2026 HYUNDAI TUCSON Limited, Night

The vehicle is listed by the auction with a salvage certificate of title and “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. The visible severe damage clearly supports the auction’s front-end damage claim. However, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior and interior photographs alone. The front end has sustained extensive collision damage. The hood is sharply creased, buckled, and crushed across the front and center sections. Both front fenders and the wheel-arch areas are heavily deformed, and the front door edge adjacent to one fender also shows moderate creasing. The front bumper, grille, fascia, and multiple lower plastic components are missing, broken, or detached. Removed bumper and lighting assemblies are visible separately, with broken housings and exposed mounting components. The front lighting assemblies are absent or damaged, and wiring, brackets, mounting hardware, and other internal front-end components are exposed. The radiator, condenser, cooling modules, and related components are visibly deformed, including bent cooling fins. The available findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, suspension, frame structure, or other mechanical systems; these areas require a thorough physical inspection. Both the driver and front passenger airbags are deployed, and warning indicators are illuminated on the instrument display. Repair will therefore require replacement and inspection of the restraint-system components in addition to extensive front-end, lighting, cooling-system, wiring, body-panel, and structural repairs. Several NHTSA safety recalls are listed for certain 2026 Hyundai Tucson vehicles. These include recalls involving connecting-rod bolts and possible engine damage or oil leakage, instrument-panel display software, side-impact airbag sensors, and forward-collision-avoidance camera software. Applicability and completion status should be confirmed by checking this vehicle’s VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase.
