2023 HYUNDAI ELANTRA N Line

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title, with “SIDE” recorded as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible side-panel, mirror, and left-rear damage supports the auction’s side-damage claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The vehicle is a 2023 Hyundai Elantra N Line sedan, VIN KMHLR4AF3PU560798. Factory data identifies a front-wheel-drive configuration with a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 201 hp and a seven-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured in South Korea. The visible damage is concentrated along the left side and rear-left corner. The left exterior mirror assembly is missing, leaving its black mounting area exposed. The left front fender is creased and deformed around the wheel arch, with scraped paint and darker transfer marks. The left front door has a large longitudinal dent with multiple creases, extensive paint scraping, and dark transfer marks along the lower section. The left rear door also has dents, creases, scraping, and paint loss along its lower edge. The left rocker panel and lower sill show extensive longitudinal scraping, paint loss, and visible deformation beneath the doors. The left rear quarter panel is severely dented and creased around and ahead of the wheel opening, with substantial paint scraping and dark transfer marks. At the rear, the left tail-lamp assembly is displaced and visibly broken or incomplete, with exposed internal areas and gaps around the lamp housing. The left rear bumper cover is torn, detached, and pulled away from the body at the corner and lower edge. A detached section is hanging outward, exposing black inner structure and other internal components. The affected bumper and lamp areas should be inspected for damage to their mounting points, adjacent body structure, wiring, and rear safety systems.
