2023 MAZDA CX-5

The vehicle is listed with a salvage vehicle title and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible hood, bumper, grille, and front-fascia damage supports the FRONT END classification. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood outer panel is extensively creased and deformed across the front edge and both corners, with large gaps above the grille and headlights. The front bumper cover is cracked, torn, and displaced through the center and lower sections, leaving open gaps and exposing components behind it. The grille assembly and surrounding trim are separated from the front fascia, with broken or missing sections along the lower and side edges. The front-side fender and adjacent bumper corner are moderately deformed, with open panel gaps and separation around the headlight and wheel-arch area. A section of the black front wheel-arch trim is missing, leaving mounting holes and fasteners exposed. The driver steering-wheel airbag is deployed and hanging in front of the steering wheel. Further inspection is required to determine the condition of the underlying structural, lighting, cooling, restraint, steering, suspension, and mechanical components. The VIN decodes as a 2023 Mazda CX-5 SUV manufactured in Japan. It is equipped with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, a six-speed automatic transmission, and four-wheel drive. The decoded equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, front and side airbags, curtain airbags for the first and second rows, forward-collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rear visibility system. These systems should be tested after repairs, particularly because of the front-end impact and deployed driver airbag.
