Yeah, hate the Superscreen and I think the star motif is getting a little overdone. But, love the Beech Brown upholstery.

The seats look very nice. We'll have to wait and see if those are the standard seats or part of the AMG or Manufaktur line.

You can't get the top 4D Burmester on the current GLE, right?

It is not offered on the '26 GLE. They did not announce it for the '27 that i can see today, but we won't know until the DOG comes out. Also, the GLE63 was not shown today on the '27 GLE announcement, so perhaps that model will come out with other options? Who knows.

I really like this second facelift, the only thing I dislike about it so far is the 3 separate screen with the bezels instead of the one screen across, other than that I like this second facelift overall.

Truth be told, I'm probably ok w/the base Burmester system...as long as it can still play mch FLAC files!

Agreed. The one from the new GLC looks much better to me. Perhaps the seamless screen will be an option ($$) ?? Time will tell - I'm waiting for the 63 DOG from @Eaton whenever it comes out! LOL.... that's my upgrade.

Overall I think it looks good. Hate the additional black plastic exterior trim around the grille and between the taillights...on lighter colors thats not going to look great...but by and large I would buy this.

Interior the screen layout is okay...

Going to be fun to see what exterior colors are available - hoping for a nice Manufaktur palette to choose from like the new S-class. I need a break from White, and I want to see what the silver/gray color choices will be.

Also, that new '27 AMG grill is even larger than my '22, and if you don't get a screen installed behind it, prepare for debris (small rocks etc) to find your cooling fins - not ($$) fun, ask me how I know.
If you just do in-town driving and not interstate, you could get lucky with the AMG grills and never see a rock strike.

so the original 2 screens are the exact same size. all they did was extend the black plastic down to fit in a useless passenger screen

Looks like I'm keeping my current 63s. The interior is a nice upgrade but not fond of the front or rear...

Glad I've got a 2026 on order.

Front I'm kinda meh about, do not like the rear, at all. These full panel dashes are getting out of hand.

A YouTube reviewer mentioned that these seats are the optional AMG sport seats. I haven't seen pictures or videos of the base seats.

MB’s of all kinds.
Does anyone know if the 3rd screen (in the front of the passenger side) is an option? I would prefer not to have that if we move into one. I am fine with everything else but that 3rd screen I cannot deal with. It’s too much screen. If you can option the car without like many other companies allow it would be nice.

I doubt it, personally I would just leave the passenger screen off. I totally don’t understand passenger screens.

I’m really liking the GLE Refresh the more videos I watch. The PHEV with the I6 seriously would be a contender for me to replace my S580.
