2026 HYUNDAI SANTA FE Limited

The auction record lists a Salvage Certificate with FRONT END as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive hood, bumper, grille, and front-corner damage supports the stated FRONT END code; however, the Salvage Certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The vehicle has extensive damage across the front end. The hood is severely creased and deformed on both the front-left and front-right sides, with uneven gaps above the grille and headlamp areas. The front-left fender and wheel-arch area have multiple deep creases and substantial deformation. The front bumper cover is torn, incomplete, and separated in several areas, with missing sections, open gaps, exposed internal components, and visible wiring. The front-right bumper corner and adjacent trim are also torn and incomplete. Grille sections have broken or displaced mounting areas, with visible gaps between the grille, upper fascia, and bumper components. A wiring harness and related components are hanging beneath the front bumper. The driver-area steering-wheel and lower driver-side airbags are deployed. Curtain airbags are also visible along the roof-side areas. Airbag-system components, wiring, sensors, seat belts, and related restraint systems will require professional inspection and repair. The supplied findings do not confirm the condition of the engine, transmission, cooling system, suspension, steering, frame, or other components not visible in the reported images. A comprehensive structural, mechanical, electrical, and safety-system inspection is strongly recommended before purchase or repair.
