2025 HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 Limited

The auction record lists a salvage certificate with “more than 75% damage” and identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification through extensive front-end collision damage; however, the photographs do not establish whether the stated “more than 75% damage” threshold was met. The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 has severe damage concentrated across the front of the vehicle. The hood is extensively crushed, with multiple sharp creases and large deformed areas. The front bumper cover is missing, exposing the reinforcement beam and internal components. The grille and surrounding fascia are broken, displaced, and partly absent, with wiring and other components visible. Both front lamp areas are open, and the headlamp assemblies appear to be missing or damaged. The exposed front reinforcement beam has a pronounced bend. With the hood open, multiple front-end panels, supports, covers, and wiring components are broken, displaced, or absent. The lower front undertray and adjacent plastic components are cracked, broken, and hanging beneath the vehicle. Both the front-left and front-right hood-to-fender junctions have irregular panel edges and large open gaps. Detached bumper, grille, trim, and other front-end parts are visible beside the vehicle, with several pieces cracked, broken, or separated. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag is deployed, with the airbag fabric and torn cover material exposed. The extent of the visible damage indicates that substantial structural, electrical, restraint-system, lighting, cooling, and sensor-related inspection and repair may be required. The provided findings do not confirm the condition of the high-voltage battery, drive system, suspension, or other components not visible in the reported findings. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Limited, classified as an electric SUV/MPV with 4WD, manufactured by Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America in the United States. The decoded safety equipment includes front and side airbags, curtain airbags for the first and second rows, ABS, electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, lane-keeping and lane-departure systems, adaptive cruise control, and other driver-assistance features. These systems should be fully diagnosed and recalibrated after repairs. The supplied NHTSA recall information includes campaigns concerning rear floor wiring and rear side-airbag deployment, braking-control software on certain Ioniq 5 N vehicles, right-headlight aiming labels, high-voltage battery bus-bar tightening and potential short circuits, rear suspension fasteners, and front seat-belt retractors. Some campaigns apply only to specified configurations or VIN ranges, so recall applicability and completion should be confirmed directly with Hyundai or NHTSA using the vehicle’s VIN before purchase.
