2025 HYUNDAI KONA SEL

The auction records list this 2025 Hyundai Kona as **Salvage**, with **Front End** recorded as the primary damage. The visible hood deformation, uneven hood gaps, and front bumper scuffing support the stated Front End damage code. However, the Salvage title status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The hood has multiple raised and creased areas across the center and front edge, including deformation on the center-right side. It sits noticeably higher than the adjacent left front fender, creating a pronounced uneven gap. The painted front bumper cover has light linear scuffing below the grille. The driver and front passenger airbags are visibly deployed. The instrument cluster displays the message **“Check Active Air Flap System”** along with warning indicators. This active air flap system warning is a specific concern requiring diagnostic evaluation; the available information does not establish its underlying cause. According to the VIN decode, this is a South Korea-built 2025 Hyundai Kona SUV/MPV with front-wheel-drive configuration identified as 4x2, a 2.0-liter gasoline MPI NU PE engine, and a five-door body. The decoded safety equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, ABS, electronic stability control, forward collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, and other driver-assistance systems. These systems should be inspected and electronically tested following the collision, especially in view of the deployed airbags and instrument-cluster warning.
