Should I buy a 2025 GLE63s or will there be a facelifted 2026?
My dealer said there is a 2026 facelift but he has no details on it as of yet. Not sure if that would be for a 63 anyways. Seems like a lot of 2025s for sale - like almost 700 on autotrader right now. I'll be traveling extensively across the US end of this year and all of next year, and want to find a nicely optioned white one so as to fly under the radar. I don't feel comfortable doing it in my Urus Performante, which I'll sell because of a one in one out policy. I had a 2022 GLE 63s coupe a while back. There's quite a few things I like better on the MB, especially safety features which is important to me. Although, the Urus is a much better built and more reliable car. I had several problems with my GLE 63. MB isn't what they used to be, but most of us know that by now. So how much can I expect to negotiate off a 2025?

In the US and you are right. I did get a DOG for 2026 after I posted this and really no changes at all for the most part. Will be interesting to see the combo of price increase and tariffs. I'm assuming the 2027 is going to be uglier, heavier and have more screens. Tis the way everything is going nowadays.

Maybe it's just me, but Mercedes' gratuitous use of the star emblem on everything and super large star on the grill is getting a bit tacky. I always thought that Mercedes was understated elegance, but that is seemingly disappearing with each new model. With the rapid depreciation of our vehicles, I plan to keep my 2025 for a long time. @W205C43PFL - Good links. Thank you.

Sorry, I might not be understanding which particular one you mean, you mean the grille or the centre MB star?

It's gauche. Like I'm a poseur.
Now the Twinkle Twinkle little stars are everywhere.

One of them there S cars
Should be able to wrap it / tint it without loss of performance. The radar unit behind the star (I'm inferring that's where the distronic antenna is from your post), is not going to be defeated by a thin piece of plastic. If you want to feel safer about it, wrap / tint it with non-metallic film... though, not sure how big of a difference non-metallic vs metallic would make in this application.
