Understood. I would love to see the same W213 AMG E43 engine specs in the W166 AMG GLE43 SUV also.

BACnMercedes

I'll look at it this way.........I own an instant classic!

Does anyone know possible production dates for the GLE43 Full SUV? I configured a GLE43W4 at a MB dealership but was told production dates have not been established. I was also surprised to see the base price of the car at $67,150. Hope this doesn't change. Sorry GLE400 owners, I'm not trying to rub it in, just surprised.

E55 KEV

Great. Besides the base price - anything else new or or surprises?

BACnMercedes

I'm not upset. My heavily optioned 400 was almost the same price. The only thing I think I would be jealous of is the exhaust sound. Mine is just soooooo blah!
Good luck!

Kalaika

Nothing else surprising for now. I'm still waiting for the production date so I can really dive into the options. I think Active Curve is a must for me. The Pana roof is a must for the wife.

BACnMercedes

Have you ever had a pano roof?
They look great but they are HOT (I even tinted my last and only one but it was still not)! It has a thin screen that covers the glass (unlike a normal sunroof) and it just doesn't keep the heat out very well.
Just some FYI if you didn't know.
Good luck.

Kalaika

Thanks for the info. Ill let the boss know. Lets see if she changes her mind.

Hi Fabbrisd1,
Do you have any updates on the 2017 GLE43W4? I see we can config them at the dealerships, but no production dates have been established.
Thanks

I have 3 SUV all have pana sunroof. Not a big problem with temperature. The AC works fast enough to get the car cool quickly.
Pana roof is really nice to have, especially for rear passengers. Also, future resale, I would think dealers/buyers will choose one with over without.

I passed on the pano because of the thin material that doesn't block out the sun. Other manfac like BMW have a nicer and larger pano but still are able to 100% block the sun. MB needs to fix this on the next gen.

You might have to compare what is actually included in the Premium Package from year to year.

E55 KEV

I did. Each vehicle has the very same options regardless of Premium Package price. More items are standard on the Coupe and when you add those standard items to the SUV it's price is so much more. That's why I was shocked.

DarrenK

I agree. It was the crummy liner that kept me away from the Pano. My sister's Infinity SUV has a more solid cover for the pano roof, and it operates better too, as it retracts front to back. The Mercedes retracts to the middle, and you cannot open just the front.

2017 AMG C 43 options and pricing now on mbusa. Hope the GLE 43 SUV also gets:

AMG Performance Exhaust System for $1,250

Computer-controlled vanes near the tailpipes of the AMG C63 exhaust system also let the driver escalate its sound at the push of a button.

Roni07

Ditto. THe wife and I agreed no Panorama roof ever again. Looks nice but terribly thin and the car becomes a sauna in seconds. Doesn't keep the heat nor the sun out at all. This was an option i regret getting.

bearintheair

Hello everyone from Canada. I picked up my 2017 GLE43 AMG end of September and love it.

Roni07

Congratulations. super hot wheels

davezaristo

So I guess this is only available in Canada for now?

E55 KEV

Very nice. Are those 22 inch wheels?

Kalaika

Looks like I have a scheduled production date of January 2nd 2017 for my GLE43 Full size SUV. I noticed the night package option went up from $300 to $750. Fingers crossed the production date sticks.

Kalaika

Those are (Code 683) - 21" AMG Twin-Spoke Wheels with Black Accents. I added them to my build. $1000.00

E55 KEV

I certainly hope this long awaited GLE43 SUV has the AMG Performance Exhaust option. The C43 has it for $1,250 but I'm totally surprised to see that the GLE43 Coupe, the GLC43 nor the SLC43 have the option.

I've been awaited the GLE43 SUV launch but without that - Deal Breaker for me!

I'm really thinking of ordering this and waiting vs ordering a GLE400, but I have no idea where to find pricing info. Any possible way you could let me know what you got for MSRP for base price and options for one you ordered.

What I would order is as follows - small list:
Leather interior - I'm assuming comes standard
(thinking of getting the crystal gray)
Metallic paint (black, brilliant blue, or diamond silver)
P2 (only if required to get LED high beams) - or is this standard on this one?
Parking assist

None of the dealers here even told me I could order one now - on East Coast. Maybe they would rather I just order an GLE 400.

Also, were you able to get a decent discount off MSRP?

Were you able to drive one anywhere?

Thanks.
