2026 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL Sport Premium

The auction record lists this 2026 Hyundai Elantra as “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” with “ALL OVER” primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the ALL OVER / ROLLOVER damage description, with severe damage across the roof, front end, multiple side panels, rear bodywork, and vehicle glass. Stage 1 also notes that salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The vehicle has extensive collision damage throughout. The roof is severely crushed and folded, with a large irregular opening above the rear passenger compartment and damage to the surrounding roof structure. The windshield, rear glass, and visible left-side windows are broken or shattered. Both visible left-side doors, the rocker area, left rear quarter panel, wheel arch, and right rear quarter and trunk-area panels are heavily deformed. Rear bumper components are exposed, bent, displaced, and heavily damaged, while the bumper cover is missing. The front end is severely crushed and opened. The front bumper, grille, headlights, and surrounding panels are missing or destroyed, exposing wiring, the engine compartment, radiator, and front support components. The hood, left front fender, and right front corner are sharply folded or displaced. The visible radiator area and adjacent structural components are bent and crushed. The photographs do not establish the operating condition of the engine, transmission, cooling system, electrical system, suspension, or other mechanical components. The passenger compartment contains extensive broken glass and damaged or displaced trim and components. The driver airbag, side airbags, and curtain airbags are visibly deployed. The roof, doors, glass, interior, and multiple body structures will require major repair or replacement, followed by detailed structural, restraint-system, electrical, and mechanical inspections. The VIN decodes as a 2026 Hyundai Elantra sedan, SEL Sport Premium trim, built in South Korea, with a 2.0-liter gasoline MPI NU PE engine. Factory data lists front, side, and curtain airbag systems, along with various driver-assistance and safety systems. NHTSA recall campaign 26V254000 concerns certain 2026 Elantra vehicles whose B-pillar side-impact sensors may have been misassembled, potentially delaying airbag deployment. The VIN should be checked with Hyundai or NHTSA for campaign applicability and repair completion; the stated remedy is inspection and replacement of the affected sensor(s), if necessary, at no charge.
