Hello
I was waiting on a 2024 AMG GLE 53 and was just advised that order banks are closing 3/19 for 2024 models so I should be getting 2025 model. I actually prefer to get the 2025 just not sure when they will be built. Was given ETA of June 2024 for 2024 model a few months ago. The 2025 order guides aren’t out yet for the GLE but BMW X5 has their 2025 guide out.
Best wishes and safe travels!

Have you called the dealers that you are interested in 2025? We got our 24 around this time of the year in 23 it was not in web site yet but they had it in stock at local dealers.

Dealers have a lot of inventory of the 2024 GLE as well as AMG 53 GLE none have my desired options and if your going to spend that much I’m a strong proponent to get exactly what you want. When they expected June delivery for 2024 I was fine with it but when that got pushed back to maybe August I think 2025 more desirable. Having said all that I still want to see pricing and options packages on the 2025 which they expect in 2 weeks. When all those facts are presented it still is an option to elect to buy an in stock 2024 Ofcourse if pricing is very good. Trade off would be not exactly all the options I’d want but much better pricing and there is a chance a few more desirable 2024 optioned vehicles get delivered.

Did they close the window for ordering 2024 GLE 450 as well? When will the 2025 GLE 450 be available?

AMMBGLE

My SA informed me that 2024 GLE models including 450 order window close on 3/19 and going forward will be 2025 models if you order with approximately July delivery which worked better for me than getting 2024 in June. However, now we are dealing with unknown issues. What options, packages, colors will change chances not a lot cause they just refreshed model in 2024. Still have to wait for dealer order guide which should be out in a few weeks. You can try to call a dealership maybe they got some 2024 450s in inventory or some due to arrive you’ll get better deal on a 2024 vs 2025 especially if it is in inventory. Maybe your dealership can change an existing 2024 450 order to accommodate your needs too it’s worth an inquiry.

AF23

OK - I guess I need to see what the 2025 looks like. More importantly, when will the 2025 be available. I was hoping to receive the 2024 by June. It was ordered on March 12th.

AMMBGLE

If your dealership put your order in on 3/12 you should be getting your 2024 by June. 2025 I was told will be same maybe just a few option changes. I think any current order after 3/19 will probably be 2025 again I’m just guessing. Best bet for you is to follow up with your dealership.

AF23

Ok - did you hear delivery dates for 2025? My dealer said he did know. I suspect they want to sell 2024 GLE first.

AMMBGLE

Nothing confirmed but my dealership thinks after July. Again you’ll get better deal on the 2024 and I don’t think any changes in the model years but it’s a matter of personal preference. I think soon the order guide for the 2025s will be out then we can see exactly what options changed or stayed same. The BMW X5 has the 2025 order guide available online don’t see why Mercedes wouldn’t do same.

AF23

Ok - thanks. I will be April soon, so you are probably right. Do you know if Mercedes is phasing out the exterior color Selenite Gray for their new color, Alpine Gray? I have not seen many Selenite Gray GLEs on the road.

AMMBGLE

I have not heard of them phasing out the Selenite Gray I think it’s a nice color very popular.

AF23

It is not as popular as Alpine Gray now. I can count how many times that I have seen a 2024 GLE 350 r 450 in Selenite Gray Mettalic.

AMMBGLE

Both nice colors and yes you’re probably right the Alpine Gray seems to be the hot color now. BMW also makes a similar color I just don’t believe they charge as much for it.

djgiovanni

Are you all sure about those delivery dates? I've yet to see delivery in less than 6 months based on accounts by many forum members.

AF23

I was told mid-June

AMMBGLE

Seems Mercedes delivery times are much larger than BMW and yes 6 months is a more realistic time frame. Don’t understand why BMW can manage to deliver an X5 in two months and Mercedes sometimes takes 6 months. I places order for 2024 AMG 53 GLE at end of January and was told to expect June delivery then they put out a note that Pinnacle Package wasn’t available until August . At that point I decided to wait for a 2025 so 5 month delivery turned into who knows how long. In the end if I get really annoyed I may get the X5 as the pricing is definitely better and so is the included maintenance program.

AF23

X5 huh? 2024 or 2025?

I ordered an 25’ X5 3 weeks ago for End of May/ early June delivery

I just put in my 2025 AMG GLE 53 Coupe order through dealer in Seattle.

Bigcitydallas

I put my order in on a ‘25 GLE 450 last week but was told allocations haven’t opened up yet. Did your dealer give you any indication on when those would open?

Mytegar

No indication at all. Just told me MB has accepted my order for 2025 model year.

bkushner

Yes because of the refresh.
