2014 CD I purchased a pair of Bosch 3397009034 a year ago on Amazon for $25, I see they are now $36. They are both 26". Easiest wipers I've ever installed, 30 seconds for both of them.

You can try what I did. Buy Michelin Guardian Plus Beam from Costco for $12 each with tax. Sometimes they have coupon as well like $5 each which brings cost way lower. Michelin do sell 26" wiper but according to their size chart my Cayenne (2016) needs 24" each side. I took one 1 minute to change. Only reason Michelin got bad rap is people don't know to change adapter for their car. If you go to Michelin website and find out what size do you need and next to it there is a instruction video as well.
Any way they perform very well no issues.

Is the Guardian Plus similar to the Bosch Icon? The Icon is good for snow and ice. Bosch for $36- they must be trying to make up for all the money they had to pay for diesel gate!

I don't think it will. I just picked this because that is what showed up on Bosch's site.

The company I usually order from (Wipers Direct) say 26"/26" for the driver and passenger blade here in Australia with a 14" rear wiper blade.

Dealer = Stealer.

But coming to their aid, they also refill the blinker fluid reservoir and change out the winter/summer air.

But of course they do (NOT!)

Instead of getting them at the dealer, I purchased the front 26" pair as well as the rear blade (not sure if 14" or 15") from Pelican using Bosch Aerotwin for a grand total of $36.78. Took me all of 2 minutes to replace all three myself. Spent a little longer to refill the blinker fluid and summer air in the tires

Make sure you use the correct Pentosin synthetic blinker fluid.

Otherwise the performance of the turbo encabulator may be compromised.
