Hmmm. Only see the Pinnacle trim outlined, and don't see ARC+ as an available option for GLE53 anymore. Also, don't see HUD as a standalone option (only shown in Pinnacle trim).
Hopefully that DOG is a work-in-progress and configurations similar to previous years can still be made. If ARC+ isn't available for GLE53 anymore, and can't get HUD without getting massaging seats, air balance, heated cupholders, etc. then I'm probably going to go a different direction.

I'm still hoping the missing ARC from the GLE53 is a mistake, as there are other small mistakes like listing power second row as available on GLE53 and not showing heated and cooled cupholders as an option on the GLE63, but I can definitely conform no more Burmester 3D, and that there trim levels are final and that on the GLE53, the HUD will only be as part of the pinnacle trim with all those other things. That's not changing. Also of note the GLE63 Coupe will now only come on 22 inch wheels
EDIT: heated and cooled cupholders are actually standard on the GLE63, but the changes that need to be made AFAIK are 1) making the U09 mx-tex door panels standard, 2) making power second row only on GLE63, 3) pricing updates to the steering wheels and 4) possibly add the new option 553 trailer manouvering assist. Aside from that, and the potential for the dynamic plus package to come back, I believe the options we see are final.

It will continue to be updated as people notice errors, the DOGs always get a series of small updates. But they aren't going to change the pinnacle trim or make those options available as standalones, I'm almsot 100% confident about that.

Looks like ARC is available on the GLE 53... $2800 standalone option now. That plus the brakes ($2500) means the overall price is about the same as the previous package.

Coupé Info
Just an update for those wondering:
I’ve had a GLE53 Coupé ordered since last month at my dealer. I have a confirmed June23 build date, GLE53C’s aren’t starting until June for sure.
A few notes:
Hope this helps anybody interested, as I’ve been bugging my dealer almost weekly who has graciously messaged me as soon as he has updates haha. Attached my order sheet below (MSRP is still unavailable in order system, but it’s confirmed).
I’ve had a GLE53 Coupé ordered since last month at my dealer. I have a confirmed June23 build date, GLE53C’s aren’t starting until June for sure.
A few notes:
- MSRP has very much increased due to the newly standard options, a Pinnacle base model starts now at $93.1k, and the cheapest 53C is now $89.8k. I am optioned out almost entirely, so my build is right at $109.5k.
- a lot of stuff is delayed, mostly paint colors, but also annoyingly to me is the AMG fuel cap.
- the red brake calipers which come on the 63 and could be obtained with the Dynamic Plus Package (not an option anymore) are for sure no longer available with 53. The best you can do, is what I did, and piece together Active Ride Control, silver high performance braking system and Track Pace as individual options.
- 3D Burmeister seems to indeed no longer be an option, was personally a bit let down with this as well.

$1250 - Exhaust
$350 - Aug Vid Nav
$1100 - Pano Roof
$450 - Vent Seats
$750 - Intelligent LED
Those are the newly standard options - they add up to $6890. The 2023 GLE 53 SUV base price is $76,950 and 2024 is $86,750. That's an increase of $9800 (or $8700 if the 2024 price includes destination) which means there is a year-over-year increase as well. And I wouldn't option vented seats or Nappa leather, but I know those options are pretty popular, so I can understand it.
However, the Pinnacle trim is +$3450 and groups lot of features with (for me) no value whatsoever. I don't care about air balance, massage seats, heated/cooled cupholders, or logo projectors. The only option in that package I want is the HUD, which is no longer available standalone.
So while you say it's a "wash," it's really only a wash if you were planning on ordering a fully-loaded vehicle. For others, it's a very significant price increase.

I ordered the coupe, MSRP went from $81.2k > $89.8k, an $8.7k difference. Now standard is the following:
Nappa Leather-$2990
Ventilated Seats-$450
Augmented Video-$350
MBUX Assistant-$200
Performance Exahust-$1250
AMG Drive Unit-$400
Surround View-$500
Total-$6140
So a $2560 increase going into 2024, which equates to a 2.8% overall increase in MSRP for a fresh model year with new cosmetic changes. Yes, that's a wash and completely acceptable for any brand in my opinion, it wasn't even 3% after a notorious year for inflation among other goods. Not making excuses for MB, just being factual.

Well, retract my previous statement, I just changed my order to a 63 after getting the wife's approval. So my build date is now null as apparently my dealer doesn't have official allocations yet for 63.
