2024 MERCEDES-BENZ EQE SUV EQE350 4MATIC

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate indicating “>75% damage” and an auction primary-damage classification of “REAR END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible rear-left collision damage supports the REAR END classification. However, the photos do not show sufficient evidence to support the “>75% damage” claim. The visible damage is concentrated at the left rear. The bumper cover is severely broken and displaced, with a large open section at the lower-left corner and internal areas exposed behind it. The rear-left quarter panel is moderately creased and deformed around the tail lamp and wheel arch, and the gaps between adjacent body and bumper panels are irregular. Exterior bumper and lower-rear-corner trim are also separated from their normal fitted positions, with some pieces hanging away from the body. The VIN identifies this vehicle as a 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE350 4MATIC SUV. It is an all-wheel-drive battery-electric vehicle with a single electric motor, rated at 288 horsepower, manufactured by Mercedes-Benz of North America in Vance, Alabama. Factory-listed safety and driver-assistance equipment includes front and side airbags, ABS, electronic stability control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic emergency braking, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, a rear visibility system, and parking assistance. The findings document substantial rear-left exterior collision damage. The condition of the underlying structure, lighting components, sensors, electrical systems, high-voltage components, suspension, and vehicle operation cannot be determined from the provided findings and should be verified through a comprehensive physical inspection.
