2020 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE 4X4

The auction record lists the vehicle as **CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE**, with **FRONT END** identified as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this unverified front-end damage claim, citing extensive damage to the hood, grille, front bumper, headlamp areas, and front cooling area. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood is sharply crushed and deeply buckled across the front and center, with displaced edges and substantial paint loss or scraping. The grille is distorted, with broken or missing inserts and irregular openings. The front bumper cover and lower fascia are cracked, deformed, displaced, and scraped. Both headlamp areas have broken or displaced lenses, trim, and mounting sections. The front-side fender is also creased and deformed around the headlamp and upper wheel-arch area. The radiator, condenser, front support, and surrounding components are exposed and visibly damaged, including bent cooling fins, broken shrouding, and displaced or crumpled parts. The driver steering-wheel airbag, front passenger airbag, and side or curtain airbags are visibly deployed. These findings indicate that substantial structural, cooling-system, lighting, restraint-system, and front-end repairs will be required. The condition and operation of mechanical, electrical, steering, suspension, and safety systems cannot be confirmed from the provided findings. Several loose tires in the cargo area have shallow, substantially worn tread and may require replacement. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2020 Jeep Cherokee SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by FCA US LLC at the Belvidere Assembly plant in the United States.
