2024 Order Guide

My 2021 GLE53 is in pristine condition and has been working beautifully ever since. Only issue is the headlight got foggy which was fixed (replaced) under warranty.
My vehicle has dropped 20% trade-in value which is reasonable and am thinking of upgrading to the exact same vehicle (GLE53 - same everything) but the 2024 model, which will reset my warranty period.

Incase other was wonder how the reflector headlights looked, I've found this on IG. I've asked my SA to upgrade me to Pinnacle Trim on my order.

1. updated MBUX (I am a tech guy, so this interests me)
2. add massage seats. This is the only option left out of my current GLE53 due to shortages when I got my 2021.
3. Reset the powertrain warranty.
I am happy with my current vehicle & trim, but since a refresh is upon us with some noted improvements, I plan on jumping on it before my current vehicle drops in trade-in value too much.

There are three items I am after.
1. updated MBUX (I am a tech guy, so this interests me)
2. add massage seats. This is the only option left out of my current GLE53 due to shortages when I got my 2021.
3. Reset the powertrain warranty.

Would you consider 2025 model ? It will a completely new design.

2025 will be insignificant most likely. Redesign will take several more years.

Most of the cost of the Pinnacle Trim would be because of the Massaging Seats / HUD / lights.
Going to see if there is a way to retrofit/replace the reflector headlights for the multibeam one but I feel like there would be some wiring issues / programming issues.
I tried to get my build switch to the Pinnacle Trim but it's too late. My build is on a freeze since it's starting soon.
It sucks but I'll just get the car regardless.

An entirely new generation will likely arrive for the 2027 or 2028 model year.

Anyone know what the info is on option 553 "Trailer Assist"? The dealer can't find it in his ordering system. The trailer hitch is there, option 550, but no trailer assist. Looks like it may be a software add on maybe?

Magic Vision is back. I have it on my 2018 GLE 550e and have been happy with it
Magic vision is where the wiper blades themselves have holes to dispense the washer fluid. No spray nozzles on the hood.

They sure made the front of the GLE more like the new GLC, I am sure there will be a mixed number of reaction to this decision. I guess some would like it for it being more sportier like the GLC sibling or some will hate it for the less mature being like the GLC sibling.
