2020 HYUNDAI SONATA Limited

The vehicle is listed as having a salvage vehicle title, with the auction’s primary-damage classification recorded as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible missing and damaged front-end components, together with the deformed hood, support the stated FRONT END classification. The salvage-title status itself cannot be confirmed from the photos. The front bumper cover, central fascia, grille, and lower front trim are missing. This leaves the radiator area, bumper reinforcement beam, brackets, wiring, cooling components, and other internal front-end parts exposed. The lower front corners also have open gaps and exposed mounting structures. The hood is severely raised, creased, and buckled across its front section, with deformation extending toward both front corners and an uneven edge above the headlamps. The available findings identify significant front-end collision damage. The condition of concealed structural components, cooling systems, wiring, lighting, safety systems, steering and suspension components, and the extent of any required repairs cannot be determined from these findings. A complete physical inspection and diagnostic assessment are recommended before purchase or repair decisions. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2020 Hyundai Sonata Limited sedan with front-wheel drive, a gasoline 1.6-liter turbocharged T-GDI Gamma II engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing in Montgomery, Alabama.
