2020 AUDI SQ5 quattro Premium Plus

The 2020 Audi SQ5 is listed with a salvage title, and the auction’s primary damage designation is “REAR END.” However, Stage 1 reported that the visible evidence does not support a significant rear-end primary damage claim: the rear area appears substantially intact, with only minor scuffing visible on the lower rear bumper. The documented exterior damage includes missing sections of the outer molding around the visible front wheel arch, with mounting holes exposed. The lower rocker-area trim behind the visible front wheel is also absent or broken, with irregular edges and light-colored material visible below the front door. Several light abrasion marks and scuffs are present across the lower rear bumper. These findings should be checked for any related damage behind the exterior trim and for proper replacement and attachment of the affected components. Factory data identifies the vehicle as an Audi SQ5 quattro Premium Plus SUV with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and a stated output of 349 horsepower. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. NHTSA records list recalls applicable to this model and year involving rear axle alignment following an earlier repair, possible water or liquid intrusion affecting the gateway control module, rear-axle trailing-arm lock nuts, and front seat-frame or backrest-adjuster welding. Recall completion status is not provided and should be verified with Audi using the VIN before purchase. A comprehensive inspection is recommended, particularly of the rear structure, underbody, suspension alignment, electrical modules, and areas behind the visible exterior trim.
