Mercedes-Benz EQA Bonnet Latch Replacement Parts

The EQA is a fully electric vehicle with no combustion engine under the bonnet, and on many EVs the traditional bonnet latch is replaced by a fixed or flush panel with no conventional release mechanism — however, the EQA does retain a conventional bonnet that opens for access to the 12V battery, washer fluid, and other components, so a bonnet latch does exist on this model. It functions in the same way as a standard latch, with a release cable operated from inside the cabin. If you are struggling to find it listed, it may be catalogued under 'bonnet lock' or 'bonnet catch' by some breakers.

The EQA (H243 platform) launched in the UK in 2021 and, as of 2024, remains in its first generation with no full model change. Mercedes introduced a facelift around 2023, which brought updates to the front-end styling including revised lights and bumper, so the facelift boundary is the key consideration when sourcing a bonnet latch. The latch itself may be shared across pre- and post-facelift cars, but you should confirm this with the breaker quoting you, giving them your registration so they can check against the specific build.

The 2023 facelift updated the EQA's front end, and while the bonnet latch is a mechanical component that can sometimes carry over a facelift unchanged, it is not safe to assume this without checking. Give the breaker your full registration and ask them to cross-reference the part number from the donor vehicle against yours before buying. Never guarantee fitment based on generation alone when a facelift boundary is involved.

Trim level does not affect bonnet latch fitment — whether your EQA is a Sport, Progressive, AMG Line, or AMG Line Premium, the same latch is used across all variants. The bonnet itself is shared across the range, so the latch mechanism underneath is identical regardless of trim. You may find cosmetic differences in how the bonnet is finished on higher trims, but the latch hardware is interchangeable.

Drivetrain does not affect bonnet latch fitment on the EQA — the front-end structure and latch are shared across front-wheel-drive variants like the 250 and four-wheel-drive variants like the 300 4MATIC and 350 4MATIC. You do not need to match the drivetrain when sourcing this part. Confirm with the breaker using your registration if you want to be certain, but drivetrain is not a fitment variable here.

UK breakers (vehicle dismantlers) can supply used EQA bonnet latches, and Findapart lets you get quotes from multiple breakers at once. When contacting them, give your full registration number and let them know whether your car is pre- or post-2023 facelift if you know it, as this is the most relevant fitment detail for front-end parts. Ask the breaker to confirm the part number from their donor vehicle matches your car before committing to a purchase.
