2020 HYUNDAI IONIQ Limited

The vehicle is a 2020 Hyundai Ioniq Limited hatchback/liftback, VIN KMHC05LCXLU242500. VIN data identifies it as a front-wheel-drive strong hybrid with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, electric motor, lithium-ion traction battery, and six-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured in South Korea. The auction records list the condition as “CERT OF SALVAGE > 75% DAMAGE” and the primary damage as “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the photographs show severe left-side collision damage consistent with the SIDE classification; however, the photographs do not visibly establish damage exceeding 75%, so that portion of the auction claim cannot be confirmed from the available images. The left front door has extensive horizontal creasing, deep deformation, and broad scraping or material transfer across the lower and middle sections. The left rear door is deeply crushed and sharply creased, with extensive paint abrasion and exposed damaged edges. The rocker panel and lower side trim beneath the doors are severely deformed, scraped, and partly displaced or broken. The left rear quarter panel is crushed and creased around the wheel opening, with extensive scraping and exposed material near the lower front edge of the arch. The left rear side-curtain airbag is visibly deployed and hanging along the roof-side area of the rear passenger compartment. Deployed side-airbag fabric is also visible beside the left front seat and along the door-pillar area. The restraint systems, related sensors, wiring, and surrounding structural areas require inspection and replacement assessment. A hybrid-system warning is displayed on the instrument cluster reading, “Check Hybrid system. Turn engine Off,” together with multiple warning indicators. The available photographs do not establish the underlying cause; the hybrid system and associated electrical components should therefore be treated as requiring diagnostic inspection.
