2025 HYUNDAI SANTA FE Limited

The 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe is listed at auction with a “CERT OF TITLE—PARTS ONLY SALVG” designation and “ROLLOVER” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1’s assessment states that the visible evidence supports the rollover and all-over damage claims, with extensive damage to the roof, multiple body sides, front end, and several glass areas. Stage 1 also notes that the parts-only salvage title designation cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The vehicle has severe damage throughout the front end. The bumper cover, grille, headlamp assemblies, and surrounding fascia are missing or extensively broken, exposing the radiator, cooling module, wiring, and other engine-compartment components. Multiple front-end parts are crushed, bent, displaced, or broken. The hood is severely creased and raised, with a bent front edge, uneven gaps, and exposed components beneath it. The rollover damage is extensive across the roof and upper body structure. The front and rear roof sections, roof rails, and roof edges are crushed, folded, torn, and displaced. Damage is visible around the roof pillars and windshield-pillar area, with exposed interior material and damaged trim. The rear spoiler and roof trim are detached, bent, or displaced. The upper liftgate and right rear corner are severely deformed, with torn metal and trim around the missing rear glass. The left rear quarter and its junction with the roof are also heavily creased and deformed. Both sides show substantial body damage. The right front fender, front door, and rear doors have extensive dents, creases, and irregular deformation, and the passenger-side mirror housing is damaged and displaced. The left front door and fender also show extensive dents and creasing. The windshield is heavily shattered across nearly its entire visible surface, with broken glass spread across the dashboard and front cabin. The rear liftgate glass and left rear side glass are missing, leaving both openings exposed. Interior components are displaced or broken, including the center console and surrounding trim. Loose broken parts and debris are visible across the rear seating and cargo area. Multiple airbags have deployed, including the driver, front passenger, and curtain airbags in the front and rear cabin areas. The instrument display shows multiple warning indicators and the message, “Check Rear Occupant Alert System.” The extent of the structural, glass, restraint-system, electrical, cooling-system, and interior damage indicates that this vehicle requires comprehensive inspection and major repair or dismantling assessment. Its running condition, drivetrain condition, alignment, and the integrity of the passenger-compartment structure cannot be established from the supplied findings. The VIN decodes as a U.S.-built 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited SUV with front-wheel drive (4x2), a turbocharged 2.5-liter gasoline T-GDI Theta III engine, and standard safety equipment including front, side, and curtain airbags. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in Montgomery, Alabama. The supplied NHTSA recall data lists several campaigns affecting certain 2025 Santa Fe vehicles: campaign 25V549000 concerns potentially improperly tightened connecting-rod bolts and calls for engine replacement where applicable; 25V659000 concerns the starter-motor positive-terminal cover; 25V808000 concerns rearview-camera wiring; 25V809000 concerns side-curtain-airbag installation; and 26V218000 concerns front seat-belt anchors. Recall applicability, completion status, and any required repairs should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase.
