2026 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL Sport Premium

The vehicle is a 2026 Hyundai Elantra sedan, SEL Sport Premium trim, equipped with a 2.0-liter gasoline engine and manufactured in South Korea. The VIN decodes cleanly. The auction records the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” with “FRONT END” listed as the primary damage. The visible evidence supports the stated front-end damage claim, with extensive damage to the front bumper, grille, hood, headlamp area, and left-front body panels. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photographs alone. The front-left corner is severely crushed, with extensive tearing and deformation to the fender, bumper corner, headlamp area, and adjacent body panels. The front-left headlamp assembly is missing, leaving wiring, mounting areas, and other internal components exposed. The front bumper cover and lower grille are broken, displaced, and partially detached, with pieces hanging from the vehicle and additional detached parts visible on the ground. Multiple grille sections are broken, displaced, or missing. The hood is raised, bowed, and uneven along its front edge, with an enlarged and irregular gap above the grille. The front-left fender is heavily folded around the wheel opening and front-door edge. The front-left door has creasing and deformation along its forward and lower sections, while the left rocker panel is visibly crushed and irregular near the front door. The extent of the visible damage warrants inspection of the underlying front-end and body structure, suspension, steering, cooling, lighting, wiring, and safety-system components; these areas cannot be confirmed from the supplied findings alone. Inside the cabin, the driver and front-passenger airbags are deployed, with additional deployed restraint material visible. The instrument cluster displays “Check Forward Safety system” along with multiple warning indicators. The vehicle is equipped with standard forward-collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, and other listed safety systems; their current operating condition is unknown. One NHTSA recall is listed for this vehicle model and year: campaign 26V254000 concerns possible misassembly of the B-pillar side-impact sensors, which could delay airbag deployment. Hyundai’s stated remedy is inspection and replacement of the affected sensor(s), if necessary, at no charge. Recall completion for this specific vehicle should be verified by VIN before purchase and before any road use.
