2023 HYUNDAI VENUE SEL, Limited

The 2023 Hyundai Venue is listed by the auction with a “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” condition and “REAR END” as the primary damage classification. The visible extensive damage to the liftgate, rear bumper area, and rear body corners supports the stated rear-end primary-damage claim. However, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The left rear quarter panel and rear bumper corner are severely deformed and torn, with an open gap and exposed internal components around the tail lamp and bumper area. The liftgate has extensive creasing and deformation across its center and lower sections, including the areas around the Hyundai emblem and lower edge. The rear bumper cover is missing, leaving bumper components, wiring, and mounting structures exposed. The right rear corner is also distorted, with cracked and separated panel edges and exposed components. Multiple detached bumper sections are visible on the ground beside the vehicle. At the front, the lower bumper has a moderate cracked and open section with missing or displaced trim near the lower grille. A separate minor abrasion and surface scuff are visible on the lower front bumper corner. Both front airbags are visibly deployed: the driver airbag from the steering wheel and the passenger airbag from the upper dashboard. Their related restraint-system components should be assessed during repair. According to the NHTSA VIN decode, this vehicle is a South Korean-built 2023 Hyundai Venue wagon with a 1.6-liter gasoline GAMMA II engine and continuously variable transmission. The decoded equipment includes front, side, and first- and second-row curtain airbags, as well as standard ABS, electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rear visibility system.
