2026 HYUNDAI SONATA HYBRID Blue

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title and identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end collision damage supports the FRONT END classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be independently confirmed from the photographs. The vehicle has severe damage concentrated at the front-left corner and front fascia. The complete front bumper cover, grille, both headlamp assemblies, and front-left fender are missing. The resulting openings expose the radiator/condenser area, lower front structure, inner panels, wiring, connectors, and other mounting components. Multiple detached front-end plastic and structural pieces, wiring, and broken fragments are also present on the ground behind the vehicle. The left front portion and leading edge of the hood are deformed, with an uneven contour, irregular panel gaps, and exposed components beneath the hood edge. The wheel-opening and surrounding body-side mounting areas have irregular damaged edges. The findings do not establish the condition of hidden structural, suspension, cooling, hybrid-system, restraint, or electrical components; a complete mechanical, structural, and safety-system inspection will be required before repair or operation. NHTSA VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2026 Hyundai Sonata sedan, Blue trim, with a 2.0-liter GDI NU PE engine and a gasoline/electric hybrid powertrain. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. Listed standard equipment includes LED low-beam headlamps, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, forward collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, rear automatic emergency braking, parking assistance, and a rear visibility system; the condition and functionality of these systems cannot be determined from the damage findings. One NHTSA recall record is listed for applicable 2025–2026 vehicles, including the 2026 Sonata Hybrid. Recall 26V047000 concerns an instrument-panel display software error that may prevent critical information, such as the speedometer or warning lights, from being displayed. The listed remedy is a free over-the-air or dealer software update. Recall completion for this specific vehicle should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA.
