2025 HYUNDAI SONATA SEL

The 2025 Hyundai Sonata is listed with a salvage certificate and “FRONT END” as the auction’s primary-damage classification. The visible evidence supports the front-end damage classification: substantial damage is present to the hood, bumper, grille, and front fascia. However, the salvage-certificate status itself cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The hood has moderate deformation and creasing near the leading edge and front corner, with scraped or abraded paint. The front bumper cover and lower fascia have severe damage, including extensive tearing, missing sections, detached or broken lower components, irregular gaps, and exposed internal parts. Multiple grille pieces are cracked, broken, or missing, allowing radiator-area components to be seen. The front-corner fascia also has broken and displaced plastic, separated trim, large openings, and exposed mounting and front-end components. Inside, minor cosmetic wear is visible. The light-colored outer bolster of a front seat has dark scuffing and discoloration, while the rear seat cushion has several small brown stains. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a South Korea-built 2025 Hyundai Sonata sedan, SEL trim, equipped with a 2.5-liter gasoline GDI Theta III engine. The decoded equipment includes standard front, side, curtain, and driver-knee airbags, as well as several driver-assistance features, including forward-collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control. The available findings do not establish the condition or operation of these systems, the engine, or other mechanical and structural components. A thorough physical inspection and functional testing are recommended before purchase.
