Used Mercedes-Benz EQE Bonnet Latch

No — the EQE is a fully electric vehicle built on Mercedes-Benz's EVA2 platform, and unlike combustion-engined cars it has no traditional engine under the front lid. The front compartment (sometimes called a 'frunk') is sealed and accessed differently, meaning there is no conventional bonnet latch mechanism of the type found on petrol or diesel models. If you're looking for the front lid release or closure hardware, you'll want to search specifically for 'EQE front lid lock' or 'EQE frunk latch' and confirm the exact part reference with the breaker against your registration.

Because the EQE has no combustion engine, Mercedes-Benz engineers the front storage compartment with a flush or electronically assisted release rather than a traditional bonnet latch. The correct search terms are likely 'EQE front lid lock,' 'EQE frunk release mechanism,' or 'EQE front closure latch,' and the part number will differ significantly from any combustion Mercedes model. Describe your car's year and registration to the breaker so they can identify the right part from their dismantled EQE stock.

No — the EQE, EQS, and combustion E-Class are entirely different platforms with different front-end structures, so their latch and lock mechanisms are not interchangeable. The EQE uses Mercedes-Benz's dedicated EVA2 electric platform, while the E-Class uses the MRA combustion platform; even the EQS, though also EVA2, has a different body structure at the front. Confirm the exact part you need with a breaker who has dismantled EQE stock and can cross-reference against your VIN.

For a conventional bonnet latch, the motor variant would not affect fitment — but as the EQE has no traditional bonnet latch at all, this question doesn't apply in the usual sense. The front compartment release hardware on the EQE is common across power variants within the same generation, so drivetrain output should not be a concern when sourcing that part. Focus instead on matching the correct generation and build year, and let the breaker confirm the part reference against your registration.

The first-generation EQE (V295) launched in the UK in 2022 and continues as of 2025, with no confirmed production facelift released within that window at the time of writing. Because the EQE does not have a conventional bonnet latch, the question of facelift-related changes to latch parts does not arise in the same way as it would on a combustion car. If you need the front lid closure or release hardware, give your registration to the breaker and ask them to verify the part against their dismantled EQE — this is the safest route regardless of build year.
