2022 HYUNDAI SANTA FE Calligraphy

The auction record lists a Salvage Certificate and identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports this stated primary-damage code; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from exterior and interior photographs. The vehicle has severe collision damage across the front end. The hood is extensively crushed, folded, and buckled across nearly its full width, with deep creases and a distorted front edge. The front grille has numerous fractured and missing sections, exposing components behind it. The front bumper cover, lower fascia, and lower grille are severely cracked, torn, deformed, and partially missing, with open gaps and separated pieces. Several chrome and other exterior trim components are also cracked, displaced, or detached, with visible damage to their mounting areas. The driver airbag is visibly deployed from the steering wheel. The instrument cluster shows illuminated airbag, check-engine, EPB, and traction-related warning indicators. The findings indicate substantial collision involvement, but they do not establish the condition of concealed structural, mechanical, cooling, restraint-system, electrical, or drivetrain components. A comprehensive physical inspection and diagnostic assessment will be necessary before purchase or repair.
