2025 HYUNDAI ELANTRA HYBRID Blue, SEL Sport

This 2025 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction’s primary-damage designation is “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end collision damage supports the unverified “FRONT END” code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The vehicle has extensive severe damage concentrated at the front. The hood is heavily folded and deformed across the front and left side. Multiple front-fascia components are missing, leaving internal components and the engine-bay area exposed. The front bumper cover is cracked, torn, displaced, and separated in several areas, while the grille has broken and displaced sections. The lower front fascia is also hanging away from the vehicle with broken edges and open gaps. The left front fender and wheel-arch area are severely crushed and creased, with components exposed or displaced around the wheel. The left headlamp area contains broken and missing lamp and fascia sections, with internal components visible. The radiator and other front cooling-area components are exposed because of the missing or displaced bumper and surrounding fascia. The windshield has multiple branching cracks in its lower-left area. The VIN decode identifies the vehicle as a 2025 Hyundai Elantra sedan manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. It is identified as a hybrid electric vehicle with a 1.6-litre GDI Kappa engine, gasoline and electric fuel systems, and a lithium-ion battery. The decoded trim field lists “Blue, SEL Sport.” No drivetrain or transmission details were provided. 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 HPCU software update through Hyundai dealers. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase. Given the extent of the front-end damage and exposure of cooling-area components, a comprehensive structural, mechanical, electrical, hybrid-system, restraint-system, and water-intrusion inspection is recommended before repair or purchase.
