2023 HYUNDAI SONATA HYBRID Blue

The auction records list a Certificate of Destruction and identify the primary damage as SIDE. Visible extensive damage to the left-side doors, front fender, and rocker area supports the SIDE damage classification. However, the Certificate-of-Destruction status cannot be confirmed or contradicted from exterior and interior photographs alone. The 2023 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is identified by the VIN decode as a sedan with a 2.0-liter GDI NU PE gasoline engine, gasoline/electric hybrid propulsion, and a six-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea and is listed in the Blue trim. The left front door has severe inward deformation, with multiple sharp creases and heavily distorted outer-panel metal. The left rear door has a large irregular dent and multiple creases, including deformation around the door-handle area and lower section. The left front fender is creased and deformed near the rear of the wheel opening and the door-jamb area. The rocker panel and side skirt below the left doors show crushing, irregular contours, and scraped surfaces. Inside the vehicle, the outer side bolster of the front seat is torn open, exposing yellow foam and other internal material. Pink fabric-like material is hanging from the front edge of the roof/headliner. A red airbag-shaped warning indicator is illuminated in the instrument cluster, indicating that the restraint or airbag system requires diagnostic inspection. The visible damage appears concentrated along the left side, but the extent of any structural, suspension, electrical, hybrid-system, or restraint-system damage cannot be determined from the provided findings. A comprehensive physical inspection and diagnostic scan are recommended before purchase, with particular attention to the left-side structure, door and rocker-panel mounting areas, airbag system, seat-belt pretensioners, and hybrid components.
