2023 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL

The 2023 Hyundai Elantra is listed by the auction with a salvage title designation and “SIDE” as the primary damage classification. The Stage 1 assessment reports that the visible evidence supports the SIDE classification, based on extensive deformation of the visible side doors and rear quarter panel. However, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The visible front and rear side doors have severe damage, including deep irregular creases, buckled outer panels, and substantial deformation. The rear quarter panel is moderately damaged, with pronounced dents and deformation ahead of and around the rear lamp and bumper junction. One rear door window glass panel is missing, leaving the door interior exposed. Both visible headlamp assemblies are absent, leaving open cavities with wiring or internal areas visible. An outer rear lamp assembly is also missing. The lower rear bumper trim or insert is absent, with attachment points exposed, and the visible rear bumper corner has broad gray-white abrasion or exposed surface damage. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2023 Hyundai Elantra SEL sedan with front-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a continuously variable transmission. The decoded safety equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this vehicle’s make, model, and year. Recall 22V632000 concerns the driver’s frontal airbag cover emblem, which may detach during deployment; the stated remedy is replacement of the airbag. Recall 23V526000 concerns the Idle Stop & Go electric oil-pump controller, which may overheat and increase fire risk; the stated remedy is inspection and replacement of the controller as necessary. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before purchase or operation. The damage findings are based on visible evidence and do not confirm the condition of hidden structural, mechanical, electrical, restraint, or underbody components.
