I know not a big deal but I find it funny that the 2016, 2017 and 2018 GLE 63S was advertised as 0 to 60 at 4.1 seconds and the GLE63 was 4.2 seconds. Now for the 2019 model year both models are 4.2 seconds.

Except 2019 on that link is still using the 5.5L TT, unlike the newer ones which will be using the 4.0. So same car new rating

Yes I'm referring to the 5.5L TT which is same engine for 2019 as was 2018, 2017 and 2016 GLE63s. The AMG 4.0T in the next V167 GLE63s prolly not due until a 2021 model in US.

That's still the 2018 model that's listed, Mercedes only updated the listing for the GLE400s. If you click the "Build" button next to it it takes you to the 2018's configurator page, 2019 isn't up yet. I don't know why there's a discrepancy in numbers listed, but either way, the time isn't for the 2019.
