2015 AUDI Q3 quattro Premium Plus

The vehicle is a 2015 Audi Q3, listed with a salvage certificate and “FRONT END” as the auction’s primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence strongly supports the stated front-end damage claim based on extensive hood, bumper, lighting, and front-corner damage. The salvage-certificate status itself cannot be independently confirmed from the available images. The front end has extensive collision damage. The hood is severely deformed, with deep creases and crushed sections across the front and center areas. Paint and finish have peeled away in multiple locations, exposing the lighter-colored underlying material. The front bumper cover and grille are missing, and both visible headlamp assemblies are absent or extensively damaged. Multiple front-end covers and components are also missing, leaving wiring, hoses, brackets, mounting areas, and other mechanical components exposed or hanging below the vehicle. The right front corner is severely damaged, with the bumper and surrounding exterior components missing. The hood edge and adjacent body panels are deformed, and internal components are exposed. At the left front wheel arch, the wheel-arch liner and adjacent trim are missing, with exposed inner areas and loose wiring near the wheel. The windshield has multiple branching cracks, mainly across the upper and central areas. The driver airbag, front passenger airbag, and side curtain airbags are deployed. Light scuffing and scratching are also present on the lower-left tailgate and across the rear bumper. According to the VIN decode, this is an Audi Q3 quattro Premium Plus SUV with all-wheel drive, a 1.984-liter four-cylinder gasoline 2.0T engine, and a factory-rated output of 200 horsepower.
