2025 HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 SE

This 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 is listed with a salvage vehicle title and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reported that the visible front-end damage supports the stated FRONT END classification, while also noting that the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The visible damage is concentrated at the front. The hood has multiple moderate dents and creases across its forward section, with dark scuffing near the leading edge. The front bumper cover has a severely broken and separated section on one corner, with open gaps and internal components visible. The central grille and upper-bumper trim are missing, and additional black bumper trim and lower fascia sections are detached on the opposite side. A driver steering-wheel airbag is visibly deployed, indicating that the restraint system will require inspection and likely replacement of affected components. Minor cosmetic scuffing is present on the left lower rocker trim behind the front wheel and on the left rear lower bumper near the corner. The provided findings do not establish the condition of the high-voltage battery, charging system, suspension, steering, cooling system, or other components not visible in the reported damage areas. The instrument display reportedly shows “Refill battery system coolant” along with multiple warning indicators. This is a significant battery-system cooling concern that should be diagnosed before purchase; the warning alone does not identify the cause or confirm the extent of any mechanical or electrical damage. According to the VIN decode, this is a U.S.-built 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SE, classified as a sport utility/multipurpose vehicle. It is a battery-electric vehicle with a 4x2 drivetrain, a lithium-ion battery system, and standard equipment that includes ABS, electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and front and side/curtain airbags. Recall records provided for 2025 Ioniq 5 vehicles include campaign 25V064000 for a possible rear-floor wiring harness open circuit that may prevent a rear side airbag from deploying as intended; campaign 25V235000, replacing 25V065000, concerning braking and continued acceleration under specified features on Ioniq 5 N vehicles; campaign 25V373000 concerning an incorrect right-headlight aim label; campaigns 25V482000 and 26V068000 concerning improperly tightened high-voltage battery bus bars and potential fire risk; campaign 25V605000 concerning rear suspension alignment bolts; campaign 25V797000 concerning front seat-belt retractors; and campaign 26V314000 concerning rear-suspension fasteners. Recall applicability and completion status should be verified directly by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer, particularly for the campaigns limited to Ioniq 5 N vehicles. The high-voltage battery recalls are especially important given the displayed battery coolant warning.
