This is just someone’s rendering using the grill and tail lights from an E class. I don’t see Mercedes keeping the same body for 14 years and only changing the front end and tail lights.

That I understand, the second picture is clearly not original, the grille is camouflaged but the outline of it looks identical to the modified second image. Including the piano gloss part.

It might not be 14 years, but it will be longer than normal. Remember, the ICE GLE wasn't supposed to be around past 2030, and was likely planned to be discontinued sooner than that. Like most automakers, MB way overestimated demand for EV's. Making matters worse, Mercedes EV designs have not been well-received. Buyers simply don't see the EQE SUV as a direct substitute for the GLE.

Indeed it isn't a direct substitute for the GLE, even if MB markets it that way, we all know they planned to fully electrify their models for the S-Class EV instead of EQS and the true GLE EV is therefore without the EQ name, given the change of plans and automotive shift lately, that might no longer be true.
The other threads were talking about MB's quality and another thread (or two?) was talking about how the EQ.. specifically EQS was depreciating way more than other EVs, maybe it is the design, maybe it is the features of the vehicle, maybe is the build quality. It could be anything. Is it a bad vehicle? Maybe. Are there good things about it? Maybe as well.

Agree 100%. When I traded in my GLE450, I briefly considered the EQE but that lasted about 30 seconds. Its not the best looking SUV in my opinion and it's also much smaller than the GLE. The switch to the 63 was a natural progression. No EV in the immediate future for me !

Precisely this, I doubt Mercedes wants to invest in a new ICE platform, so they'll probably just keep the current ones until they absolutely have to replace them.
I would expect this facelift to be for the 2027 model year, maybe even 2028, so the GLE53 plug in will come for 2026, only be for a year or two with the current body style, and then go to the next facelift.
A new dashboard/center console would be nice, but I hope they don't change the door panels much.

The GLE AMG 53 Plug in hybrid has been on sale in Europe for several months.
