2025 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE GLE450e 4MATIC

The auction record lists the vehicle as a 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLE with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and FRONT END as the primary damage classification. Based on Stage 1’s photo review, the visible front-corner damage supports the stated FRONT END location; however, the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The most significant damage is concentrated at the front left corner. The front bumper cover is broken and missing, with black components exposed and loose or hanging white bumper material. The front left fender and wheel-arch area are severely deformed, with broken panel edges and inner components visible around the wheel. The left headlamp assembly is absent, leaving an open cavity. Additional exterior panel pieces beside the grille and wheel are broken or missing, exposing internal components. A detached, damaged white body-panel piece was also observed on the ground beside the vehicle. The VIN decodes as a 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class SUV, specifically the GLE450e 4MATIC. It is identified as a plug-in hybrid with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder M254 engine, turbocharging, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and a stated 381 horsepower. The vehicle was manufactured in the United States by Mercedes-Benz of North America. The decoded equipment includes standard ABS, stability and traction control, forward-collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive driving beams, rear automatic emergency braking, parking assistance, and front and side airbag systems. The photographs document substantial front-end collision damage, particularly to the bumper, left fender, headlamp area, and adjacent body panels. Mechanical, structural, electrical, restraint-system, hybrid-system, and cooling-system condition cannot be determined from the provided findings and should be verified through a comprehensive physical inspection before purchase.
