2017 AUDI Q5 quattro Premium

The auction record designates this 2017 Audi Q5 as a “SALVAGE TITLE CERTIFICATE” vehicle with “FRONT END” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the auction’s unverified FRONT END classification; however, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the available photographs. The vehicle has severe collision damage concentrated at the front, particularly on the image-right side. The hood is heavily creased with a raised, irregular edge, and the image-right front fender has multiple sharp folds around the headlamp and wheel-arch area. The front bumper cover and lower fascia are torn and displaced, with large sections missing or hanging from the vehicle. Detached bumper and underbody components are also lying on the pavement. The center grille is separated from the surrounding fascia and tilted downward, with damaged mounting areas exposed. The image-right headlamp assembly is missing, leaving wiring and internal components visible. The front radiator support and adjacent mounting metal are visibly bent, while the absent front fascia exposes the radiator, condenser, wiring, and other front-end components. The image-right front wheel-well liner or splash-shield material is detached or missing. The driver steering-wheel airbag is deployed, with inflated fabric protruding from the steering wheel. The vehicle should therefore be considered in need of comprehensive structural, cooling-system, electrical, lighting, and supplemental-restraint-system inspection and repair. No information is provided regarding engine operation, drivetrain condition, suspension condition, or the extent of damage behind the visible front-end components. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2017 Audi Q5 quattro Premium SUV, built by Audi AG in Germany. It is equipped with a gasoline 2.0T four-cylinder engine, all-wheel drive, and an automatic transmission.
