2022 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL

The auction record lists the vehicle as “GRAVEMENT ACCIDENTE” (seriously damaged) with “SIDE” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports both the side-damage classification and the seriously damaged condition, based on substantial collision damage to the left-side doors, rocker panel, and rear quarter area. Hidden mechanical or structural damage cannot be confirmed from the available photographs. The most significant damage is concentrated on the left side. The left rear door is severely crushed and heavily creased, with extensive deformation through the lower and middle sections, distortion around the lower edge and adjacent seam, and substantial paint abrasion. The rocker panel beneath the doors is also severely crushed inward and irregular, with scraped and damaged paint along the lower sill. The left rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area have moderate creasing and deformation, particularly near the front of the wheel arch and the rear-door junction. The lower rear portion of the left front door has a further crease with paint scuffing near the damaged rocker panel. The lower front bumper cover and valance show moderate scuffing and scraped paint. The lower edge has an uneven gap and appears partially separated from the adjoining bumper section. The VIN identifies this vehicle as a 2022 Hyundai Elantra SEL sedan manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. It is equipped with front-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a continuously variable transmission.
