2022 HYUNDAI SANTA FE

This 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe is listed with a Certificate of Destruction and an auction primary-damage classification of SIDE. The provided Stage 1 assessment states that the visible extensive damage on the left side supports the auction’s SIDE classification. It also states that the Certificate of Destruction is an administrative title status and cannot be confirmed or contradicted from exterior photographs. The left front fender is missing, exposing the inner wheel-well area and adjacent mounting surfaces. The left front door has broad, severe deformation with multiple deep creases. The left rear door also has extensive dents and horizontal and diagonal creasing. The left rear quarter panel has a large, irregularly dented area around the fuel-filler area and above the left rear wheel opening. These findings indicate substantial collision damage along the vehicle’s left side. The condition of structural components, suspension, steering, airbags, wiring, doors, and other systems cannot be determined from the supplied findings and requires a comprehensive physical inspection. According to the VIN decode, this is a two-row, five-seat SUV with front-wheel drive (4x2), a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The decoded trim information is listed as SEL with Convenience Package; XRT. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States. Listed standard equipment includes ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, curtain airbags for the first and second rows, front and side airbags, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and a rearview camera.
