2023 MERCEDES-BENZ EQE 350+ SUV EQE350+

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE 350+ SUV is recorded by the auction as having a salvage condition and “Front End” primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end collision damage supports the stated primary-damage claim; however, the salvage title status cannot be independently confirmed from photographs. The front bumper cover, grille, and both headlamp assemblies are missing, leaving the front reinforcement, cooling components, wiring, mounting areas, and other internal parts exposed. The front reinforcement beam is visibly bent, with displaced or damaged surrounding brackets. The front cooling pack and heat-exchanger components are crushed and displaced. The leading edge of the hood is creased, has chipped paint, and is uneven. Additional severe damage is visible on the left rear door and lower side area. The door has a large, deeply deformed section with sharp creases and an opening through the lower panel. The adjacent left rocker-panel chrome trim is distorted, interrupted, and partially separated from the body. The driver airbag has deployed from the steering wheel. The instrument display shows “AC Charging Inoperative” and “Service Required.” It also displays a battery warning with the messages “Stop Vehicle” and “See Operator’s Manual.” These warnings confirm an active charging-system concern, but the available findings do not establish the underlying cause or confirm the condition of the high-voltage battery or other electrical components. The vehicle should receive a complete diagnostic inspection before any attempt to operate or charge it. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a battery-electric Mercedes-Benz EQE-Class SUV, trim EQE 350+, with a reported 288-horsepower electric drive unit. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz North America in Vance, Alabama. The decoder lists standard front and side airbag protection, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, and other driver-assistance equipment; the condition or functionality of these systems cannot be confirmed from the damage findings. Overall, the vehicle has extensive collision damage affecting the front structure, cooling system, lighting, hood, driver restraint system, and left rear door, together with significant charging and battery-related warning messages. Structural measurements, high-voltage system testing, airbag and restraint-system replacement, cooling-system inspection, and a full scan for stored fault codes are recommended before repair or purchase decisions.
