2022 HYUNDAI KONA

The 2022 Hyundai Kona is listed with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and an auction primary-damage code of SIDE. The visible severe deformation on the left side supports the unverified SIDE damage classification. However, the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The left front door has extensive deep creases, crushed sections, and significant deformation across the centre and lower portions. The left rear door has a broad dent with multiple creases around the handle and lower-middle area. The rear edge of the left front fender is wrinkled and deformed near the door seam and wheel arch. Scraped paint and irregular deformation are also visible on the left rocker panel beneath the doors. A side-curtain airbag is visibly deployed, with white airbag fabric hanging from the roof-side area beside the front seat. The restraint system, associated trim, wiring, door structures, rocker panel, and possible underlying body or chassis damage should be professionally inspected and repaired before the vehicle is considered roadworthy. Factory data identifies this vehicle as a 2022 Hyundai Kona SUV/MPV with front-wheel drive, a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, and five doors. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. The VIN is KM8K33A36NU820170. NHTSA decoding lists standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, and a rear-visibility system; the operational condition of these systems cannot be determined from the provided findings.
