2025 HYUNDAI ELANTRA HYBRID Blue, SEL Sport

The 2025 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid is listed with a salvage certificate and an auction primary-damage classification of “REAR END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible severe rear-end deformation and damaged rear components support the auction’s REAR END classification; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The rear of the vehicle has extensive collision damage. Both the right and left rear trunk corners and adjoining body panels are severely crushed and folded inward. The trunk lid is extensively crumpled across the center and both sides, and the trunk opening is exposed with multiple displaced components. The trunk-mounted rear lamp and center light-bar area are broken and displaced, with gaps and missing lens or trim sections. The rear bumper cover is detached from the body, deformed, and separated by large gaps across the upper center and right side. Internal components are exposed. A detached painted bumper-cover component is also shown lying on the ground; its center section has a large break and missing material. Additional light-colored scuffing and abrasions are visible across the lower rear bumper cover. The VIN decodes the vehicle as a Hyundai Elantra sedan manufactured in South Korea, equipped with a 1.6-liter GDI Kappa gasoline engine and a gasoline-electric hybrid system using a lithium-ion battery. Listed standard equipment includes curtain and side airbags for the first and second rows, electronic stability control, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic emergency braking, and a rear visibility system. These systems, along with the hybrid powertrain and rear body structure, should be inspected and tested after repairs. One NHTSA recall is listed for this 2025 Elantra Hybrid: campaign 26V308000 concerns possible overheating of the hybrid power control unit, which may 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 or operation.
