2023 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL

The vehicle is listed with a Certificate of Destruction and FRONT END as the auction’s primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification because extensive front-end collision damage is visible. The Certificate of Destruction designation cannot be confirmed or disproved from the available photos alone. The front bumper fascia and grille are missing, exposing the reinforcement beam and cooling components. Both front headlamp assemblies are absent. The hood has sharp creases and severe deformation along the front edge and left-front corner, with an uneven gap above the front components. A front fender is crushed and folded around the wheel opening, while a substantial portion of the front-left fender is missing. The lower front splash shield is detached and broken, with sections hanging below the exposed structure. Additional damage is visible to the left front door, including black abrasion and irregular deformation near the front edge and lower area. The exterior door handle is missing, leaving an open recess in the handle area. Based on the VIN decode, this is a 2023 Hyundai Elantra SEL with the Convenience Package. It is a four-door front-wheel-drive sedan equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and a continuously variable transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company in South Korea. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this model and year. Recall 22V632000 concerns the driver’s frontal air-bag cover emblem, which may detach during deployment and increase the risk of injury. Recall 23V526000 concerns the Idle Stop & Go electric oil-pump controller, which may overheat and increase the risk of fire. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai using the vehicle identification number before operation or purchase. The visible damage indicates that substantial front-end repair and inspection will be required, including assessment of the exposed cooling, structural, lighting, and related components.
