2026 HYUNDAI PALISADE Calligraphy

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a salvage title and lists “REAR END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible rear-end damage supports this primary-damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The rear liftgate has severe damage, with the lower and central exterior panel missing and the white inner structure and multiple mounting holes exposed. Both rear lamp assemblies are missing, leaving open lamp cavities on the left and right rear corners. The rear spoiler assembly is also absent, with its mounting holes exposed; the rear wiper assembly remains visible along the upper edge. The rear bumper cover is cracked across the lower right section, and its lower corner is partially detached and hanging away from the bumper. Additional rear-side trim and lamp-area components are missing around the left rear quarter and liftgate edge, leaving mounting points and body structure exposed. The VIN decodes as a 2026 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy SUV with 4x2 drive, a 3.5-liter gasoline GDI V6 engine, and manufacture in South Korea. The decoded equipment includes standard adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, forward-collision warning, rear automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert, rear visibility monitoring, and parking assistance. The condition of these systems and any wiring or sensors in the damaged rear area should be checked during repair. Three NHTSA recalls are listed for this model and model year. They concern possible instrument-panel display failure caused by software, second- and third-row power-seat movement that may fail to detect a person on certain Limited and Calligraphy vehicles, and damage to the third-row driver-side seat-belt buckle wiring that may affect the seat-belt warning indicator. Repair completion and VIN-specific applicability should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before purchase.
