2025 X167, or wait for 2026 redesign?
Wondering on views as to whether to buy a 2025 GLS 580 now, or wait a few months for the redesigned 2026 model. Obviously a 2025 is cheaper but I'd pay up a reasonable amount more for a new model year/look.
Curious if anyone else is contemplating this issue?

What makes you think MY26 is a redesign?
I think it will be more of a 2nd refresh per Edmunds:

I trust the Edmunds speculation in my prior post link that was written this past March. Possibly more physical buttons and the inclusion of the hyperscreen. The exterior probably gets minor changes.

Yes a second facelift with the star headlights https://www.motorauthority.com/news/...lass-spy-shots
It would be a 2027 though not 2026.

With the tariffs in 2026 and MB eating the cost of all tariffs on 2025 model year vehicles, it is almost a no brainer.https://mbworld.org/forums/g-class-w...ventory-2.html

I am guessing MB wants to stretch this generation to 2030 and then decide if they want to go full EV or another ICE generation. Although recent data suggest manufacturers are backing on and restarting ICE production and development.

Rereading what I wrote, it does appear that "physical buttons" and "Hyperscreen" would be in opposition to one another. Does anyone know if the Hyperscreen implementation in other models automatically negates buttons?
