2026 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE 450 4MATIC

The auction record lists the vehicle as Salvage, with Rear recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the rear-damage classification, based on extensive liftgate damage together with additional rear bumper and trim damage. Stage 1 also notes that the generic salvage designation cannot be independently confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The rear liftgate outer panel is severely crushed and deeply deformed across the center and lower sections, with multiple sharp folds and an irregular surface profile. The upper liftgate trim is displaced and damaged, while the horizontal chrome strip is kinked, separated from the surrounding panel, and open at both ends. Trim or lamp-related components are missing from cavities on both sides of the upper liftgate area. The lower rear bumper cover is loose, with visible separation and an irregular gap along its interface, particularly from the left side toward the center. The right lower bumper exhaust-outlet area also has an open cavity, with the corresponding outlet-finish component missing or broken. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class GLE450 4MATIC SUV with all-wheel drive. It is specified with a 2.0-liter turbocharged, six-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 375 horsepower, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in the United States. Further inspection should verify the condition and operation of the liftgate structure, hinges, latching system, rear lighting, parking sensors, bumper reinforcement, exhaust-outlet components, and any related wiring or safety systems.
