Model Year End 2025 GLE53
Does anyone know approximately when Mercedes stops accepting orders for the 2025 GLE?
I'm interested in a GLE 53, and recently saw that this car may be a PHEV only for 2026. I'm hoping to order a 2025 build this Summer, but not sure if that will be too late. Thank you!

Hurry up grab them for those into the market as those are tariff protected by MBUSA. Model year 2026 will not be protected https://mbworld.org/forums/g-class-w...inventory.html

If they didn't cash it, it may be difficult to prove they accepted your deposit, an Offer and Acceptance AKA legal transaction.
It also protects you if another Salesperson sells the car to someone else before you pick it up, AKA you complete the transaction.
These events are unlikely, but I've seen it happen on more than one occasion.

@tooth32 Congrats on getting a 2025 order in. The dealer that told me that orders had closed did not get my business. In hindsight, I should have been more patient and ordered one. Between a Grand Cherokee 4XE that would die and try to go into park at 55 mph (and many other drive battery issues) and Stellantis not having a fix for it and then the tariffs, I rushed into mine, but love it, save for the lack of towing and heated steering wheel. Who would've though a car with Pinnacle and Driver Assistance pkgs wouldn't have a heated steering wheel?

They should, if you left a deposit and they cashed the check.

Wow, I'm shocked re: heated steering wheel. I just checked and turns out it's a part of the Winter Package (along with heated windshield washers).
One option I saw on the dealer computer, but nowhere on the website was Magic Vision Control. Not sure how much different this is compared to the standard windshield, but $350 did not seem worth it for what you get.

Never heard of that Magic Vision Control. I looked it up, and it may be worth it if you live in the snow belt and get a lot of snow and ice. I don't see the need in Maryland, where I live. Did you get the Coupe or the non-coupe?
Mine came with the Acoustic Comfort Package which I really like. I wouldn't have ordered it, but glad I have it.

Thanks! I was on the fence about the tow package -- I've heard there are some engine/battery upgrades? I have no plans to tow, but was curious about the technical upgrades.

My build has: Night Package, Winter Package, Pinnacle Package, Acoustic Comfort, 4 Zone Climate, Power Rear Sunshades, Heated Rear Seats, Rear Air Bags, Driver Assistance, Dash Cam, and a few small accessories.
Don't recommend magic vision control if you keep the vehicle long and/or if you wear wipers often as the replacement cost of wipers are more than traditional wipers. What magic vision control is integrating the washer fluid sprayers in the wipers so it doesn't spray everywhere on the windshield, a more luxurious way to clean the windshield if you will. The system itself doesn't really have any fatal flaws, relatively reliable I believe.

I went with the SUV -- wanted the trunk space for road trips. I ordered with the Acoustic Comfort Package too, hoping it doesn't silence the actual exhaust noise too much!

Wow good to know, thank you. That would drive me nuts. Do the standard wipers require MB specific replacements? My current Volvo needs OEM inserts which aren't super costly, but annoying to purchase.

nope, I don't think you have to get MB replacements, here is an example price, Valeo is the manufacturer according to OP of this thread, keep in mind it is not talking about the V167 GLE:

Oh wait a minute, I just realized something, the GLE 53 is made in Alabama, you skip all the vessel part, should be way quicker than a car coming from Germany for example. I say what you need to do now is wait for the VIN, there is really not much you can do sadly.

Will need to have the VIN and then the vessel when it is shipped, you can then look it up on public sites. For example: https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...s-shipped.html

I believe my car is scheduled to go into production end of May, so am hoping for an early July delivery (dealer is in Virginia).
