2024 HYUNDAI ELANTRA HYBRID Blue

This 2024 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid is listed with an auction condition of “CERT OF SALVAGE < 75% DAMAGE” and a primary damage code of “FRONT END.” The auction condition designation is an unverified auction claim. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the “FRONT END” classification, while the photographs show localized severe front fascia damage and do not support or independently confirm the “CERT OF SALVAGE < 75% DAMAGE” claim. The front bumper cover is severely cracked, displaced, and separated from adjacent components, with large openings across the front fascia. Multiple sections of the center and upper grille are broken or missing, exposing internal components. Body-colored and black fascia sections at the front-left corner and around the grille surround are also missing, leaving mounting and lamp-area components visible. The front edge of the hood is moderately deformed, raised, and uneven, with a pronounced gap above the front fascia. The surrounding fascia at the front-left headlamp is broken and displaced, with exposed components and irregular gaps around the lamp assembly. According to the VIN decode, this is a South Korea-built 2024 Hyundai Elantra sedan, Blue trim, with a 1.6-liter GDI Kappa engine and gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain. Listed factory equipment includes LED low-beam headlights, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, rear automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert, electronic stability control, traction control, and front and rear curtain and side airbags. One NHTSA recall is listed for this model year: campaign 26V308000 concerns the hybrid power control unit, which may overheat and increase the risk of fire. The stated remedy is a free software update by Hyundai dealers. Recall completion should be verified by VIN before purchase or operation. Due to the severity and location of the visible damage, inspection of the underlying mounting structures, lighting components, cooling and hybrid-system components, wiring, restraint systems, and vehicle operation would be required before repair or registration decisions are made.
