Used Mercedes-Benz EQE Bonnet Strut

No — the EQE is a fully electric vehicle and its bonnet does not open in the conventional sense for engine access; instead it has a small front storage compartment (frunk) with a bonnet that is typically held up by a simple prop rod or fixed stay, not a gas-charged strut. If you are looking for a strut, you may be thinking of the boot/tailgate struts, which do exist on the EQE and are commonly available from UK breakers. Double-check what you actually need before requesting quotes.

The EQE's frunk lid on most variants is supported by a mechanical prop rod rather than a pneumatic gas strut, so a replacement 'bonnet strut' as a separate part is unlikely to exist in a breaker's inventory for this model. If your frunk lid is not staying up, the issue is more likely a worn hinge, a bent prop rod, or a damaged latch rather than a gas strut. Ask your breaker specifically about the frunk lid stay or prop rod for your registration.

Across all EQE variants sold in the UK — including the EQE SUV, AMG-badged versions, and different drive configurations — the front lid arrangement does not use a pneumatic gas strut in the way a conventional petrol or diesel car's bonnet does. No engine-bay access requirement means Mercedes had no need to engineer a heavy-duty strut into the design across any variant. If you have seen a part listed as a bonnet strut for the EQE, it is worth confirming with the breaker exactly what that component is before purchasing.

If it is a tailgate strut you need, that is a genuine part on the EQE and UK breakers will hold them. The EQE (W294 saloon) was launched in 2022, and any facelift boundary or part interchange question across model years should be confirmed with the breaker against your exact registration, as minor revisions can affect strut specification. This is the correct part to be searching for rather than a bonnet strut.
