2022 HYUNDAI TUCSON PLUG-IN HYBRI Limited

The vehicle is listed by the auction as having a PUBLIC – SALVAGE TITLE, with FRONT END shown as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end damage supports the FRONT END classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The front bumper cover, grille, surrounding grille trim, and lower front fascia components are missing or displaced, leaving the bumper reinforcement, radiator, cooling components, wiring, and mounting areas exposed. The left front fender has severe deformation with irregular panel contours and exposed mounting areas. The left front headlamp assembly is detached and hanging below the front-left corner, and the left wheel-arch trim is also detached. A moderate angular dent and crease are present in the forward section of the left front door. Loose or displaced parts are visible at both lower front corners. The extent of the damage indicates that the vehicle will require substantial front-end repair and replacement work. The condition of concealed structural components, cooling systems, wiring, lighting systems, restraint systems, and the hybrid powertrain cannot be determined from the provided findings and should be verified through a thorough physical inspection before purchase.
