2018 AUDI SQ5 quattro Premium Plus

The vehicle is listed with a salvage title certificate, with the auction’s primary-damage classification recorded as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible missing and broken front-end components support this classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The front-end damage is severe. The front bumper cover and center grille are missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement, cooling components, radiator, condenser, and internal mounting areas. One headlamp assembly and the painted front fender panel around one front wheel are also absent. The lower front trim and air-deflector pieces are broken, incomplete, and hanging or separated. In addition, a cooling component on one side of the exposed cooling pack is displaced, with nearby brackets and plastic components separated. The extent of damage visible in the front fascia indicates that substantial parts replacement and inspection of the underlying structure, cooling system, lighting, wiring, sensors, and mounting points will be required. The provided findings do not establish whether there is additional mechanical, suspension, restraint-system, or structural damage. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2018 Audi SQ5 quattro Premium Plus SUV with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and a reported output of 354 horsepower. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. NHTSA records show recalls applicable to 2018 Audi Q5/SQ5 vehicles, including possible gateway control-module shutdown caused by liquid intrusion, potential reduced braking performance, loosening wheel-arch trim, and a brake master-cylinder casting issue. Recall completion is not provided here, so the buyer should have an Audi dealer verify the VIN-specific recall status and confirm that all required remedies have been completed before purchase or operation.
