2021 AUDI Q5 E quattro Prestige

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a PUBLIC – SALVAGE TITLE and identifies SIDE as the primary damage classification. These are unverified auction designations. Stage 1 reported that the visible dents and creases on the left-side doors support the unverified SIDE damage claim; however, the salvage-title status could not be confirmed from the photos. The left front and left rear door skins have severe damage, with broad depressions and pronounced creases along the upper beltline and central/lower door areas. The left portion of the windshield has moderate cracking, including multiple radiating fracture lines. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2021 Audi Q5 e quattro Prestige SUV with all-wheel drive and left-hand drive. It is identified as a plug-in hybrid with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder powertrain, a seven-speed automatic transmission, and a combined system output of 362 horsepower. The vehicle was manufactured in Mexico and is equipped with features including curtain airbags for all rows, front and side airbags, ABS, electronic stability control, blind-spot monitoring, forward-collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rear visibility system. A physical inspection should be completed to check for damage behind the left-side door panels, possible effects on the door frames and side-impact structures, windshield-related systems, and the operation of the vehicle’s hybrid and safety systems. Recall status was not checked.
