2025 AUDI S5 quattro Premium Plus

The 2025 Audi S5 is listed with a salvage certificate and an auction condition designation of “greater than 75% damage.” The auction’s primary damage code is “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible severe damage to the vehicle’s right side supports the SIDE code; however, exterior photos alone cannot confirm the stated greater-than-75-percent damage threshold. The vehicle has extensive severe collision damage along the right side. Both the right front and rear doors are deeply crushed and creased, with scraped paint, torn outer panels, and heavily deformed lower sections. The right rocker panel and lower sill are crushed and torn, with irregular metal deformation and exposed areas. The right rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area are extensively crushed, and the wheel-well opening is irregular, with exterior body material visibly damaged or missing. The right rear wheel and tire assembly is absent from the vehicle; a wheel and tire assembly is visible on the ground beside it. The right rear bumper corner is broken and open, with missing exterior material and exposed internal areas. The outer right rear tail lamp has broken or missing lens material. Additional light horizontal scuffing is visible across the rear bumper cover. A side-curtain airbag is visibly deployed along the upper passenger-compartment roofline and hangs into the rear seating area. Small dark abrasion or puncture-like marks are present on the red leather front driver-seat cushion. The visible damage indicates that the doors, rocker structure, rear quarter area, wheel position, bumper, lamp assembly, and restraint systems require detailed inspection and repair assessment. According to the VIN decode, this is an all-wheel-drive Audi S5 Sportback with a 3.0-liter turbocharged gasoline V6, automatic transmission, and a factory-rated 349 horsepower. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany and is identified as the quattro Premium Plus trim. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this 2025 Audi S5. Campaign 25V638000 concerns possible production damage to one or both front seat-belt retractors; the stated remedy is free replacement of the affected front seat belts. Campaign 25V899000 concerns the rear seat-belt automatic locking retractors potentially failing to engage when securing a child seat; the stated remedy is inspection and replacement of the right and left rear seat-belt assemblies as necessary. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Audi or an authorized dealer.
