Fitment questions

Does a bonnet latch from an older S-Class fit my newer one — for example, will a W220 latch fit a W221?

No, the W220 (1998–2005) and W221 (2005–2013) are entirely separate generations with different front-end structures, so the bonnet latch from one will not fit the other. Each generation has its own latch design matched to its bonnet and slam panel. Always source a latch from the correct generation for your car.

Will a bonnet latch from a pre-facelift W222 fit my facelifted W222 S-Class?

The W222 ran from 2013 to 2020, with a facelift introduced in 2017 that brought changes to the front end including the bonnet, grille and lights. Whether the bonnet latch itself is identical across the pre- and post-facelift W222 is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as subtle changes to the bonnet or slam panel could affect compatibility. Name your exact year and reg when requesting a quote to be sure.

Does the S-Class bonnet latch differ between S350, S500, and S63 AMG trim levels?

No — trim level and engine make no difference to bonnet latch fitment on the S-Class; all variants within a given generation share the same front-end structure and latch mechanism regardless of whether the car is an S350, S500, or S63 AMG. You may find cosmetic differences around the slam panel area on AMG models, but the latch itself is the same part. Focus on matching the generation and facelift period, not the trim badge.

Does wheelbase matter — will a long-wheelbase S-Class bonnet latch fit a standard-wheelbase car?

No, wheelbase makes no difference to bonnet latch fitment because the front-end structure, including the bonnet and latch, is shared across standard and long-wheelbase variants within the same generation. A latch from an S-Class L (long wheelbase) will be the same part as one from the equivalent standard car. Just match the generation correctly.

I have a W223 S-Class — which generation is that and will latches from W222 cars fit?

The W223 is the current generation S-Class, launched in 2021, and it has a completely redesigned front end compared to the W222 (2013–2020), so the bonnet latch from a W222 will not be compatible. Source a latch specifically from a W223-generation car to ensure correct fitment. Supply your registration to the breaker so they can confirm the exact part needed.

Does it matter whether my S-Class has a petrol or diesel engine when sourcing a bonnet latch?

No — engine type, whether petrol, diesel, or even the hybrid variants, has no bearing on bonnet latch fitment on the S-Class. The bonnet and latch are shared across all engine options within a given generation. Simply match the correct generation and facelift period and you can disregard what is under the bonnet entirely.
