2021 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a salvage title, with “FRONT END” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive damage to the hood, front bumper, grille, headlamp areas, and front cooling area supports the stated FRONT END damage code. The salvage-title status itself cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood is extensively creased, buckled, and depressed across the centre and both front sections. Multiple grille and upper-fascia sections are broken, displaced, or missing, leaving the radiator area exposed. The front bumper cover has cracks, separated sections, and displaced trim across the centre and both corners. Both headlamp areas are displaced with visible gaps, and the right headlamp has broken or cracked lens material. The grille opening exposes the radiator/condenser area, while the visible front plastic support and surrounding trim have broken or separated sections. Large, uneven gaps are present between the hood, front fenders, headlamps, and bumper at both front corners. Numerous cracks and fractured areas extend across the windshield, particularly through the lower and central portions. Light scratches and scuff marks are also visible on the left rear door and adjacent left rear quarter panel. The supplied VIN data identifies this vehicle as a 2021 Hyundai Elantra SEL with the Convenience Package, a four-door sedan built in South Korea. It is front-wheel drive and equipped with a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder gasoline engine. The decoded equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, blind-spot monitoring, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, and a rearview camera. NHTSA records list recalls for the front seat-belt pretensioners, windshield bonding, front seat-back recliners, and rearview camera. The seat-belt pretensioner recall was expanded and replaced by recall 22V354000. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorised dealer before purchase, particularly because the windshield is visibly cracked and the vehicle has substantial front-end damage. The available findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, cooling-system operation, suspension, steering, airbags, seat belts, electrical systems, or underlying structural components. A comprehensive physical inspection and diagnostic assessment are recommended before purchase.
