2022 HYUNDAI KONA

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE TITLE” condition and identifies the primary damage as “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated front-end damage claim through extensive front-end damage; however, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The 2022 Hyundai Kona has extensive severe collision damage to the front end. The driver steering-wheel airbag is deployed. The hood is bowed, creased, and raised, with uneven gaps along the front edge. Large sections of the front bumper, lower fascia, and grille are missing, broken, or displaced, exposing internal components. The front-left fender and bumper corner are damaged around the wheel opening, and detached bumper, grille, trim, and plastic parts are visible on the ground. The front-right headlamp assembly is missing, with wiring and mounting components exposed. A pronounced dent and crease are also visible on the right side of the rear liftgate below and beside the Hyundai emblem. The provided findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, suspension, steering, cooling system, electrical systems, or the extent of structural damage. The vehicle should undergo a comprehensive physical inspection and verification of all restraint-system and front-end repairs before purchase. Factory data identifies this vehicle as a South Korea-built 2022 Hyundai Kona SUV/MPV with front-wheel drive (4x2), a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 147 horsepower, and standard front, side, and curtain airbags.
