2022 AUDI SQ5 quattro Premium Plus

This 2022 Audi SQ5 is listed with a salvage certificate of title, with “rear end” recorded as the auction’s primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports rear-end damage: the rear liftgate, rear window, and rear bumper are visibly damaged. Stage 1 also reports substantial front-end damage. The rear liftgate window glass is missing, with exposed edges and remaining fragments around the frame. The rear bumper cover is separated and cracked, with open gaps and exposed components along the lower edge and left corner. The liftgate itself is creased and deformed across the lower and central areas, with uneven panel gaps. The front end has extensive damage, concentrated on the right side. Large sections of the front bumper cover, grille, and right lower fascia are broken or missing, exposing internal components and wiring. The right front corner and the area surrounding the right headlamp are also damaged, with broken or absent trim and body material. The hood has dents, creases, and deformation along the front edge and right-front area. The driver airbag is visibly deployed from the steering wheel. The VIN decode identifies the vehicle as a gasoline-powered Audi SQ5 SUV with a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine, automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. The decoded output lists a 349-horsepower engine, five seats, and the quattro Premium Plus trim. These specifications do not confirm the current mechanical, electrical, restraint-system, or structural condition. Two NHTSA safety recalls are recorded for this make, model, and year. Recall 21V947000 concerns possible liquid penetration of the gateway control module, which could cause sudden engine-power reduction; the remedy involves installing a protective cover and sealing an underbody seam as necessary. Recall 22V567000 concerns improperly connected rear-lid sheet-metal joints on one 2022 SQ5 Sportback vehicle, with rear-lid replacement specified as the remedy. Recall completion should be verified with Audi or an authorized dealer using the vehicle’s VIN.
