2024 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL

The auction record identifies the vehicle as **Salvage** with **Front End** listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end damage supports the unverified Front End damage claim; however, salvage status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The front end has extensive collision damage. The hood is severely buckled and creased along its front edge, with an irregular raised contour across the front-right area. Most of the front bumper cover and grille are missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement, radiator area, brackets, wiring, and other components. The front passenger-side headlamp assembly is missing, while the driver-side headlamp is fractured and displaced with internal components exposed. The front passenger-side fender and wheel-arch edge are moderately deformed, with displaced wheel-arch liner material. Lower front plastic components are broken or displaced, and additional wiring and mounting brackets are exposed below the missing bumper cover. The driver steering-wheel airbag is visibly deployed. The findings indicate that the vehicle will require substantial front-end body, lighting, trim, wiring, and safety-restraint inspection and repair. The condition of concealed structural, cooling, steering, suspension, and mechanical components cannot be determined from the provided findings. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2024 Hyundai Elantra SEL sedan manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter gasoline MPI NU PE engine.
