The MY25 models have been in production for some amount of time. Is it really that unrealistic to think that someone in Tuscaloosa hasn't by now snapped a couple pix of production models in the wild, in a parking lot, waiting to get loaded on a train? Anxious to see real examples, versus renderings.

You mean the second facelift? Isn't 2025 too soon for the V167 second facelift though? Or is it coming in 2025 as a 2026 model year?
Yep... MY24 was first of what is now speculated to be two planned LCIs, next one coming 26-27. But I've read on one of the forums that folks who've placed their MY25 orders were told by their CAs to expect "minor cosmetic changes" when their vehicles arrive. It's those that I'm eager to see. Not that they will change my purchase decision, just shivering with antici...
According to the 2025 order guide they added a fingerprint reader and some additional interior and exterior colors. My Sales Person told me will basically be carry over vehicle from 2024 unless anyone else has further knowledge.

The 2025 DOG was posted in this forum a few months ago. I have a 2025 GLE450 on order. Here's what's new:
I thought I saw the superscreen somewhere as well. I wonder what they're doing with the nav that makes it different from the 24. It looks to be the same shape?
Here's some updated shot of the interior. Looks like the 4 middle square vents are now 2 oval-ish vents. Also looks like a taller and possibly extended screen of the current setup.
*Also note if you get the MANUFAKTUR Signature Interior Package you can't get the 3rd row option. I like the Carmine Red and Yacht Blue and want to have the power 2nd row seats. Looks like you can only get the power 2nd row ONLY when you select the 3rd row option on the configurator.

Thanks for posting, looks like that is exactly what's different, interesting decision, I guess it will get a similar interface to the W214 for that infotainment screen given how close it resembles the base W214 screen (non super screen)
One thing I really liked when the current generation was launched 5 years ago was how the 2 screens were placed in the dashboard, elegant and nothing popping out, like it was the case with X5 and Q7. I am sure they will make the exterior look better somehow, but if they stick with that interior it will look worse IMO.
