Entry height in 2021 GLE 63s vs. 2019 GLE63s

I have a 2019 GLE63s which is wonderful however, I have two main complaints:
  1. The known problem with smelly air coming out of the AC. I have had the first fix done without great results. There is a second fix which apparently takes most of the dash apart that I am not willing to have done since I don't like rattles.
  2. My current GLE63s does not have the running boards. I tired one with them and found they were not helpful and got in the way of getting in and out. It is a bit of a stretch for me to get in and out, especially with the AMG seats that have big side bolsters. Once in the car, they are great.
My salesman said that for 2021 the GLE and GLS were each getting new chassis and he thought it might be a bit easier to get in and out of. He showed me GLS which is bigger with the new chassis (the 2021 GLEs are not in yet). I definitely found it easier to get in and out of. It does not have high bolsters on the side so I am not sure how much of a test it is.

Does anyone have any information about the entry height of the 2019 vs. the 2021 GLE63s?

A suggestion is to post the question in the V167 section, there are some GLE53 owners there and some people may be familiar with the various seat options in the new model.
