I think it's a big mistake for Mercedes to give its nearly 8-year-old models a second facelift and keep them in production until 2030. I don't understand why Mercedes isn't completely renewing these models. While its biggest rivals—the X5, X6, and X7—will be fully renewed within a year, the GLE, GLE Coupe, and GLS will receive a second facelift and remain on the market for another 4 years.

Moreover, during this period, the Audi Q7 will be completely renewed and an all-new Q9 will be launched. Frankly, I believe Mercedes' upper-class SUV models will face a tough 4 years ahead. Because they'll be up against brand-new competitors. It's obvious that these models will look quite old next to them, no matter how much they are facelifted. These are quite aged models.
