2022 HYUNDAI SONATA HYBRID SEL

The vehicle is a 2022 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid sedan with front-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter GDI NU PE engine, gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain, and an automatic transmission. The VIN decode identifies the vehicle as an SEL trim produced by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. Listed standard equipment includes adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, and front and rear automatic emergency braking. The auction record lists a salvage certificate of title and identifies hail as the primary damage. Visible evidence supports the hail-damage claim: numerous small, shallow, rounded dents are concentrated across the hood, roof, rear roof area, and trunk lid, particularly on the upward-facing horizontal surfaces. The visible vertical body panels are largely smooth. The paint appears intact at the visible dent locations, although the extent of any concealed damage or the cost of paintless dent repair cannot be determined from these findings. The front windshield is extensively spiderweb-cracked and shattered across much of the glass. The rear windshield is missing, with broken and jagged glass remnants around the opening. The driver-side exterior mirror assembly, including the housing and glass, is absent, exposing internal mounting components. The exterior handle is missing from the left rear door, leaving the handle recess open with internal components visible. The salvage-title status cannot be verified from photographs. Replacement of both windshield assemblies, the driver-side mirror, and the left rear door handle will be required, along with assessment and repair of the hail dents. Further physical inspection is recommended to check the vehicle’s hybrid system, electrical components, body structure, weather sealing, glass-related wiring, and overall roadworthiness before purchase.
