2026 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE 450 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as rear damage. Stage 1’s photo review supports this claim, identifying extensive damage concentrated at the right rear quarter, rear bumper area, and rear body panels. The vehicle has severe collision damage throughout the right rear corner. The right rear quarter panel, wheel-arch area, roof rail, C-pillar, and quarter-panel transition are extensively crushed, folded, and torn, with distorted window-frame contours and open gaps. The rear body opening and lower rear body panel are visibly deformed, with displaced mounts and internal components. The rear bumper cover, lower rear fascia, right rear bumper-side assembly, and associated exterior trim are missing. The bumper reinforcement, brackets, mounting hardware, wiring, and underbody components are exposed. Multiple wiring harnesses and connectors are hanging within the damaged rear body area. The right rear quarter window is shattered, and the surrounding frame has jagged, damaged edges. The area around the right rear lamp is crushed, with exposed mounting points and missing exterior pieces. The fuel-filler surround is severely creased and displaced, with irregular gaps and torn edges. An exhaust component and heat-shield area are exposed beneath the right rear corner, with the pipe end appearing irregularly positioned and separated. The condition of the underlying body structure, suspension, exhaust system, wiring, safety systems, and fuel system cannot be confirmed from these findings and should be assessed through a comprehensive physical inspection before purchase or repair. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class GLE 450 4MATIC SUV, built in the United States. It is equipped with all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 375 horsepower, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The decoded safety equipment includes front and rear parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring, rear visibility equipment, adaptive driving beams, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking support, and side and front airbags. Damage in the rear body, bumper, wiring, and quarter-window areas may affect the operation or calibration of relevant safety and parking-assistance systems, which should be verified after repairs.
