2020 HYUNDAI VELOSTER N

The 2020 Hyundai Veloster N is listed with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status and FRONT END as the auction’s primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification through extensive hood, bumper, grille, fender, and front cooling-component damage. Stage 1 also states that the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The vehicle has severe collision damage concentrated at the front. The hood is heavily crushed, folded, and sharply creased across multiple sections. The front bumper cover, grille, and lower fascia are missing, with detached and fractured bumper components also present. The radiator, intercooler, radiator support, brackets, wiring, ducting, and surrounding plastic structures are exposed, displaced, broken, or separated. One front headlamp is displaced, and its mounting and surrounding fascia area are damaged. The front-side fender is severely deformed around the wheel arch and corner, while the adjacent front-door edge has pronounced dents and creases. Significant damage is also present on one rear side. The quarter panel has deep dents, sharp creases, and substantial deformation around the wheel arch and fuel-filler area. The fuel-filler door is missing, leaving the filler opening and cap area exposed. The lower side skirt is scraped, deformed, and partially separated. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag is visibly deployed. The supplied findings do not confirm the condition of the remaining restraint-system components, vehicle structure, engine, transmission, cooling-system functionality, suspension, steering, or electrical systems. A comprehensive mechanical, structural, and safety-system inspection will be required before purchase or repair decisions. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a South Korean-built 2020 Hyundai Veloster N coupe/hatchback with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine. The decoder lists the T-GDI THETA II engine and indicates a possible output range of 250 to 275 horsepower depending on equipment level; drivetrain and transmission details were not provided. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this model and year: campaign 24V528000 concerns the fuel-pump control/drive module, which may fail and cause a loss of drive power. The stated remedy is an engine-control-module software update and inspection, with fuel-pump replacement if necessary, performed free of charge by Hyundai dealers. The supplied information does not confirm whether this particular vehicle received the recall remedy.
