2020 MAZDA CX-5 Grand Touring

The vehicle is a 2020 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring SUV with a salvage vehicle title. The auction lists the primary damage as rear-end damage. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment reports that the visible evidence supports this claim: the rear liftgate and glass are missing, and the rear body, bumper, lamp area, and spoiler are extensively damaged. Extensive front-end damage is also visible. At the front, the hood is severely creased and deformed across the front and center sections, with an uneven raised gap above the grille. The front bumper cover is cracked, torn, partially detached, and missing sections, exposing components below and along the sides. The grille surround and adjacent trim are broken, separated, or missing. The front corner near the headlamp and fender also has open gaps, broken or detached fascia, and exposed components. The rear liftgate panel and rear hatch glass are absent, leaving the cargo opening exposed. The rear body metal is extensively crushed and creased across the hatch opening, rear panel, and both rear corner areas. The rear bumper is heavily deformed, torn, and partially detached. The left rear lamp assembly is absent or severely broken, with internal components and mounting structure exposed. The upper rear spoiler and surrounding trim are cracked, separated, and displaced. The driver and front passenger airbags are visibly deployed. The instrument cluster displays a “4WD System Malfunction” message and a check-engine warning indicator. These are important concerns requiring diagnostic inspection; the available findings do not establish the underlying cause. According to the VIN decode, this is a Japan-built, left-hand-drive CX-5 equipped with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, six-speed automatic transmission, and four-wheel drive. The decoded vehicle information also identifies standard safety and driver-assistance equipment, including front and side airbags, curtain airbags for the first and second rows, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear visibility systems. Given the extent of the collision damage and deployed airbags, a comprehensive structural, mechanical, electrical, restraint-system, and water-intrusion inspection is recommended before purchase.
