2024 HYUNDAI PALISADE SEL

The auction record lists the vehicle’s condition as “CERTIFICATE OF TITLE” and the primary damage as “HAIL.” Stage 1 reports that the hail claim is not clearly supported by a dense hail-dent pattern: the roof and liftgate appear largely smooth, while only several small, shallow depressions are visible on the hood. Stage 1 also notes that the clearly visible damage is concentrated in the front and rear windshield glass. The certificate-of-title designation is administrative and cannot be verified from the available images. The front windshield has multiple cracked and chipped areas, including prominent damage near the upper central section and another damaged area on the lower passenger side. The rear liftgate window is missing, with jagged glass remnants and fragments around the perimeter and lower edge. Several small, shallow dents are visible across the hood; the paint appears intact in the visible dented areas. The vehicle is identified by VIN KM8R2DGE4RU720591 as a 2024 Hyundai Palisade SEL SUV with 4WD, a gasoline 3.8-liter GDI Lambda II engine, and five doors. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in Ulsan, South Korea. Factory-decode data lists standard equipment including ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, forward-collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, rear automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rear visibility system.
