021 GLS was only $50 more then the 2020 with like $2500 worth of standard features. But it’s a different market now.

Also, I think metallic paint is up $30, air suspension is up $200, some wheel options are more, I’m sure there are others. So building a 2021 online and adding $1500 or so might be more accurate. That’s a tough pill to swallow.

I haven't compare year over year price increases before but if the base price of the 2022 increase 1k, that's only a 1.6% increase over the 2021. Considering what's going on in the world, I don't think that's too bad.

The chart from this link (supposedly KBB) shows the market average price increase from Feb 2019 to Feb 2020 was 2.6%. So our 1.6% 2022 increase is below that and I would guess the current year market average will be at least what it was from 2019 to 2020, if not higher, given the overall situation hasn't gotten better .
