2021 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SE

The 2021 Hyundai Elantra is listed with a Salvage Certificate of Title, and the auction’s primary-damage classification is FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe damage to the hood, grille, bumper cover, and headlamp areas supports the unverified FRONT END classification. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the provided photos. The vehicle has extensive frontal collision damage. The hood is severely deformed along its leading edge and left front corner, with raised, uneven sections and enlarged, irregular gaps to the fenders and headlamps. The grille and front bumper cover are broken and displaced across the front, with open gaps and exposed components. The right headlamp area has broken or displaced surrounding components and visible internal parts. The left headlamp lens appears present, but its surrounding mounting, trim, and adjacent fascia are disturbed. The full extent of damage to components behind the visible fascia, including structural, cooling, lighting, restraint, and driver-assistance systems, requires physical inspection. According to the VIN decode, this is a U.S.-built, left-hand-drive Elantra sedan with front-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a continuously variable transmission. Listed equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, electronic stability and traction control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping and lane-centering assistance, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and a rearview camera. NHTSA records list safety recalls for this model and year involving front seat-belt pretensioners, windshield bonding, front seat-back recliners, and the rearview camera. The seat-belt pretensioner recall was expanded and replaced by campaign 22V354000. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before purchase, and any damaged or deployed safety-system components should be professionally inspected and repaired.
