2025 HYUNDAI SONATA HYBRID Limited

This 2025 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is listed with a salvage certificate and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. The visible front-end damage is consistent with that classification. However, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The front bumper cover is moderately damaged on the vehicle-right side and center, with a jagged break, separated edges, and dark components exposed behind the fascia. The central grille insert is missing, leaving internal bumper components and mounting surfaces visible. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag and an additional airbag in the lower driver instrument-panel area are deployed, indicating a significant collision event and requiring replacement of the affected restraint-system components and related inspection. The instrument display shows the warning message, “Check drive motor cooling system.” This is a displayed hybrid-system warning; the severity and source of any mechanical or electrical fault cannot be determined from the available images. The vehicle should undergo a complete diagnostic scan and physical inspection of the hybrid drive-motor cooling system before purchase or road use. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2025 Hyundai Sonata, Limited trim, four-door sedan, manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. It is identified as a hybrid electric vehicle with a 2.0-liter GDI NU PE gasoline engine and a lithium-ion battery. Factory-listed equipment includes driver and passenger front airbags, curtain and side airbags for the first and second rows, a driver knee airbag, ABS, electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic emergency braking, and a rear visibility system. A comprehensive inspection should include the front structure, cooling systems, wiring, sensors, airbags and seat-belt pretensioners, hybrid battery and drive components, suspension, steering, braking system, and vehicle frame or unibody alignment. Parts and repair costs cannot be estimated from the provided findings alone.
