2024 HYUNDAI IONIC SEL

The auction record lists this 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 as having a salvage title, with “FRONT END” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end collision damage supports the auction’s “FRONT END” classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be verified from exterior photographs. The vehicle has extensive damage concentrated at the front and left-front side. The hood is severely creased and buckled in the left-front area, while the left-front fender is heavily deformed around the wheel arch and toward the front door. The left-front door has substantial creasing, deformation, and paint scuffing. Its lower edge and the adjacent rocker-area trim are also damaged or displaced, with mounting points exposed. The front bumper cover and lower fascia are missing or detached, and loose bumper pieces are visible near the lower corners. The front grille and center fascia trim are missing, exposing internal brackets and components. Multiple upper and lower front-compartment plastic panels and mounting sections are broken, displaced, or absent. The windshield has multiple visible fracture lines. The driver steering-wheel airbag, front passenger airbag, driver seat side airbag, and a right-side curtain airbag are visibly deployed. A serious warning is displayed on the instrument panel: “Check brake system,” accompanied by a red brake warning indicator. The braking system and related components require thorough inspection before the vehicle can be considered roadworthy. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SEL, a battery-electric sport utility/multipurpose vehicle manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea.
